One of most interesting breakout artists of 2009 is Frank Turner. His lyrics are smart and his music is good. It's a good sign when you are pushed into thought, and want to raise a pint at the same time, don't ya reckon? The British folk singer just released a new video for his song 'Poetry Of The Deed,' off the album by the same name. Enjoy.
The Pogues are currently touring around the West Coast. Tonight (10/14) the Scottish punks are playing in SF, before moving down the Pacific Highway for a couple shows in Southern California.
Here's Shane and crew getting through a rendition of The Irish Rover on the night they kicked off the tour - Oct. 10 in Seattle.
"Best intentions get misunderstood, but that motherf-cker is up to no good."
We all know that guy. Rancid has just released their new video for the punk rock song Up To No Good off their latest album Let The Dominoes Fall. This video features a cameo by Tony Hawk pulling some moves on a mini-ramp.
Rancid is scheduled to play Tony's Stand Up For Skateparks event in Las Vegas on Nov 7th. Last weekend the first SUFS party of 2009 was held in Beverly Hills and Blink-182 performed. You can see a video of that performance here.
Where were you last weekend? How about at this backyard BBQ that Blink-182 played. Check out the video of them playing What's My Age Again, shot by the one and only Fred Durst. Wait is that Tom Green standing right there. Event was the Stand Up For Skateparks charity event. Tony Hawk busted out the 900 again on the vert ramp. Check that one out here.
Pretty sure Mark forgot the words on that one to. See comments.
Yeah, they’ll probably get married to a Black Flag song or something like that. I feel like you can take the boy out of punk rock, but you can’t take punk rock out of the boy.
- Frank Turneron how punk rock will always be a part of your life if you're into that scene.
Lives Of The Artists is a new three part film coming out this October that features snowboarding, surfing, and music. The film shows you a bit of the lives of the people who push the limits in what they do. U.K. punk rock band Gallows was followed on the Warped Tour this last summer. Take a look at the trailer you might find yourself in the pit.
Skateboard and punk music all-star Duane Peters is also an ac-tor. The Gunfight singer is starring in an upcoming film about drugs and hookers called Hostility Hotel. Shot on location in Dallas, TX., production company Fringe Media describes it as "a really f--ked up punk rock junkie film." Here's the trailer:
San Francisco classic punk band Nothington has posted three new songs on their MySpace. Fan of rad California punk listen up. 'Best For Me' is a great one.
Did The All-American Rejects hack Blink-182's MySpace page right now, or is 'guy at record label whose job it is to update MySpace pages' not doing that very well at the moment. Maybe MySpace is just making a funny. Either way, Blink-182's MySpace page has been swapped with the Rejects. "Myspace.com/blink182"looks like this.
Update: looks like they're in the process of fixing it. Good thing we got that screen shot.
Handsome Randsome Productions, the production company producing Blink-182's upcoming documentary titled The Blinkumentary, has posted a bunch of killer photos from the tour to their Twitter account. Most of the photos are from the Irvine show. Be sure to go check 'em out on the Twit.
