I'm going to be straight up, ever since Caseracer sent me their Self Titled debut EP, I've been listening to it nonstop. Six melodic hardcore songs clocking in around 11 minutes, Caseracer knows damn well how to write a catchy tune. Hailing from New Jersey and Delaware, their EP features everything you'd come to expect from a band that lists Kid Dynamite and Latterman as influences: catchy hooks, plenty of two stepping opportunities (fuck you, I dance in my bedroom all the time), and shit tons of sing-along. Maybe it's my Jersey roots shining through, but [...]
Static Radio NJ have released a brand new EP.
Static Radio NJ have released a brand new track for your listening pleasure.
Last night, I headed to the place where dreams come true (a basement in Philly) to catch Static Radio NJ and One Win Choice. The place had a solid turnout for a random Sunday Funday house show, and the small basement felt packed with the 30 or so kids there. This Is Jazz I caught these guys back in February at The Ox open for The Menzingers, and they've improved quite a bit since. They
On Friday, I rushed out to a random West Philly house straight from work to catch the One Win Choice record release show which featured an incredibly stellar line-up. Afraid I was going to be late, I made it there with plenty of time to spare... thank you punk rock time.Lighten UpOk, anyone who reads this blog should know that Philly's Lighten Up has become one of my favorite bands, and I

Holy shit. Tonight, I went to not one show, not three shows... not even four fucking shows, but two! Two different shows making this an incredibly punk rock Saturday night. The first show that I headed out to was at Philly's Barbary, and I love all the bands that played.Static Radio NJFuck, I don't know what it is, but every time I try to see these guys, I always wind up showing up late

I've been a fan of Static Radio NJ since I heard their first EP a few years ago "One For The Good Guys". So when I found out they were playing a my friend's house "The Terrordome", and it's been exactly a year since I've last seen them, I was obviously going to be there.Static Radio NJ:Of course, that doesn't mean I'll be there on time. I thought that Static Radio NJ would be going on last, but
My new daughter, Teagan Reese, was born a week ago today and that day also happened to be exactly 4 years from my first post on this blog. During the 4 years that CYSTSFTS has been in existence, I've made my affinity for pop punk no secret. It's the music I grew up listening to and the music that keeps me young at heart. There are many different definitions of what exactly pop punk is and with this series of 30 or so posts I'll do my best to broadly define (in MP3's) [...]

The scene in NJ is popping with some clueless MSM press and heavy hitters like Thursday still making the rounds and more recently The Gaslight Anthem. Static Radio NJ wear their Jersey roots on their sleeves in a good way reveling in some straight-up punk madness with some rowdy vocals and the musical intensity to match. Their latest album, An Evening of Bad Decisions is out now on vinyl from Black Numbers and is worth the pick-up at the next show. Also showing up with them is No Harm Done . Here's [...]

Wow, I don't know what's been going on lately, but I've been suffering from insomnia like crazy. I think it has to do with the cold weather, getting darker earlier, and the fact that I haven't been outside to exercise since it's cold and dark. Whiskey would probably help me pass out reaaaal quick, too bad I don't drink. So I guess that leaves me with one tried and true Housewives cure: make
Okay. I thought I had written a review of this record months ago but in searching the site archives totally realized that I never did. very strange since I actually remember writing it. I'm totally losing it. Anyhow, this record, An Evening Of Bad Decisions , from Static Radio NJ , is a damn fine melodic punk rock record. From the get go, An Evening Of Bad Decisions is anchored by buzzing razor-wire guitars, furious drumming, and vocals that make my throat hurt just listening, which all gives way to catchy melodies and [...]
Figures. Two bands that I like are playing on the same day. I could either see Smoke or Fire, or Star Fucking Hipsters. On account I like Smoke or Fire better, and that Static Radio was also on the bill, I opted for Smoke or Fire. I think I made the right choice. First thing I noticed about the Fire (the unassuming dive in North Philly) was how god damn tiny the place was. Seriously. Put 50
