The release of SKSK third album was almost unnoticed to me until i seen it in the target. They have moved a long way from the After Dark EP of being a deep dark sound.
Review: New Maps Of Hell
Bad Religion's new record New Maps Of Hell is amazing. The songs have so much energy && the shows to promote the new record where some of the best ive ever been to.
Review: Shorebirds - S/T 7"
With a lineup featuring ex-members of Jawbreaker and Latterman, it would have taken a lot for me not to like this record. Fortunately, that isn't the case.

The 31st Street Pub has offered live music for 11 years. It opened in 1962.
That's when Harry Greenfield, now 81, bought a bar inhabited by mill workers. The older Greenfield said that worked all right, until the mill closed. Son Joel, whose teenage interest soon blossomed into skull collecting, helped plot the bar's dark, outlaw future. Greenfield, a biker, turned the pub into a biker bar. Greenfield said a biker bar was a good fit. He was always attracted to people, like him, who scared others. "I liked it when (moms) pulled their kids away from me," he said.
Life was good for awhile: The White Stripes played twice in 2001, arguably the club's biggest moments.
The artists, are very loyal. "I love it," said Angelo Amantea, 39, a drummer for The Science Fiction Idols, who has played the pub hundreds of times. Amantea said one of his old bands, The Ultimatics, once made $900 during a CD release party.
Big bands, and big-name appearances, witnessed through the 31st Street Pub:
•The White Stripes -- twice in 2001
•Marky Ramone (drummer from the Ramones) and the Intruders
•Mo Tucker (drummer from the Velvet Underground)
•The Black Keys
•Sylvain Sylvain (guitarist from the New York Dolls)
