Music Makes Us

The Wild – A Collection

From Atlanta, GA, the WILD are a bunch of friends who love playing music and sharing in the DIY philosophy of music, art, and politics. This is what The WILD has to say about themselves… We are five friends having a great time playing music together… We all feel the best when we are traveling [...]

Kepi Ghoulie – American Gothic

Kepi was the bassist and vocalist for Sacramento, California based pop-punk band the Groovie Ghoulies. He has been recording and touring both with a full band and as an acoustic soloist since the Ghoulies’ break-up in mid 2007. If you ever get a chance to see him play live, do it. Great music, great stories, [...]

Dropkick Murphys – The Warrior’s Code

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, so what better music to put on than a good version of Flogging Molly. This is probably the best album of one of my favorite east coast punk bands. Dropkick Murphys are a celtic punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States in 1996. First playing together in the basement [...]

Satanic Surfers – 666 Motor Inn

I have been swamped with work, so I can only leave you with a 90s skate punk album. Pretty awesome, just not new.  Combining strong melodies and fast paced punk with both personal and political lyrics, the band soon reached audiences all over the world. Early influences include bands such as SNFU, RKL and The [...]

Dillinger Four – Midwestern Songs Of The Americas

I guess this is a two for Tuesday. When you think Minneapolis punk, this is the band that should come to mind. If you like them, check out the band Off with Their heads, another Minneapolis band. Dillinger Four is a punk rock band formed in 1994 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They have released four full-length [...]

The Flatliners – The Great Awake

The second song on this album is awesome, so if you haven’t listened to The Flatliners before give that song a chance first. Unfortunaetly they don’t have anything knew out, but they have a few older albums if you start to get into them. “What do you do when doing what you love gets you [...]

The Undertones – The Undertones

Here is an awesome old school punk band. Very similar feeling to listening to The Clash/Ramones. I figure not enough people are familiar with this band, and even if they are, it is definitely worth giving it another listen. I will be posting some new indie bands for my next post, but I have just [...]

Blink-182 – Cheshire Cat

Blink-182 is a popular pop punk band from Poway, California formed in 1992 by Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Scott Raynor. In 1998, Raynor was replaced by Travis Barker, and in early 2005 DeLonge left the group, initiating an indefinite hiatus.
