After signing to People of Punk Rock Records late last year, Houston punk veterans 30footFall have given us a taste of what they have in store for 2023.
The band’s new single “Maybe You Could Be The One” is their first new music in six years. Check out the new track below and stay tuned for more to come.
In related news, 30footFall will be playing their 30th Anniversary show tonight (May 6th) at Houston’s Heights Theater. More info on that can be found here.
<p>Liz Phair’s classic debut album Exile In Guyville turns 30 next month — June 22 to be exact — and so it’s no surprise we’ll be getting an anniversary tour later this year. The 18-track double album, “loosely framed as a song-by-song reply to The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St.,” according to Matador Records, will get the 30th anniversary tour treatment come autumn as Phair and her band hit the road for 18 dates, playing the album in full alongside […]</p>

Screeching Weasel‘s Anthem For A New Tomorrow turns 30 this year, so naturally a reissue was in order. The album has been remixed by Mike Kennerty who, in addition playing guitar for the All American Rejects, has produced the last few Weasel LPs. I’ve seen plenty of people online taking exception to this record being “remixed” (and remastered by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering), which isn’t surprising. It’s a classic 90’s pop-punk record, one of the untouchables of the era. I understand the skepticism, but sometimes change is a good thing.
The sonic difference from the original release is instantly recognizable within the first few seconds of “I’m Gonna Strangle You”. The guitar tone is much cleaner, both the drums and bass are a lot more punchy and Pro Tools-ish, and Ben’s vocals cut through like never before. It almost sounds like they completely re-recorded the album, especially when you hear the keyboards on songs like “Totally”, “Peter Brady”, and “Every Night”. Purists will likely be turned off by the fact that the record has a much more polished feel; the sound is very similar to the band’s last three studio albums. Whether you like the direction they took on this reissue depends on your opinion of modern Screeching Weasel. If you’ve read my review of their latest LP, you know I’m a big fan of the band’s recent output.
Anthem For A New Tomorrow has always been my favorite Weasel album, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t benefit from this face lift. The crunchy guitars and overall muddy sound never bothered me too much, but this high fidelity reissue has given the record new life 30 years after its initial release on Lookout! Records. If you disagree, that’s cool. I get it. The good thing is the original version of the album still exists, so you can continue to listen to that and pretend this one doesn’t exist.
The 30th Anniversary Edition of Anthem For A New Tomorrow is available now on all major streaming platforms. Striped Music is releasing it on vinyl in Europe (the first pressing sold out but a second pressing is coming soon). Recess Records is handling US distribution, but hasn’t launched pre-orders yet. You can also get it on CD here, thanks to Rum Bar Records.

FEA is a Chicana all-female band from San Antonio, TX. Produced by Laura Jane Grace, they debuted their self-titled LP in 2016. FEA set the bar early on for the first day of Riot Fest with their raw, fierce, and powerfully feminist punk rock energy.
New York-based garage punk band The Bobby Lees quickly become one of my favorite bands of the year after hearing “Guttermilk” for the first time. In true punk rock fashion their drummer, Macky Bowman, ran laps around the stage in nothing but his tighty whities (and that was just a warmup).
Code Orange is a sludgy, thrashy, metalcore punk rock band that obviously cannot be defined by only one single genre. Their intense set was one not to miss.
Yard Act is a fun post-punk British band. Their newest single “The Trench Coat Museum” was released in July and co-produced by Gorillaz member Remi Kabaka Jr.
Walter Schreifels had a particularly busy Riot Fest weekend not only performing with Quicksand on day one, but also Rival Schools and Gorilla Biscuits on the following days. For its 30th anniversary, Quicksand played their 1993 album Slipin its entirety.
Turnstile was of the headliners for the first day (along with the Foo Fighters). Check out the rest of the photos from the first day below, and look out for our coverage of day two and three of Riot Fest!
Frenzal Rhomb have revealed they are recording a new album at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Frenzal Rhomb have revealed they are recording a new album at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado. The studio which is owned and operated by legendary drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, ALL, Black Flag, etc.) has become a home away from home for the band. This will be the third consecutive LP they’ve recorded at the Blasting Room.
Frenzal Rhomb’s last record Hi-Vis High Tea was released in 2017 on Fat Wreck Chords. The band’s next album will be their 10th full-length, and the first to feature new member Michael “Dal” Dallinger on bass. The former Local Resident Failure frontman took over for longtime bassist Tom Crease in 2019.
The Australian punk veterans have also announced they will finish off 2022 by celebrating their 30th Anniversary with a hometown show and art exhibit at Sydney’s Crowbar on Saturday, December 10th. More info on that can be found here.
Stay tuned for more details on Frenzal Rhomb’s next album, and follow the band on their socials for updates on the recording process.
So I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but somehow February 9th of this year marked 30 years since Quicksand‘s seminal debut full-length Slip was released. I remember that album melting my little 8th-grade brain when I first heard it, and it most definitely still holds up. Anyway, the band announced a dozen-or-so 30th anniversary […]

Anyway, the band announced a dozen-or-so 30th anniversary Slip tour dates slated to take place this fall. The East Coast run extends from October 30th in Atlanta through November 5th in NYC, and the West Coast jaunt runs from November 24th in Englewood, CO, through December 2nd in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Check the full rundown below!

