Coming forth on Record Store Day (April 21) is what will most likely be an incredible piece of music from one of our favorites, Nobunny!!!! It’s called The MaximumRockNRoll EP and is “minimum fidelity and maximum punk attack”. That sounds good I tell ya! It will be released by the great Goner Records.
Side A: “Assholes” “At The Mall” “I Can’t Stop”
Side B: “I See Swastikas” “Lizard Liar$ & Sluts For Hire”

This is one of the better ones (of dozens) I’ve seen in terms of atypical interview questions and fantastic live footage. Great shout out to Jay, Joe!
Nice! King Khan always has awesome side projects going on. Black Jaspers consists of Khan and Jasper Hood of the Moorat Fingers and they have been kicking it since 2001.

Here is one of three: “Situation” woo!
They should change this to EIGHTEEN PACK. Happy St. Patty’s Day! and Happy Bday to my older brother Justin! Have a drink (or twenty) for KLYAM.
Y’all punkers love Black Flag, right? Well you must check out Black Flag’s roadie, Mugger’s band, Nig Heist, which often opened for Black Flag in the 80s. Here’s a great interview from Vice with Mugger.

This band always reminds me of junior year of high school.
This is a little known gem of sorts from Wallpaper, a band that was at one point signed to K Records. “Shag Carpet” is a track from On The Chewing Gum Ground (2008, K Records). This song is interesting because it’s the perfect combination of Is This It era riffage and tougher/Australian-sounding punk. Recommended listening to those of all rock and roll backgrounds, whether you prefer early 2000s revival or some of the more recent surf/lo-fi/punk stuff.
This is fantastic news! 2012 appears to be the year of KLYAM faves hitting up Boston, and Atlanta greats, Gentlemen Jesse and His Men are one of those faves. Can’t wait to see them on May 14 at the Great Scott in Allston, MA.
