You have to love a band that formed around the goal of making music that sounded “ less gross than Foreigner ”. The Skabbs were a “Class of ’77” West Coast punk band that was making jagged “disaffected with the world” punk right around the same time that similar-minded (though not necessarily similar sounding) bands like Black Flag were first starting out. Adding to the comparison, The Skabbs went into the studio to record with producer Spot right around the same time Black Flag recorded “Nervous Breakdown”. According to the band’s bio, The Skabbs “ were (are) a punk rock or new ...

Sonic Avenues Television Youth Dirtnap Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Sonic Avenues sophomore album represents another quality punk release from Canada. Album Review: Canada seems to be pumping out the punk rock lately and Sonic Avenues's sophomore record, Television Youth , is another strong statement that they have got it right. This go around the band has pushed their songs in both a more punk and pop direction compared to their self-titled debut. This approach gives Television Youth a much wider appeal as tracks like "Waste Away Alone" soar with big hooks, while other songs like album opener "Givin' Up ...

There was always an element of the daft in punk rock. The Dickies were the first Los Angeles punk act to cross the Atlantic. They had that same wilfully stupid thing going for them that The Ramones did, but they were more lurid, more camp. It worked. I mentioned once that I'd have loved to have seen The Ramones as a Saturday morning cartoon show, having adventures with vampires and werewolves. The Dickies were that band, and their famous cover of the Banana Splits theme tune is testament to that. They were known for their cover versions, and here ...

The trio were part of Billboard's Film & TV Conference's "Out of the Band and Onto the Screen" panel where Martinez explained it was the infamous Chili Peppers "The Abbey Road EP" cover in which he wore only a sock that led him to film scoring.
