Every Friday and Saturday I do what I call an #OPSThrowdown.

Today's theme was "Rock Ain't Dead" + includes videos from Destruction Unit, Greys, La Misma, and Hallelujah The Hills.

Enjoy!

The One Where I Endorse Most Of Rolling Stone's Modern Punk List (sigh)

I love that Rolling Stone is encouraging people to explore more punk music. I even endorse many of the entries on their recent "10 Modern Punk Bands" list.

Here are links to many of those artists and several more that I recommend you check out too.

As always, Explore, Discover, and Enjoy!

LA Weekly's Punk Rock Fantasy
LA Weekly's Punk Rock Fantasy

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Ramones album Ramones and also the rise of punk rock in London. Unfortunately, this has caused the punk rock haters to come out of the woodwork to mock punk rock's ultimate impact on music as a whole.

One of these punk rock "hater" articles  was published by LA Weekly, this is my response to that and most of the others.
