Punk Rock Hunt Talkers

"Still Punk AF," as you grab your chest, Milo.

Dang, Milo had a heart attack?

Caught my first whiff of tear gas at the age of 16 when the cops came to bust up some straightedge kids scrapping outside a Descendants show in Cincinnati.

About as pure a more melodic punk song as there has ever been, one of my top favorites.

Oh hell yeah. I was in junior & high school during the old Lookout Records milieu and saw a ton of those bands when they were on tour. Hung out in punk bars and went to DIY shows all through college and beyond. Even saw the Gorilla Biscuits play the very last show ever at CBGB. Have an ancient Black Flag tattoo or two. Still listen to a ton of stuff from the old CA/NY/DC scenes.

Loved being a part of that culture, and that it’s very much informed the person I am today.

Sadly, I’ve still never been to a show at 924 Gilman though.

The drummer for the Gorilla Biscuits is an acquaintance of mine. I too grew up on many of the punk bands of the 80's and 90's. Favorites included Dead Kennedy's, Operation Ivy, Minor Threat, Bad Religion... Fun stuff, but it does seem like we're more wired for that music as teenagers..

I found a vinyl copy of this album a while back, left the store with it, giddy like I was 14 again.

Never got into the discordance of that genre. Now I like plenty of chitty lyric'd trite, even angry songs with great melodies and musicianship. Bangin' on one note and yelling never appealed.

..banished along with the Boss

I must be a little miswired then!

One last thing before I back out of this rabbit hole for a bit.

Released 48 years ago today.

Need to know the opener and if you reccomend.

Need to know the opener and if you reccomend.

That also coincided with a phase in life where I was, ahem, consuming a lot of those “cabbage” salads. Which is to say, beats me who opened. Thanks to that cabbage I had no desire to scrap with straightedge bros.

Who let Hank Hill into the party?

I still toss on my Amazon "Pennywise music station" that enables, as best Amazon's AI can muster, similar music and it does pretty good!
Working in the garage or morning ritual S.S.S. deal...
No, it's not shoot, shovel, shut up.

I'd imagine it helps me get moving. Haha! My geriatric nurse would be happy with my bump of adrenaline.

For sheer commitment, Russian punk is some righteous work...or is it Riot'ous?
