News in Punk

In an interesting multimedia documentary of punk rock, Time Magazine has chronicled the “30th Anniversary of Punk” in an amazing photo/video montage of the front-runners of punk rock, including The Clash and The Sex Pistols, among others.
If you’ve got a little time to kill, I strongly recommend you check the video out. It’s brief, but still manages to cover most of the important acts that created the punk rock movement.
Seriously, what are you waiting for! Check it out here. Let me know what you think!

If you’re into the whole pop-punk thing, then you definitely want to check out Epitaph’s recent signing, Farewell.
They just posted a new track off their upcoming album for the label, entitled “First One On The Blog.”
I have to admit, they are undeniably catchy. Watch for their record Isn’t This Supposed to be Fun?, due out September 25th, 2007.
Until then, check out Farewell’s new track on their Myspace page.

Ah, man. It seems like last week flew by. I wasn’t able to give you your weekly music fix last week unfortunately (tear), so I’ll try to make up for that this week and give you several new songs to listen to! Hell yeah.
This week, you can check out the latest track from Teenage Rehab, “White Ghetto.” It’ll be on their forthcoming split release with Moral Crux and released via Jailhouse Records. Hopefully, before the year runs out!
