Punkeye creek invasion!!!

First up is a fun video from the Portland band The Chemicals. 

Here is an awesome video of the hardcore punk band Gag Reflex. Playing someplace in Canada.

Killer hardcore band ACxDC. These guys are out of Arizona and rage pretty hard. 

Up next is a great track from Big Eyes. Came out on a single a number of years back. Check it out!

Cool song by the band Nu Pogodi. I really don't know much about this band and I have no idea where they are from but I like song and video. I do know that the footage and pictures are from their East Coast tour in 2013. 

Awesome video of the brutal Japanese crust band Age. They toured with Hellshock a few years band and were amazing live. This is a multi-cam video with decent sound quality. 

Here is a cool video from the Canadian band White Lung. The song is one of my favorite by them because it has a really dark flavor to it. 

Again I am late to the game and when this video came out it was my first time hearing Connoisseur and boy was I missing out! This is easily one of my favorite new bands. They are heavy and witty at the same time. They have a lot of emphasis on weed which bores me usually but not with these guys. They have another video out that is equally as cool and you should most definitely search out their records and buy them.

Hard Left are a new Oi outfit from Oakland. They wear their politics on their sleeves. They have a couple 7"s out and an Lp that literally just came out. Production quality on the Lp is spot on and not over produced, like many current Oi bands. This almost doesn't qualify as a video, but because of my constant rotation of their new Lp, I just couldn't pass up including them on the blog. 

Awesome video of this killer punk band from Barcelona. Destino Final only put out a little bit of music, but what they did put out is top notch hardcore punk. Their live shows were insane and the music just embraces that punk angst. 

Kicker are a bunch of old guys from many different killer bay area bands, such as Dystopia and Neurosis, but they sound nothing like either of them. Kicker are straight forward punk, with no frills and light hearted lyrics. This band is meant to be fun and thats exactly what it is. Check em out.

Great video of the legendary Belgium band The Kids. Its from 1978 so it is well before they came out with their not so great material. The video even features pieces of an interview with english subs. 

Rifle Diet are a newish crust band from Minneapolis featuring members from Garmonbozia and In Defence. Heavy crust with melodic bits. 

This is your policy review...

Utanforskapet are a Swedish band that are a few years old and play a style of crust mixed with rock n roll. The members were apart of other notable projects like the Uncurbed and Asocial. They only have two releases out but both are worth checking out. 

Scab Eater are a new band of Aussies that play raging punk. I know they have an EP out, but I am not sure what else. 

Dromdead are a crust band out of Venezuela. They play that classic style of hardcore punk taken from bands like The Varukers and they do it well. 

Great quality live video of Gorilla Angreb. Gorilla Angreb were an awesome band out of Denmark and they broke up a few years ago. All their records are still great and worth checking out if you didn't the first time around. 

There is little I can say about Anti-Cimex that has not been said before. Feral Ward has teamed up with others to reissue all their classic material properly. The box set has just became available again on Feral Wards web site and are limited to one per order. They are 90$ but I am sure they are worth every penny. Anyone have 90$ I can barrow?

The Barracudas just seep energy and fun. The fact that English kids wrote songs about the California sun is pretty silly, but they are just so good it doesn't matter. This is music meant to be partied to.

Zabandijas de la 18 are from Ecuador and play fast punk with no frills but lots of energy. Check 'em out. 

Really fun video from The Brokedowns. They have another video that is just as entertaining if you like this one. They play a style of punk that resembles pop punk, but it still has a rough edges, which to me is what makes them stand out from others. 

The Slowmotions are crazy punk rockers from Japan. All you need is this video to prove their insanity to you. I have the dial tone lp and a couple 7"s and they are all similar sloppy punk and it rules. 

The Seven sections of an unhealthy existence

DSB were around for many years and released many 7"s, the pure civilization one being their best. I still play the Kill the Phantom City Lp regularaly and it has held up well. RADICAL PUNKS NEVER DIE!!!

Great quality video of Meanwhile playing at the punk illegal fest in Sweden. 

Kylesa were the continuation of Damad and had a similar sound to them in their first couple releases. Being a huge fan of Damad, I was excited when I heard that they were going to continue on. The first and second Lp's they put out were amazing. Their more recent material is a little too well produced for my tastes, but they still write some brutal music. Check out this video of 100 degree heat index.

Zex are a newer band from Canada featuring members from Germ Attack. At times they are kinda silly but it's still pretty rocking material. They have a few videos out so if you like them check the others out and buy their records!

Polikarpa y sus vicious are an awesome punk band from Colombia. They have a few releases that came out in the early 2000's but I am not sure if they are still active. Check 'em out!

The Jellyroll Rockheads were a band out of Japan in the early 2000's. They put out a few 7"s, all featuring their brand of fierce fastcore music with melodic or 'skate' punk parts mixed in. This is a high quality live video of them. Enjoy.
