Taking a nostalgic trip back to my salad days with some really old favorites along with some newer jams on this mix. Let go of your pretensions, roll your windows down and turn it up. It's a punk rock summer!

When most people think of female fronted punk rock, one of the first bands that come to mind is Tsunami Bomb. I had the pleasure of seeing them once open for the Bouncing Souls and Strike Anywhere (actually on their guest list from a contest I won at punknews like... 7 years ago), and they are one of the few bands who can capture the energy of their live show on album.The Invasion From
The music world needs more girls. How often have you been to a punk gig and been surrounded by blokes? Or even worse, a drum n bass night? The crowd at these events frequently resembles a sea of baseball caps. It would be nice to have a bit of balance. Why is it that girls don't go out to hear music? Or if they do, why is it funky house nights? Or club cheese? Tell me I'm wrong if you like, but this is my experience. Maybe it's just the moodier, some might say aggressive, styles. Unfortunately, [...]
THE ACTION DESIGN - BLOOD BATH Regular readers of Cannibal Cheerleader will be familiar with one of our favorite acts the Action Design who played our inaugural Blood Bath SXSW day party a week ago. The band rocketed through a seven song set of classics, even throwing in a Misfits cover for good measure! Seriously, this group bleeds cool in classic style and got the whole of the Peacock dancing in fine form. This group has come a long way since Tsunami Bomb and because of that we feel they'll [...]
The talent oozing from the South Bay Area music scene right now in undeniably amazing. This Wednesday's show at the Bottom of the Hill is proof of that. The Good Hustle 's mix of bombastic goofball gypsy rock alone is enough to convince anyone to attend this show. But if that's not enough, maybe the spacey Ambience or the Charles Mingus inspired jazz outfit Panthelion will convince you to get off your ass and make your way to the Bottom of [...]
You may know her better as " Agent M " from the modern legendary punk outfit Tsunami Bomb , but Emily Whitehurst hasn't slowed down despite the demise of her first act in 2005. Fellow ex-Tsunami Bomber Matt Mckenzie joined Whitehurst in the 2006 creation of The Action Design, which nods to the pair's punk rock roots but infuses hooky bass lines and powerful rhythms to create a catchy dance rock sound. Editor in Chief Jessica caught up with Emily prior to the Philadelphia leg of their national tour with friends Killola [...]
Recently touring with fellow Californians Killola , The Action Design stopped in Philadelphia not long ago. Killola kicked off the show with a high energy set led by hyper energetic and dynamic front woman Lisa Rieffel . The crowd, gathered in front of the stage thrashing about, loved them. Killola reminded me of a "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" Cyndi Lauper on speed. They killed at Millcreek, but totally need a TLA sized venue to properly rock the fuck out. You can download their album for free at their MySpace page . [...]
THE ACTION DESIGN LIVE IN AUSTIN In what will probably go down as one of our favorite punk shows of the year, the Action Design , starring M formerly of one of our favorite bands of all time Tsunami Bomb , brought their powerful brand of pop-punk to an excited Red 7 audience who thrilled at seeing the gang in fine form. Whipping through a set that included four tracks from their Into a Sound EP and another seven from Never Say , the band rocketed between [...]
INTERVIEW WITH THE ACTION DESIGN So for a myriad of reasons, including but not limited to transportation issues and the Republican National Convention being cut short due to Hurricane Gustav, the Cannibal Cheerleader crew did not manage to make it up to Minnesota to film the protests. The good news however is this week will feature the same regular updates you all know and love, starting with an interview we were really honored to conduct with one of our favorite bands of the year the Action Design . TAD is of [...]
