When I wrote for a different punk music site (before I was lucky enough to get this gig – whooo hoo!), I had the opportunity to review The Dollyrots album “Because I’m Awesome.” Full of pop-punk goodness, it was a decent album – but afterwards, The Dollyrots sort of dropped off my radar.
Well, now I hear they’re planning a few summer tour dates, INCLUDING several appearances at Warped Tour.
For a partial listing of tour dates, click “Read More.”
What do you think about The Dollyrots, anyway? Love them? Hate them? Ever heard of them…? Drop me a line and leave me …read more

In an effort to create a robotic version of his younger self, Warman created the robots to be controlled by a neural network. This means the robots can actually learn, so Warman has apparently been playing classic punk music to the robots in an …read more

In an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman plans to make a strong effort to “go green.”

Recycle, Reduce, Reuse will be a popular theme for the long-running tour this year; additionally, the tour has switched to using biodiesel fuels for large vehicles and a solar-powered stage and Warped Eco tent.
If fans really want to help out, they will be encouraged to make use of the recycling …read more

Recently, I reviewed Jonny Dongel’s album “A Fifth of Nowhere.” Of every song on the album, “Sorry Simon” was the track that drew me in first, and kept me hooked until the end of the album.
Much to my pleasant surprise, I discovered that “Sorry Simon” had a music video! It’s interesting – and definitely worth a look.
Check out the video below and let me know what you think!
Stay true,
