Dipping into their earlier albums, we've selected Buck-O-Nine's "My Town," an energetic ska track from their 1997 release Twenty-Eight Teeth [The Orchard], to feature in the exciting documentary BoardHeads. BoardHeads zones in on the fascinating cultures of board riders from skateboarding and snowboarding to surfing, wake boarding, windsurfing and more. Find out how these ...
Jon Pebsworth has been known as " Pebs " since he was a kid, and it's this moniker he chose for his newest incarnation as a scratchy-voiced troubadour. As he shows on his debut album "Sweet Surrender" (out independently Sept. 20), it's a role he inhabits well — he has logged plenty of miles as vocalist for SoCal ska-punkers Buck-O-Nine (and plenty of hours behind a desk as publicist for SideOneDummy Records). His twangy and tangy Americana, made with an assist from ex-Royal Crown Revue guitarist James Achor, exhibits the authenticity of a man with plenty of stories, [...]
There are several things that most people associate with music bloggers; either we're super arrogant about our tastes, or just have loads of free time and connections. For the most part, I think people tend to put me in the first category, considering I have a full-time job that isn't this web site, but I feel like I always have to justify myself, proving I'm not a snob.

In an interview with Punks in Vegas, Buck-O-Nine vocalist Jon Pebsworth revealed that the band plans to write and record a new album this year: "We're going to start working on some songs in the next month or so.

And I live in LA, and the rest of the guys all [...]
What are you doing today? Me, I am painting a wall. Lost in thought I stumbled on an old Bad Religion track on my computer. This shortly snowballed into a newly formed iTunes playlist featuring some of my favourite punk(ish) songs from my youth. If you weren't really into this stuff back in the late 902s then give it a whirl. For those of you who were, enjoy the walk down memory lane. Free mp3: Bad Religion - Drunk Sincerity Free mp3: Face to [...]
The first post of the month features covers of every track on a famous album. Got an idea for a future pick? Leave a note in the comments! London Calling entered into the world in December 1979, but didn't make its stateside debut for another month. That makes 2010 the album's 30th Anniversary on this side of the pond. It's aged well. While many classic albums sound very much of their time -
