I've always wanted to post about this famous Moshzilla photo, I never got the background info though as to what show this was taken at so I think I'll just add a song of my own choice.

Look at the intensity on her face, anyone else care to imagine what's got her Mosh up?

With the lack of real Punk nowadays I thought I'd go back to the 80's again. I've done the more mainline soundtracks so decided I wanted something else. Probably one of the best punk bands ever and they're not even British, with some of the best bass guitar you will ever hear in any genre, with a style that echoes punk, rock, thrash and jazz, the Dead Kennedy's were the political voice of punk in the 80's.

As a big fan and defender of the Dead Kennedys (I have to keep telling people that Jello Biafra's voice is actually perfect for the songs and not annoying), it pains me to realize that the Dead Kennedys were a key reason behind the torture porn horror film phenomen. Reprehensible director Eli Roth, the man behind the Hostel films as well as a contributor to Grindhouse, told Spinner.com that old school punk was one of his main influences:
In fact, Roth finds a lot of similar... MORE

San Francisco's satirical, sarcastic left-wing legends of punk, The Dead Kennedys have compiled ten of their best-known recordings to be released on October 9. Milking the Sacred Cow(Manifesto Records) is the first "greatest hits" venture and the second compilation from the band (1987's Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death being the first).

It's punk rock tuesday right? I'm having housing issues, dammnit! How bloody hard does it have to be to get a decent apartment? I just got back into the country 4 weeks ago from living abroad, my sister and I have been trying to find a nice apartment/condo-thing (for a change) to rent. She's in the middle of changing jobs(stepping up in fact), I'm temping until I get a damn address, at which point getting a better job will be easier. We passed the credit check. Great! An... MORE

P.S. I'm kinda insulted that in the "Genre" tab, Punk is not available. Just kinda insulted, I really don't care that much.

ok, i have never really checked out much in the way of video online, but this brings back some serious memories. Crashpryor's recent reference to the re-emergence of the bad brains got me thinking about searching for video in this direction. whatever people may think of jello biafra, the dead kennedys as a band kicked ass. this song was a great expression of how my friends and i felt about the s.f.p.d. and cops in general.

Art has always been a big influence on my life. When I was in college, I began to get into the whole graffiti culture, finding the art that I was seeing on the walls as truly incredible. As time went by and I began to learn more about the artists, and what went into the art they were producing. One artist's work always caught my eye, and that was of Shepard Fairey.Shepard Fairey has been around, and there is a good chance you have seen his work in your home town. I recentl... MORE
