MP3s, news, videos, snippets, snark, Internet ephemera, and everything LOLs.

All snark, all the time.
Godspeed!

These locals are never not writing the kinds of anthems that you simply can’t help but shout to the heavens. Turn those speakers up as loud as possible, and then go ahead and click play.

Video: DZ Deathrays - “The Mess Up (The Death Set remix)”

Every once in a while you find a video of the kids of The Death Set just doing the dumbest/best stuff ever, like here, where you get them going shot for shot with Jameson and having lots and lots of puking on screen.

Not for the weak stomached—like their music and live shows.

Godspeed!

News: Drive Thru Records turns fifteen

Drive Thru Records are releasing their entire back catalog through iTunes this season, and they’ve already set out over 40 of them to date, and, to be honest, we spent a lot of formative years with the Drive Thru catalog (Dashboard Confessional, Finch, Home Grown, Midtown, Senses Fail, Allister, et al.) so kudos to the brother-sister duo for continuing on in their quest that started in their home.

Godspeed!

Photos: Fireworks played at the Fred Perry surplus store on October 12

We were asked about a month ago to come to the Fred Perry surplus store on Grand Street in Brooklyn to shoot their little in-store hangout session that happened this past Wednesday afternoon with the pop punk act Fireworks, so we sent the lovely photo intern Alex Fromer to go and shoot the band playing acoustic for the kids inside. It was fun and, of course, massive love to Fred Perry.

Web: Saves The Day’s “Daybreak” full album stream

Video: The Coathangers - “Trailer Park Boneyard”

Bratty but beautiful has always been the modus operandi for the girls in The Coathangers, who, along with Mike Moore, director of their previous clip for “Hurricane”, take on the trailer park and the dust & scratches effects in Final Cut Pro for “Trailer Park Boneyard”, the latest single from their Suicide Squeeze effort Larceny & Old Lace. They swing and thrash and drive and hang all in the confines of the dusty “neighborhood” environments of the trailer park and, surprise surprise, drummer Stephanie Luke has a new haircut update, so be on the lookout. Cutie pies.

Godspeed!

Stream: Jonah Matranga - “I’m Dying Tomorrow (Alkaline Trio cover)”

Jonah Matranga (of onelinedrawing, Far and New End Original) covered one of our favorite straight-ahead “goodbye” pop-punk songs, Alkaline Trio’s “I’m Dying Tomorrow”, and you can hear the exclusive stream over at the Alternative Press Web site. It’s much more subdued, as you’d expect it to be, but the sincerity shines through even easier than the original. A Tribute To Alkaline Trio is out August 30 on Pacific Ridge Records.

Godspeed!
