Sunshine State Pour It’s unfortunate that most of the attention put on Sunshine State, will be surrounding drummer Warren Oakes’ former tenure with Against Me! (see, there we go again). The drummer-turned-restaurant owner made the difficult choice of leaving the popular punk band six years ago, but his new musical outlet is interesting enough to make at least some people forgot about Oakes’ former

Post Teens describe old-school-punk-influenced "Mexican Painkillers," one of their two contributions to their upcoming No Idea split 7-inch with Big Eyes, as "the closest we've ever gotten to writing a love song," but ultimately, vocalist Tony Marquez says, " another 90 second song about being wasted." Stream the song belo ...

Creepoid Wet EP Surely holding the title of "strangest band to ever be paired with No Idea Records," Philadelphia's Creepoid have more in common with slack shoegaze bands or '90s alt/slowcore than anything resembling punk, as anyone who has heard their two full-lengths realizes. Ties t ...

Creepoid Creepoid The second album from Philadelphia-based outfit Creepoid has something for time-machine travelers into unknown singer/songwriters from the late ’60s, ’90s alt-rock amp-abusers and other contemporary consumers of cough syrup. While all ...

Mustard Plug Can't Contain It Michigan's long-running Mustard Plug are one of the best out there at combining high-energy ska with melodic pop-punk, but it's been a long time since they've put out a full-length. Luckily, the landscape of high-energy ska/melodic pop-punk isn't the most amorphous, so they still fit in just fine at the top of the heap. Maybe it's som ...

A Wilhelm Scream Partycrasher It's been six years since A Wilhelm Scream last graced the punk scene with a proper full-length of their expertly crafted, technically able, wisecracking style that nails that hidden sweet spot between grizzled skatepunk and melodic hardcore. He ...

For A Wilhelm Scream, the recording process of their new album Partycrasher was a long and blurred one consisting of several studio changes (demolition, rebuilding and subsequent remodeling) with tours and additional writing between, but the end result, they feel, is very true to who they are. “T ...

A Wilhelm Scream are streaming "Born A Wise Man" from Partycrasher, their new album due out November 5 on No Idea Records. Pre-orders are available from the label. Track Listing: 1. Boat Builders 2. The Last Laugh 3. Devil Don't Know 4. Number One 5 ...

Paint It Black Invisible EP Invisible marks the first batch of Paint It Black material in nearly four years, a six-song EP that may appear frustratingly abbreviated, but is actually viewed as a complete release by the band. (Savor it, because as frontman Dan Yemin recently told Brooklyn Vegan, "the album is a dead format" to them ...

With the explosion in file-sharing on the internet and the incremental obsolescence of the CD, traditional models for purchasing music have been hit hard in the last decade. But for years, a steadfast dedication to buying music the old-fashioned way—on vinyl and cassettes—has helped indie-music labels stay afloat. A recent c ...

Chris Wollard And The Ship Thieves Canyons This review originally ran in AP 293. 2012 has already brought us the triumphant return of Hot Water Music with the awesome Exister, so the fact that we’re getting a new full-length from HWM guitarist/vocalist Chris Wollard’s side project is just icing on the PBR cake. (It’s a re ...

Hot Water Music have announced that they will release a live album, Live In Chicago, with their former label No Idea Records on January 15. The album will be printed on limited edition vinyl, released as a CD and DVD package and available for digital digital download ...

Grabass Charlestons Dale & The Careeners More than a deecade into the career of veteran punks Grabass Charlestons, who would have expected the band to undergo such a noticeable stylistic transformation? Where the Gainesville, Florida, act used to boast a sometimes forgettable but occasionally spirited punk sound often likened to Dillinger Four or a speedier Leatherface, their third full-leng

Worn In Red Banshees Worn In Red have been one of the Southeast region's best-kept secrets of the last few years. Perhaps it's because they only tour a few months out of the year, but nonetheless, they've been churning out brash, moody punk with post-hardcore angularity, emotional hardcore aggression and melodic restraint since 2007. While thei ...
