It’s valentine’s day, that special day where single people are bitter and wish they were in relationships and people in relationships wish they were single… oh and something about Al Capone killing a bunch of people on a boat or something. Here’s a little vday mix for all you punk hearts out there, because I’m [...]

Cincinnati’s Mixtapes have been an incredibly busy band. In a span of less than two years, they’ve released an album, 3 EPs, and a split. Their latest EP “Hope Is For People” is one of those albums that just immediately puts you in a good mood the second it starts. If you’re not smiling (or [...]

San Francisco’s Punch have done what I previously would have thought as impossible. With their latest “Nothing Lasts” EP, the band somehow managed to create something even more ferocious and pissed off than their “Self Titled” album. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: while many have touted Punch as one of the [...]

Sometimes it seems like Canada has it all: public health care, better maple syrup, and a plethora of damn good skate influenced punk rock. Ontario based Adelleda is the latest band to add to great canadian punk, and their 8 track “Herkimer Street” is 20 minutes of melodic skate bliss. While I realize that it’s [...]

When I first heard Graf Orlock, I was blown away immediately. Any band that could take the Jurassic Park theme song and turn it into a grindcore song gets an A+ in my book. Los Angeles self described “cinema-grind”, Graf Orlock mixes music and movies, and with their latest (well, released in 2009) “Destination: Time [...]

This is a test post with our spanking new host. Hopefully it updates the feeds. Who would have thought moving away from blogger would be such a challenge?

So for the past few days, I've been laboring (and laboring) to move this humble ole' blog Midwestern Housewives from blogger over to our own host using Wordpress. This shouldn't effect anyone too much (I hope) as I tried to make it as seamless as possible (let me know if you experience any issues in [...]

(Hitler learns he’s not on Grey Area’s guest list…I found this while looking for Grey Area on youtube. I love the internet.) Yesterday was completely ridiculous. After heading to the Philly’s piazza to watch a free Newfound Glory show (I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many fights break out), then Philly’s shit show “Makeout [...]

If there is one band that always manages to surprise the hell out of me, it's Fucked Up. I remember listening to their demo and Epic in Minutes back when it came out and thinking they were pretty solid hardcore band, but not the messiahs of hardcore many were touting them to be. Now ten years later they release "David Comes To Life" and not only are the 'too cool for school' writers at

If I can sum up Dangers "Messy Isn't It" in one word, it would be 'uneasy'. Just looking at the album art should give an impression as to what to expect: raw and challenging. The album opens immediately challenging the listener "why didn't you kill yourself today...Prove to me that the air you breathe wasn't better served by the leaves of a tree".Playing furious and incredibly aggressive

Like a gang-bang porn, sometimes 4 artists come together to create something incredibly beautiful. When I heard that Black Numbers was releasing a 4 way split between Grey Area, The Reveling, The Copyrights, and Luther, the word anticipation would be an understatement. Shit, I would have picked this up for the two Grey Area tracks alone even if the rest of the songs were flatulence as

So you’ve probably heard about the whole SOPA/PIPA mess going on. It’s gotten bad enough to the point where major companies like google and craigslist are taking a stand on it. Pretty much, imagine if you’re grandparents tried to “fix” the internet. It’s sort of like that. And YOU can make a difference. What is [...]

Originally hailing from NJ, I've been a Bigwig fan for a VERY long time, yet I realized that I haven't posted one of my favorite albums by them. In the interest of not failing my home state (and by consequence, not having defender of NJ Danny Devito come by and kick me in the balls), let me just state that Bigwig's Invitation To Tragedy is an essential.Released over 10 years ago back in

Atlanta’s The Wild have been getting a lot of press as of late. I never got to check out any of their albums, but I am loving their split with Run Forever. The split starts with the folksy ballad “Street Names” and the incredibly catchy harmonica driven, dual male/female vocals of “To Be Content”. Besides [...]

Brooklyn NY. Usually associated with hipsters, mobsters telling you "fuhgeddaboutit", and now one of the most solid new melodic hardcore bands I've heard in a while. Man The Change released their either incredibly long or incredibly short 8 song "Weather The Storm" last year, and I've been listening to it nonstop as of late.Pulling from a grab bag of punk rock influences, I hear traces of
