Germany's pop punk STORYTELLER released a new video


Pop Punk is definitely not dead, not as of now and surely not in the very near future either...do you agree?

STORYTELLER just released a new music video for their song "Consequences", taken from their brand new album "Problems Solved", released on Let It Burn records last September 16th, 2016.
The album, their third outing, counting the debut EP and first full-length both dated 2013, was recorded at the Sawdust Recording Studios by Christoph and Peter.
The amazing artwork is by Chris Brodily / Hatrobot.com.
The record contains 11 late-summer bangers that hit the pop punk spot without bullshitting around and the 5 boys from Dessau, Germany seriously stepped their game up with this new release. Through extensive touring and playing shows & fests all over the country the band has reached the next level as musicians, without sounding too grown up on "Problems Solved".
Summer posi vibes are guaranteed!

NERVUS get well spooky and cover a bunch of spooky songs

NERVUS is a Watford based indie-punk rock band that sounds like the wonderful amalgamation of
Alkaline Trio and Into It. Over It.. Nervus started as a bedroom project and saw guitarist/vocalist Em create and write music to help cope overcoming addictions in various different forms as well as working through their own gender identity.

Nervus' LP "Permanent Rainbow" comes out next Friday and because it's the spookiest time of the year they've only gone and done a Halloween covers record called Permanent Painbow. Featuring such spooky bangers as "Over At The Frankenstein Place from The Rocky Horror Picture Show", Obituary's "Chopped In Half" and Entombed/Roky Erikson's "Night Of The Vampires".

GUTTERMOUTH interview

by marcs77

Do you remember of So Cal, Huntington Beach resident, punk rockers GUTTERMOUTH? You definitely should because the band has been around quite a long time now –’88 early 90’s but perhaps you’re just too young and the name doesn’t say you that much as it actually does for the generation who was in their teens in the 90’s.
After 10 years since their last full-length release the guys are back with an EP doppietta; the first EP “Got It Made” was release last July and the second one, to be titled “New Car Smell”, is scheduled to drop on November 25th 2016 –both records are out through Bird Attack Records and Rude Records.
Years passed by, line-ups changed but Guttermouth didn’t lose any inches of their irreverence, sarcasm, wittiness and are still here to keep old punk rock spirit alive and kicking.

GAB DE LA VEGA launches a Bandcamp campaign to help the population of Haiti

Punk is always more than music, even when it's acoustic!
Italian punk-folk singer-songwriter Gab De La Vega has just launched a Bandcamp campaign to raiseawareness and funds for One Hundred For Haiti, a non-profit organization working to help the population of the Carribbean recently hit by Hurricane Matthew.

Here's his statement:

"Hey friends, this is very important. I guess many of you have seen the terrible pictures coming from Haiti in these weeks.
Hurricane Matthew hit this country very hard. Haiti is already struggling because of poverty and the consequences of an earthquake that happened in 2010.
People are in need of clean and drinkable water, shelter, food, medical assistance, and everything that is basic not just to live, but to survive.

Will GREEN DAY be still around in 20+ years like Rolling Stones?

A few days ago, while driving, I heard from the radio that GREEN DAY were releasing a new album "Revolution Radio", their twelfth, on Oct. the 7th and the band is booked to play four gigs in Italy, the last of them being hosted at Mediulanum Forum in Milano on Jan. the 14th 2017.
This "breaking news", kind of, hehe..., got two thoughts coming up in my mind; the first one, that led myself down memory lane when back in September 1995 (the date should be Sept. the 15th) I went with a bunch of friends to see Green Day in Milano in the same venue, a sport arena, then simply called Forum. It wasn't a long show, they played for less than one hour, and the stage was looking definitely too big for these Californian punks, freshly rocketed into rock stardom, after the release of groundbreaking "Dookie", but, you know, being myself pretty young and being Green Day a band I dug a lot at the time I'd enjoyed this show alot and walked out of the venue feeling like I had just attended something I would be reminishing about over the years -yet I would never ever thought to be writing about it 21 years later either.
