How many times in your life have you have loathed that one guy just because you “knew” he was an utter tool (not like you ever bothered to actually get to know him)? “Chump” is all about that sort of knee-jerk irrational prejudice. Backed by a distorted ringing guitar that recalls 1980s underground rockers Hüsker Dü (one of Green Day’s biggest acknowledged influences),...

"It Ain't Gonna Save Me" from the album Watch Me Fall 2009 iTunes As far as persona goes, this middle-school dropout from Memphis is as misanthropic and explosive as Iggy at his peak. But, as negative, bellicose, piss-drinking fuckups go, he certainly does work hard. Since the 1990s, he's issued a steady stream of music under a confusing array of auspices, including the Reatards, Lost Sounds,...

From the preview Gone Away Again : The Fiery Furnaces, Cryptacize, Dent May (Chop Suey) Just when you thought you'd never hear a straightforward recording by the Fiery Furnaces again, along comes their new album I'm Going Away (Thrill Jockey). It's the most classic-rocking record of their career and the least cluttered since 2005's EP, and it couldn't come at a better time. After seven years of flaunting...

My Official Worst Gig Ever: The Screaming Ameebas / Death Planet Commandos, July 1988. Not just your average bad gig - you know, boring band, arrogant frontman, grotty venue - but the Seventh Circle of Hell itself. We ( that is, the semi-legendary Death Planet Commandos ) were supporting the Screaming Ameebas at a black hole of a venue called the Night Owl. We'd seen the Ameebas around the local scene...

Maybe it's the volatile nature of the beast, but it always seems like it's extremely difficult to keep a good hardcore band together. With all that raw emotion coming out of the singer's throat and the inevitable misplaced flailing limb, it's no wonder that many of the most intense groups break up just as they're [...]

Found: a mixtape labeled with one small scribble across side A: I'm miss wrrrrrld. This leads me to believe it was the background music for the Halloween party my roommates and I held in 1997, the year I dressed in tribute to the Lady Courtney. I wor...

New Day Rising (Fan Site) MySpace Page We’re going to try to do something bigger than anything like rock & roll and the whole puny touring band idea.
