Kudos to NorCal garage/surf punks Decent Criminal for the quick turnaround on new music. We were already jonesin’ for some fresh tunes from the phenomenal quartet and it hasn’t even been two full years since their debut LP (ed: you have dependency issues. get help)! The new, ten track album Bloom, (being released by Dodgeball Records) hits shelves on 10/13 and picks […]
Kudos to NorCal garage/surf punks Decent Criminal for the quick turnaround on new music. We were already jonesin’ for some fresh tunes from the phenomenal quartet and it hasn’t even been two full years since their debut LP (ed: you have dependency issues. get help)! The new, ten track album Bloom, (being released by Dodgeball Records) hits shelves on 10/13 and picks up right where the fantastic freshman album ended without missing a beat. To get you stoked for Friday, the boys sent over the debut music video from the album, exclusively for Dying Scene readers. Such thoughtful young men! Watch the video for “Deviant” below until your eyes bleed, then go to an optometrist…then after that, go get your preorder on and start the countdown! If the hooks don’t getcha, the harmonies certainly will!

The weekend of September 15-17 saw the annual return of Riot Fest. Riot Fest 2017 was held for the 12th consecutive year in Chicago and for the third consecutive year in Douglas Park. Once again, Riot Fest saw an eclectic crowd turn out, including multiple generations of families. You can check out our coverage of day one here and our shots from day two here, but we, like Riot Fest organizers this year, certainly saved the best for last.
While last year’s Riot Fest included a Danzig-led Misfits reunion that was noteworthy in its own right, this year’s headline reunion band felt somewhat bigger and more important in a lot of ways. There’s a giant faction of the punk rock scene that’s effectively been the House That Jawbreaker built, and that was certainly reflected in this particular day’s lineup. There’s a direct sonic and stylistic connection from newly-reformed trio, playing only their third show in over two decades, to bands like Hot Water Music to more recent torch-bearers like The Flatliners and The Menzingers. All of the above were on display on a hot and sweaty third-and-final day of Riot Fest 2017, marking a notable past, present and future that seemed to find each generation drawing inspiration from the others.
But wait, there was plenty of other punk rock history to go around! GWAR have kept on keeping on following the death of frontmonster Dave Brockie a few years ago, and have been Riot Fest regulars for years. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones made another stop on their Let’s Face It 20-year celebration shows that’ll wind down with this year’s Hometown Throwdown around Christmastime. Pennywise, who will be celebrating their thirtieth birthday as a band next year, played one of the weekend’s best-received sets. Check out our full photo rundown below!

Ladies and gentlemen; get acquainted with the boys from Norway’s Dangerface. Hailing from the town of Stavangar (which sounds like a bitchin’ viking final resting place, or hidden realm of Asgardian warriors), Dangerface combine a disharmonic, low gain guitar attack with vicious speed and gritty vocals that get to the goddamn point with no emotional […]
Ladies and gentlemen; get acquainted with the boys from Norway’s Dangerface.
Hailing from the town of Stavangar (which sounds like a bitchin’ viking final resting place, or hidden realm of Asgardian warriors), Dangerface combine a disharmonic, low gain guitar attack with vicious speed and gritty vocals that get to the goddamn point with no emotional ambiguity. The band claims The Bronx and Gallows as influences, while fans of The International Noise Conspiracy and Refused are going to detect DNA from those acts in the snarly, low fidelty assault of Dangerface.
The band is putting together their deubt LP, poised for a release sometime around March of 2018. Until then, check out “Wolves”, “Broken Man” and “Get Loud” on the bands Bandcamp page. Below is my personal favorite, “Wolves”. Comment, and let us know which track you’re into.