Screeching Weasel has announced a 30th Anniversary reissue of their 1993 LP Anthem For A New Tomorrow. The iconic pop-punk record has been out of print for over a decade, having last been repressed by Recess Records in 2012. The new reissue was remixed by Mike Kennerty, who produced the last four SW albums.
The CD version, which features four bonus tracks, is available to pre-order here. Italy’s Striped Music is pressing the record on pink vinyl (limited to 500 copies). All copies come with a poster and CD. You can pre-order that here. Recess Records will have orange, blue, and green color variants available in the US soon.
This incarnation of Screeching Weasel boasts what many consider to be the band’s definitive lineup: Ben Weasel on guitar and vocals, Danny Vapid on bass, John “Jughead” Pierson on guitar, and Dan Panic on drums. This album’s tracklist is brimming with classic songs like “Falling Apart”, “Peter Brady”, “Every Night”, “Claire Monet” and, of course, the penultimate title track. When I think of Lookout! Records and 90’s pop-punk, Anthem For A New Tomorrow is one of the first records that comes to mind.
Screeching Weasel released their 14th studio album The Awful Disclosures of Screeching Weasel in 2022. Here‘s our review of that LP.

At long last, Blink-182‘s classic live (but not actually live) record The Mark, Tom and Travis Show is back in print! I think it’s been 7 years(?) since this was last repressed.

Also new from Blink this week: Buddha gets its like 30th color variant, thanks to Cleopatra Records.

One of the most critically acclaimed releases of 2022, Soul Glo‘s Diaspora Problems, is back in print once again. 500 copies are available on this new Gold / Transparent Green / Pink Split color variant. This LP moves fast (I think this is the sixth pressing in just a year), so act fast and get it here if you want a copy.
Last reissue / repress, I pinky swear! Anywho, Chuck Ragan‘s 2016 solo album The Flame in the Flood is getting repressed. There’s a few variants: “Sunshine” (Canada), “Swamp Green” (US), “Flame” colored, and of course, black wax.

Check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:
I’ll acknowledge I’m late to the party on this one but I can’t just not mention it. Green Day is releasing a 30th Anniversary Dookie box set, with bonus tracks, demos, live recordings, etc. spread across 6 LPs. If you don’t need all that, they’re reissuing just the LP on baby blue colored vinyl as well. Our friends at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records have the best prices I’ve seen on these, so head over to their webstore if you wanna grab ’em.
The Wonder Years frontman Dan “Soupy” Campbell’s side project Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties are reissuing their two studio albums. We Don’t Have Each Other and Routine Maintenance are back in print on some cool pinwheel color variants. Get them both here.
It’s been a while since the Parasites put out some new music, but the wait is over. We’ll, kinda sorta. Their new 7″ EP-onymous features 5 songs they supposedly wrote for Sweet Baby 30+ years ago. So they’re old, but new to you. Anyway, the Parasites rule, get the 7″ here.
Continuing to play catch up on all the shit I missed last week, The Menzingers announced a new record. It’s called Some of it Was True and it’s coming out October 13th on Epitaph Records. Check out the first single below and pre-order the album here.
Good Charlotte’s The Young and the Hopeless gets its 2nd repress of the year. The last one was “limited” to 10,000 (still in stock here btw) while this one is limited to 500 though, so I suppose that’s notable. The black w/ lime green splatter LP comes with a copy of Alternative Press Magazine which somehow makes it worth $50. Buy it here if you’d like.
Rad Girlfriend Records‘ latest release comes from Pale Angels, a band with members in the US and UK. Their new record Plastic Legacy releases on September 8th. Check out the first single below and pre-order the LP here.
The pride of Australia, The Living End’s debut album turns 25 this year, and it’s getting reissued to mark the occasion. There’s a standard LP reissue available on red or white vinyl, and a 2xLP deluxe edition with a full live set on the second record. Jeffrey Bezos’ Amazon.com is the cheapest place to get both. There’s a black & red splatter variant of the Double LP available from Bullmoose as well; not sure if that’s the same as the one on Amazon or not.
Useless ID‘s Yotam Ben Horin and Old Man Markley’s John Edward Carey Jr. released their first album as Tommy and June in 2019. Now they’re back with a new 5-song EP called Monfalcone, produced by Fat Mike and out now on Fat Wreck imprint Bottles To The Ground. Check out one of the tracks below and get the record here.
