Kona's dub punk rockers Pepper are in their home studio writing their new album, and now they have an iPhone app to update their fans of all the news that's fit to print. And probably some that's not, like what porn they have in the studio and where they do their laundry. 

Oh yeah and also go check out what they're calling the new album!

"There comes a time in his life when each and every man needs to express himself, and for Nathen Maxwell that time has come," is the opening line on the bio of Maxwell's new solo album. The Flogging Molly bass player has released his album White Rabbit, composed of  songs that he's "been wanting to do for a decade—and now just seemed like the right time to do it." Nathen just released the video to Working For The Man. Check it out.

The very alive Southern California punk rap band Hollywood Undead has a brand new CD/DVD set called Desperate Measures hitting shelves today.

And we have a few to give away to you!

Desperate Measures contains six unreleased songs, including covers of Motley Crue and the legendary Bay Area ska punk band Operation Ivy. And the DVD is made of a 60 minute performance the boys hosted on two summer nights this past one.

To win one of the copies of Desperate Measures be one of the first few to answer the following question correctly:

Q: Hollywood Undead signed their first record contract with this label, but left after the label tried to censor them. What label was it?

Do a little research! It's not that hard. Email your answers to theradreport[at]gmail.com.

Good luck friends.

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.

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.

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:
