So this is pretty rad. Rancid front man Tim Armstrong did an improvised and pretty cool acoustic set at the Music 4 Cancer booth during this year’s Amnesia Rockfest. Apparently he just randomly walked across the street outside the Rockfest perimeter and jammed out a handful of classics with a little help from The Interrupters.
Check out the fan-filmed video below.
Not often we hear something from a completely unknown group that absolutely blows us away. Believe us, we listen to a lot of punk-- and news flash: not all of it's good. But 24 Hour Punks, discovered through a lucky click on bandcamp, is incredible. Think fast, intense melodic punk that lands somewhere between hard-hitting 90s skate and Cock Sparrer. It's a powerful concoction for a debut EP.
Even better, there's a story behind it. As the band's name suggests, Why We Fight was written, rehearsed, and recorded in 24 hours. All proceeds go to charity organization AMMF.
We're not kidding! Check out the three song EP and listen to 24 Hour Punks raise the bar here.
I was there
I passed as I was on my way to see bigwig with a friend and my fiancé and I honestly couldn’t believe it.
In fact I’m the only only one that recognized him.
It was darker at the time and gosh I wish I had stuck around till the end but the 2 other duffus with me went on so I left too

He wants to host the tonight show so bad.

That’s awesome! Saw in some comments that some dude was there for a minute then left cause his friends wanted to leave. Somebody would have to be dying for me to leave that lil set! And even then I might not leave!
