Johnny X:
At some point over the last 10 years the Punk Scene began to lose its Angst. It might have begun when mainstream media decided to dub bands of the corporate produced, high-pitched vocal variety as "punk". Unfortunately, as some of these bands saw success among the masses, many of the punk labels responsible for the golden years of the 90's saw the dollar signs in backing a publicly palatable sound and quickly jumped on the bandwagon.
Seemingly overnight a genre known for its desperation, anger and nonconformity became known for its goofyness, whininess and catchy hooks. At the same time the old bands that built the Punk Scene of the 90's began to grow stale as their own success robbed them of the discontentment that once fueled their rage and drove their music.
But that angst is still out there. I created this website to expose to wider audiences the bands that still have that fire burning inside them. I created it to pump new blood into the anemic state of true Punk Rock today and to help salvage the remains of a DYING SCENE.

Just testing the new star system...
Not my bad.
Guessing you didn't actually read the whole story.
About Time is still a 5 star album, IMO. I don't think that means All Or Nothing can't be a 5 as well.
I'm just stoked nobody completely freaked at my use of "gravelcore".
Yep :)
Wow. I'm an idiot. It's up now.
Does anybody know the mysterious reason we do this? Yes, there is a reason. Whoever can answer it gets a virtual high-five from me.
Because if you're reading the story from the front page of DyingScene.com you have to click the link to get to the full page version of the story where the vids are :)
Dammit! Thanks. Fixed!
Agreed. You guys should sign them!
Thanks Ron. Post is updated!
Who needs to proof read when you have readers to call you out? ;)
True, Strung Out's "Another Day In Paradise" absolutely belongs in the original post. Great album!
