20 Songs Named After The Bands That Played Them

Jan 19, 11:46am Stereogum

Self-titled albums are one thing. But when a band names one of its songs after itself - or, alternately, when a band names itself after one of its songs - it's a pretty big deal. The song itself comes off looking something like a mission statement, an encapsulation of everything that the band means. When Bad Company names a song "Bad Company," they want you to know that this song is what they're all about . Not too many bands have been brave enough to attempt this trick throughout history. For some reason, a lot of [...]

List 'Em Carefully: The Top 15 Cult Acts

Nov 30, 2011, 12:52pm Consequence Of Sound

The fans, the fans, the fans. It's who all bands take the time to acknowledge. At concerts, artists will always shout out partially histrionic statements like, "We couldn't do this without you...the fans!" And as a result, every fan's devotion soars through the roof (if not eternally). It's somewhat silly, though, not to realize that the fans do make everything possible. People like bands, so they buy their records, see their shows, sometimes blog about them (hey there), "Like" their Facebook pages, live chat with them on Twitter, and on super-rare occasions, even get to meet them . It's [...]

Alderman Moreno to host punk rock karaoke event

Oct 18, 2011, 1:58pm loudloop

Proco "Joe" Moreno will host the next Punk Rock Karaoke sing-along at Quencher's Saloon (2401 N. Western Ave.) on Friday, November 4.

The Ten Best Indie Rock Songs Under 2 Minutes

Oct 17, 2011, 10:56am Stereogum

Time is a valuable thing, and the musicians who can make a quick point in a short amount of time deserve their props. We've put together a quick list of ten excellent songs from indie's past (and from a few associated genres), all of which end in 120 seconds or less. These tracks throw their shit on the table right away, drive their points home as fast as possible, and end quickly enough that they're still rattling around in your head long after the next track has already started. The best part: You can listen to the whole playlist in [...]

Black Flag - Loose Nut (For fans of Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Adolescents)

Oct 12, 2011, 12:58pm Battle of the Midwestern Housewives

I love Black Flag, but I will admit, there is a bunch of albums of theirs I just simply can't get into. Sure, everyone loves Damaged and The First Four Years, but it seems like people are pretty divided I just can't get into their gloomy, Black Sabbath experimental era ("My War"). In 1985 Black Flag released "Loose Nut", and while it wasn't exactly a return to form to their earlier days, it

Black Flag - Damaged (For fans of Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains)

As of late, I have been listening to Black Flag's "Damaged" nonstop everywhere I go. Car ride, shower, writing posts... Damaged is there with me. With Black Flag often being considered the most important hardcore band ever, and Damaged usually considered their most important release, chances are if you listen to punk rock, you listen to a band that was directly or indirectly influenced by

Our Band Could Be Your Life Tribute @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 5/22/11

May 23, 2011, 10:01am Stereogum

It's ten years since Michael Azerrad first published his defining DIY '80s scene portrait Our Band Could Be Your Life , which covered an independent music culture that changed irrevocably a decade before that with the release of Nevermind . Round anniversaries make apt opportunities for retrospectives, and in the case of Our Band , this year has been a sort of meta-reflection: between a panel at SXSW, and last night's show at Bowery Ballroom, 2011 has seen a few organized moments of the present "indie" culture celebrating and reflecting on how the blueprint Michael [...]

Government Warning - No Moderation (For fans of Minor Threat, MDC, Clit 45)

Apr 20, 2011, 11:30am Battle of the Midwestern Housewives

Give Government Warning's "No Moderation" one listen, and you'd swear that the Richmond, VA released this gem during the height of the 80s 'Reagan era' of hardcore punk, not 2006. Their first official LP, "No Moderation" is one fuck of a ride.Just like true 80s hardcore releases, you're not going to find any bullshit: no polished sound, no overly complex riffs, just good ole' fashioned

[Introducing] – The Barettas

Feb 19, 2011, 9:00am Listen Before You Buy

When you're in a band with an average age of 22 you might expect to have a little energy. If that band is made up of 3 women straight out of a decaying and gritty steeltown like Hamilton, Ontario, then the energy goes up. If one of the band members travels daily into the wealthier surrounding cities as part of a house-cleaning crew (it pays for the gas for the next gig) then you can put that energy into overdrive. Add plenty of attitude to that and you're left with The Barettas. Formed in 2008, Kate Kimberley (Bass), [...]
