DOUBLE CROSS: Feedback Friday: Bad Brains
Photo: Steve Hanner thinking of the Bad Brains got me thinking of “I Against I”, how awesome that record is and how epic the lyric sheet photo is. I know, “epic” is a big word and one that people tend to throw around rather loosely, but f*** it, that photo really is epic. Check it…

DOUBLE CROSS: BJ Papas – NYHC Photographer
BJ Papas may be the most legendary photographer of NYHC. Pretty cool considering the bad rap hardcore has always gotten for the lack of female involvement. Seemingly elusive and interview-shy despite still photographing bands and being connected to the scene which she grew up in, we were psyched as hell to be able to chat…

DOUBLE CROSS: Shaun Sheridan – The Anthrax Part II
So he was there and Joe Crucial gets on the mic and says “We’re happy to be here, we hear Ian’s in the crowd tonight. You’re so great and wonderful, but, why do you have to use the F-word so often?! That’s not very positive! This song goes out to you! Those Who Curse Are…

Russia wages war on emo kids | Music | guardian.co.uk
First came the Chechens, then ethnic Georgians, and then maverick journalists. But now Russia’s cracking down on a different social group, a demographic they see threatening the very future of their country. These rebels have pierced lips, ridiculous haircuts and too much eyeshadow. They’re barbarians in bowler hats, leather jackets and torn-up tights. Yes, emo…

Warped Beyond Repair
When the Warped Tour launched in 1994, nearly all the featured acts played really fast, got profanely angry about politics, and said funny s* on stage. Also, unwatched by most, “extreme athletes” performed. The heavy corporate presence, amphitheater settings and lofty concession prices bristled some Mohawks. Other than that, it wasn’t the worst possible way…

Negative Approach at WFMU
As far as first-wave HC goes, Negative Approach were among the most vicious feedback-pummel units going. Songs careened by in seconds, were pretty much politics-free, focusing on sheer vocal/instrumental destruction. They were inspired by not only their American peers, but UK groundbreakers like Discharge (who, like, NA, were big Stooges fans). In 2006 they returned…

The Grainy, Xeroxed Pages of My 9th Grade "New Wave" Fanzine
Are you ready for some nostalgic “ha-ha’s” at my expense? Embarrassing ones? Good.
