Happy 80th birthday to Charlie Harper, British singer, songwriter and lead singer of the punk rock band UK Subs, born on this day in 1944 in Hackney, London.
Koncert dla ~20 osób, świetny klimat, bawiłem się chyba lepiej niż na Rancidzie w zeszłym roku (inna skala), obłowiłem się merchem, zarobiłem podpisy na "Noise Noise Noise" i setlistę <3
W przyszłym roku też chcą przyjechać, czekam. #theLastGang#koncert#live#punk@punk

I mentioned Bingo Boys' 2023 record 'Freak Out & Leave' in February, how I was upset I somehow missed it last year. They're from Indianapolis, Indiana and make some incredible catchy, melodic psych-ish garage/punk.
I've been going through their back catalog today and they don't even have bad songs. 🤯
Bingo Boys put out a couple singles this/last year which are unfortunately only on Spotify, but Bandcamp has several of theirs too- ALL good: https://bingoboys.bandcamp.com
an american documentary filmed through 1979 and 1980. The movie is about the Los Angeles punk rock scene and was directed by Penelope Spheeris. In 1981, the LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates wrote a letter demanding the film not be shown again in the city.
Listening to Jason Loewenstein's 2017 solo record Spooky Action again today as I often do, yknow, just because it's one of the greatest damn albums ever recorded
