Punk/hardcore outfit Scatterbox recently held a benefit for a new food bank in Couer d’Alene. Unfortunately, the benefit turned a little… ugly.
On November 9th, 2007 Scatterbox played through several songs of their set, but were abruptly cut off when the bar’s owner shut down the power due to fans breaking things and making a mess.
Once the power was cut, a bit of chaos ensued with Scatterboxe’s lead vocalist Tom White instigating an argument with the bar’s owner. Chaos ensued, and the police were called. The band was thisclose to getting arrested, but the cops decided not to press charges.
Pretty crazy, …read more

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding NOFX and their upcoming live record They’ve Actually Gotten Worse Live. I’m super excited about it.

The label believes the record will be released sometime in 2008, though a firm release date has yet to be announced.

Until then, stay true.

I do believe I’ve found a new favorite band to be addicted to!
The Long Island quartet Anxious Arms has just posted three new tracks on their Myspace page. I think “An American Pastime” is my favorite so far, but you can make your own call. The lyrics just seem to hit home for me:
“Concentrating on the words that come out of my mouth is easier said than done.
Concentrating on the words that come out of my mouth, isn’t easy, but hey, I can do it by myself.
Wondering how I got this far without getting far at all.

I ran across an interesting news tidbit today.
Plans are in the works to create a fictional movie following a DIY (Do it Yourself) punk-pop band in the 1980’s called The Renegades.
The film, entitled “Let It Be” will attempt to show what the underground music scene was like in New York during this time period, and they’ve established that The Black Lips will star as the movie’s protagonists.
You can read more about “Let It Be” here.
