The Vandon Arms are Frickin’ Rad

The Vandon Arms are Frickin’ Rad

Since discovering The Vandon Arms, I can’t stop listening to them. Their music has an infectious kick you just can’t get out of your head; if you like Flogging Molly, you’ll love this Irish punk group.
Why I haven’t discovered them before now I don’t know, but according to their Punx.com profile, the four-piece has shared the stage with such great acts as The Unseen, Reel Big Fish, Agent Orange and more.
Seriously, what are you waiting for? Get thee to their profile and rock out. They’ve got some AWESOME music (I recommend The Righteous Fight and The Boys Back Home), and …read more

New Track from Reggie And The Full Effect

New Track from Reggie And The Full Effect

Seriously, if you don’t want to have music stuck in your head all day, do NOT listen to the latest offering from Reggie And The Full Effect.
Actually, listen to it anyway – but you’ve been warned, it WILL get stuck in your head!
The latest track “J Train” will appear on Reggie And The Full Effect’s upcoming album, “Last Stop: Crappytown.” It’s catchy, it’s punk-ish, it’s pretty much the perfect start to your day.
Of course, don’t take my word for it. Listen to the new track, as well as other tunes here.
