Somewhere between Crucial Dudes and Lifetime the youngins from Bad Planning found a place in my heart. This Chicagoland four-piece crank out 8 tracks of melodic hardcore and pop-punk that feels years beyond their age, but altogether sincere and energetic. Super posi and a lot of fun, sometime that’s been lost in the Soundcloud era of super immediate music and YouTube music super stars. For real, I just watched Awkwafina’s My Vag video for the first time last week.

Long-running Southern California punks Pulley, will release their new studio album “The Golden Life” on May 13, 2022 via SBÄM Records (pre-save). The first single "Golden Life" is now streaming everywhere along with a lyric video (animated by Roland Pilz).

Just last month Young Guv (aka songwriter Ben Cook) released his latest album, GUV III, and today the ever-prolific musician is already back to announce its sequel, GUV IV, due out June 24th from Run For Cover Records and Hand Drawn Dracula (Canada).

NY pop punks With The Punches have signed with Chicago-based Mutant League Records and will release a new EP "Discontent" on May 27, 2022. The band has also dropped the first single "Stoneham Blues" offering fans a taste of what's to come.

No Trigger is back and the "Acid Lord EP" is their ripping salute to Antifascism, recreational drugs, and good old-fashioned hatin' on god. This 5-song teaser EP is just a taste of what's to come from their forthcoming full length, "Dr. Album", out later this year. Consider it the tailgate party before the Super Bowl of punk. The handbill you got from that weirdo outside the weed shop that recruited you for the riots. The, uhhh, microdose before you hike up the Swiss Alps. It’s melodic hardcore with bits of ska-punk and anthemic rock. The perfect combo of music meets message.

“We heard you!” - that’s the message from Max Creeps following worldwide vigils, an endless array of tributes and a viral movement across social media.

“We are elated to announce to our billions of fans that Max Creeps have reunited,” PC Bullshit shared with the dozens of fans camped outside of the band’s studio, as he and Max Blastic triumphantly emerged hand-in-hand.
