>> We saw The Hush Now 's final show of the year Wednesday night and the quintet continues to be among the most formidable of Boston bands. We've been holding onto the fivesome's latest holiday jam "On Holiday" because, well, we're trying to hold the line against holiday creep. But now that Thanksgiving is over and done, it is time to confront the sounds of the season. The Hush Now 's aforementioned, bossa nova romp approaches irresistible, and we've had the one-song CD-R on repeat in the car for days. "On Holiday" is an uptempo confection [...]
A true punk Renaissance man with an unrelenting DIY work ethic, J Church frontman Lance Hahn may never have achieved wealth and widespread fame, but his passing in 2007 robbed the world of one of the most prolific and dedicated punk rockers of the last 20 years.
"My goal would be someday to get a Leroy Neiman painting of myself, and hang it at the steakhouse I will have bought by then." -- Tom, wishing for some semi-abstract dining room decor "I don't think I've read any Mark Twain since I was in school, but I have read four Henry Rollins tour diaries since then. I've read 1,000 pages of Henry Rollins." -- Tom, getting in the van instead of boarding the raft "What's the guy doing a roast? What is he, Lisa Lampanelli? Roasting the [...]

I was having a near perfect day, wasting an afternoon watching a friend and his band rip through a set of great tunes for a small audience at a local radio station studio showcase gig. Outside the sky was crystal clear, and the sun was shining over... visit for more mp3's & random revelations
The message board buzz is that the extended illness that has plagued J Church fronter Lance Hahn for years has finally taken his life. J Church 's 1995 compilation record Nostalgic For Nothing is our favorite J Church record, filled as it is with pop-punk hit after pop-punk hit after pop-punk hit and a bunch of excellent covers. We played it ad nauseum during our college radio days. Here's the title track. Indie music has lost an amazing songwriter. Lance, you're the pawn and you're the king... J Church -- [...]
S o I thought it would be nice to honor a few requests with this post. Some Lanemeyer, J Church, and more. My daughter's temporary tattoo has been on for over a week now and shows no signs of coming off (well, maybe just a little). I think she's gonna be a punk fan as well. Keep your requests coming. Nine down, one to go. MP3 | Sludgeworth - Only One MP3 | [...]
>> A recent post at Rainbow Quartz states that Philadelphia-based power pop geniuses The Get Quick have turned in to the label the follow up to 2005's How The Story Goes (not, uh, And The Story Goes , Rainbow Quartz...). No word on a release date for the new set yet, but we've sent an email off to the lads in the band -- which features Erik Evol and Mitch Joy formerly of MantaRay -- to see what else they can tell us. Bandleader Evol was once rumored to have a [...]
(AFI @ Berkeley Square in 1996; photo by Chris Bellew ) Growing up in the SF/Berkeley punk scene, I always heard about the mystique of '77 and the year punk rock was born. I wasn't around for the birth of punk, but I was around for the mid '90s punk revival. And as time has passed, I've grown to think of '94 in the way I used to hear about '77. What I loved about punk rock was that every band played with a sense of purpose. Every show at Gilman Street/Berkeley Square - [...]
Occasionally we like to lock ourselves in the record room at YuppiePunk World HQ, dump out an entire shelf of CDs, pop them from their jewel cases and rub their hard, shiny plastic all over our hairy body . What's the point of telling you this? We have no idea, we just needed an intro. But now that that's out of the way, please enjoy some selections from our record collection, this time we're joyously jamming to the jivin' jams of the letter J. [...]
Part 3 is here. I can't believe how much of a bitchslap I got for leaving out some great bands but I am sure I deserved it. haha. If I was to do it over, I would surely include Bad Brains, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion and Black Flag. Hope you like these... Thanks for all the K suggestions. I figured I would do something a bit more obscure. I: Ignition - Rebuilding J: J Church - Tightrope K: Killjoys - [...]
