DS Interview: Lenny Lashley on Street Dogs, Gang of One, Torr Skoog and more

Posted by jaystone on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 11:44 AM (PST)

Lenny Lashley has been synonymous with the Boston punk scene for as long as this writer can remember. So when it was initially announced that the former Darkbuster frontman would take be taking over for Tobe Bean in the Street Dogs, it seemed, while potentially volatile, it could be a match made in heaven. But hey, it’s Boston punk rock, what else would you expect?

I had the privilege of catching up with Lenny outside a local coffee shop on what was the first sunny day Boston had seen in about two weeks. We talked about his upcoming solo full-length debut, the decision to join Street Dogs, the recent passing of Torr Skoog, and the state of the Boston punk scene. Click here to check it out.

Tim Barry talks re-release of “Laurel Street Demos” and life as a DIY artist

Posted by jaystone on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 8:49 AM (PST)

Tim Barry is a man that, at this point, probably needs no introduction. Whether it be through his days as frontman of seminal Richmond, Virgina, punk band Avail or his more recent career as an acoustic singer/songwriter, Barry has established a well-earned reputation as a hard-working do-it-yourselfer who bleeds authenticity.

On the heels of Chunksaah Records re-releasing Barry’s solo “debut,” the Laurel Street Demos, Barry took some time out of his busy schedule (as you’ll read, we got sidetracked by babies, mechanics and…chickens) to discuss the origins of his solo career, his upcoming UK and US tours, and what it means to be active as a 100% DIY artist in 2013. Click here to check it out, and click here to see where you can catch Tim on tour.

For those not yet familiar with the band, Chimp Change plays a high-octane brand of pop-infused skate punk that harkens back to vintage Strung Out, Jim Cherry era Pulley and Cock Rock-style Diesel Boy.

DS Photo Gallery: Guttermouth live at The Local 662 (St. Pete, FL – 6/13/13)

Posted by Screeching Bottlerocket on Sunday, June 16, 2013 at 11:04 AM (PST)

I had the pleasure of hanging out with, seeing, and taking pictures of the illustrious Guttermouth the other night at St. Pete, Florida’s second finest venue The Local 662.

Though I missed the opening bands Mosquito Teeth and Pinhold Down, Guttermouth put on a great show, playing fan favorites like Lucky the Donkey, Hit Machine, 1,2,3 Slam, I’m Destroying the World, and more. Many beers were consumed, some exploded, Mark dropped his mic a bunch of times whilst dancing, and overall chaos ensued from the second the band took the stage until the very last chord was strummed and the last word was sung. (Hey, that rhymes!)

Anyway, If you’d like to check out a full gallery of pictures I took at the show, you can do so by clicking here. If you want to know if Guttermouth’s coming near you on their current tour of the southeastern United States, head on over here for a full list of dates and locations for said tour.

DS Photo Gallery: Face To Face, Teenage Bottlerocket, Blacklist Royals & Joshua Black Wilkins, Cambridge, MA

Posted by jaystone on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 6:00 PM (PST)

Last Sunday marked the second time in as many nights that yours truly caught the Face To Face tour with Teenage Bottlerocket, Blacklist Royals and Joshua Black Wilkins. I had planned on taking in both nights strictly as a fan, but the better half and I brought the camera along and combined to take some decent photos, particularly of the tour’s stop at The Sinclair in Cambridge, so I figured I’d share.

If you’ve not taken in this tour yet, you really should. And if you do, get there early. East Nashville’s Joshua Black Wilkins’ sparse, gravelly alt-blues set is not to be missed. Fellow Nashvillians (is that what they’re called) Blacklist Royals brought their tight, punk-infused brand of rock with a set that featured a healthy dose of brand new material from their yet-to-be-released sophomore album, “Die Young With Me.” Teenage Bottlerocket’s energy and audience participation got the small-yet-vocal crowd at The Sinclair amped up. And Face To Face battled through a few technical difficulties for an otherwise well-oiled set that, at long last, finally got the older-than-normal crowd to break out in a few circle pits. And they played “Bikeage”!

Fans of traditional Boston street punk may want to pay attention here. The Welch Boys are set to release a brand new album, “Bring Back The Fight,” next Tuesday (June 11th) via Sailor’s Grave Records. To mark the occasion, we caught up with guitarist (and band namesake) TJ Welch for a chat about the new album, working with Sailor’s Grave, and life as a working class member of the Boston punk scene.

Additionally, we’re stoked to premier a track from the album. The song, entitled “Hand Grenade,” was inspired by MMA fighter Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis. Check it out by clicking here. Also, check out the story behind the song in our interview at the same spot. Two for the price of one!

Rick Barton talks Boston punk scene, painting Frank Black’s house and more

Posted by jaystone on Friday, May 24, 2013 at 10:09 AM (PST)

“Any kind of underground original music, no matter what it is, it’s good if people get into it and follow it. It’s kind of a dying thing, you know what I mean?”

And so began our recent interview with Rick Barton, frontman of the Quincy, MA-based Continental. The band, which also features Barton’s son Stephen on bass, is getting set to hit the road for most of the second half of 2013, while somehow finding time to record a follow-up to their 2012 debut full length, “All A Man Can Do.” Barton, who may be better known from his stint as the original guitarist for the Dropkick Murphys, took some time out of his busy schedule painting houses to talk with us about what it’s like to be in a working band, and to spend six months a year on the road.

Barton was particularly engaging when discussing the concept of being in a band with your own kid. We also discuss what’s happened to the Boston punk scene, what’s happening to the FM359 project (which features Barton teaming up with Street Dogs Mike McColgan and Johnny Rioux), and what it was like to paint Frank Black’s house. It’s a pretty entertaining, enlightening read: check it out here.
