Success Radio Recovery Success are sort of refreshing simply for playing a strain of jubilant, up-tempo pop-punk that’s heavily in the vein of Less Than Jake circa Hello Rockview and Borders & Boundaries, minus the horns (especially on cuts like “Believe In” and “Mr. Know It All”). That’s because it’s a sound not many bands […]

The Brokedowns Life Is A Breeze Ever since it went mainstream, there’s often been a disconnect between punk the music and punk the lifestyle.

When it's done with sincerity, the music can pack just as much of a punch […]

When we premiered “Buried Alive” from Direct Hit!'s new album Brainless God way back in August, they teased that the story of their album would have a video saga to follow. Today, we bring you its eighth chapter set to the song “Bank Of Elevators.”  To catch you up, it's the end of the world and our heroine […]

Direct Hit! Brainless God Concept albums are usually either the territory of prog-metal bands or some dude having a mid-career crisis. So when it was announced that Milwaukee pop-punkers Direct Hit! were serving up a concept album for their Red Scare debut, the details which seem to involve religion, serial killers, the apocalypse and who […]

Druglords Of The Avenues New Drugs When Swingin’ Utters first started cranking out records in the early ’90s, they were the kind of band you could imagine running across in some crappy warehouse or punk-rock pub.
