Dillinger Four and various artists released new music featured in BrooklynVegan's weekly playlist.
The Museum of Youth Culture is set to open in Camden, featuring a collection of 100,000 items that document Britain's hidden teen history, from rockers' leather jackets to modern school leavers' hoodies.
Clothing that bears the name of a city near or far has become a closet staple for many consumers in recent years, evolving from impulse purchases to mainstream fashion.
"At 2 a.m., sitting up and contemplating our loss during my child's wake, I found myself reflecting on all the major news events that had left their mark on me through the years and the helplessness I sometimes felt to change anything. Writing the last verse was the most difficult and personal thing I've done."
A special 50th anniversary Punk Rock history event at The New Farm featuring bands and musicians from the dawn of the punk rock revolution of San Francisco. NO ALTERNATIVE, SLEEPERS AD, SOCIETY DOG plus AVENGERS guitar player GREG INGRAHAM performing with JEAN CAFFEINE, THE DEAD SAILOR GIRLS & INSECT LOUNGE.
Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter have announced a Fall 2026 North American tour that will make up for an outing postponed last year due to guitarist Steve Jones' broken wrist. The tour kicks off September 11th in Dallas, and runs through an October 18th show in Los Angeles.
Sometimes an audience wants to be told, what is this? And I'm refusing to do that. You can find great things in music when you open up to real listening. No one needs to be told 'what something is,' otherwise why would we be making something so straightforward? Be ready to be surprised, to find something new in music, and let the music resonate with you.
My driving belief is that we need to be able to communicate, to touch humanity, to try to connect to each other in some way, but I'm also not trying to forgive or underplay the extremities. There was fighting either between different factions or just for fun. Initially, what I saw was deeply shocking. When you're in those environments, it's so venomous and hateful.
Wax London is here to get us all outdoors this spring with its new-season collection 'The Outside is On'. Keeping the brand's balance of timelessness, craft and wearability, the new collection is a celebration of the optimism of spring - and yes, that means colour.
The new album Everything Must Go arrives on April 24 via Bad Time Records and Community Records, and first single 'Free Dom' is out now. It finds Bad Operation doing what they do best, fusing 2 Tone's influence with fresh, urgent new ideas and coming out with something danceable, catchy, and powerful.
The Baltimore band's rendition of 'I Wanna Be Adored' is a clean combination of their dreamiest impulses and their rock-forward energy. Taking the tempo up just a tad from the original, Turnstile bring a touch of restlessness to the cover; frontman Brendan Yates powers through his vocal performance with passion, nailing a few arching belts as the band plays behind him with poise.
Choosing a particular model does not necessarily mean focusing on excessive colour, but rather knowing how to identify the lines and volumes that communicate a precise aesthetic vision that breaks with convention. This process requires a certain awareness of materials and proportions, as a shoe with a strong design has the ability to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated and modern style statement.
Don't say you were not warned: stories, both in print and broadcast, are already being prepared about the 50th anniversary of punk rock. Indeed, 1976 saw the release of debut albums by the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Damned, and the first version of Blank Generation, Richard Hell's anthem. Of course, there are also nitpicky arguments for rejecting 1976 as the annus mirabilis.
There isn't one songwriter, and so the flavour of the band is always going to change, says Dave Vanian, reflecting on 50 years of the group of which he has been the sole constant member, the Damned. Captain Sensible is a great fan of syrupy pop music and prog and glam rock. So his writing is very poppy, melodic and quite wonderful.
At the end of last year, XOYO (along with other London venue The Camden Assembly) was acquired by the newly formed Propaganda Independent Venues group, run by Propaganda founder Dan Ickowitz-Seidler and TEG founder Richard Buck. By acquiring the Shoreditch club, the group wanted to help it "thrive under independent ownership and become a cultural hub for the area, offering opportunities and support to local artists and businesses".
Dry Cleaning singer Florence Shaw likes to keep some distance between her vocals and the rest of the band. Shaw's curious confidences, spoken-word confessions, and bemused monologues appear to have only a passing relationship to the propulsive rhythms and brittle riffs that frame them. That dissonance can be striking at first, but it grows restrictive-stark contrast can only take you so far.
Toyah and Robert Fripp are back in the kitchen with a new episode of Sunday Lunch. This week they're taking on X-Ray Spex 's skronky punk classic "Oh Bondage! Up Yours!" and of course they are decked out in bondage gear, with Robert in gimp mode. This week's sign: "Fripp's Ma Sub." Watch that and live footage of X-Ray Spex's original below.
