Ever wonder what a punk band fronted by right wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones might sound like? Wonder no longer. Steve Vos of Adelleda has taken some of Jones’ most infamous rants and given them hardcore punk backing tracks, and the result is pretty hilarious. Check out Alex’s debut EP below.

A few months ago, it was announced that Jawbreaker would reunite to play this year’s Riot Fest. However, the real reunion happened last night at a secret show in Albany, CA. If you weren’t one of the lucky few to see this show in person, you can watch the band play “The Boat Dreams from the Hill”, “Condition Oakland”, and “Chemistry” for the first time in 21 years below.

It seems this won’t be the only show Jawbreaker will be playing this month. They appear to have a sold out show at the Rickshaw Shop in San Francisco lined up for August 12th. [Read more…]

Avenged Sevenfold just released an unexpectedly awesome cover of Del Shannon’s classic “Runaway”. The song features Warren Fitzgerald of The Vandals on guitar, and it’s completely different from anything else I’ve heard from the band. Give the track a listen below.

Here’s what Warren to say about getting the opportunity to record with A7X:

“I’ve known the Avenged Sevenfold guys for years and obviously Brooks played with The Vandals, and our bands are both from Huntington Beach, so the ties run deep. But I was still surprised and honored that they asked me to play on the track. I think it’s a really cool choice for a cover and the guys were very generous in the studio. They’re all incredible musicians and to have them say, ‘Do what you do,’ was really flattering. So I did, and we had a blast, and I’m tickled to death with how it all turned out.”

Avenged Sevenfold released their latest album The Stage in 2016. It was their first release to feature Brooks Wackerman (formerly of Bad Religion) on drums. [Read more…]

If the rest of the album is this good its going to make a great soundtrack for the end of summer.

From the steamy San Fernando Valley this tremendous young trio released their debut, self titled EP earlier this year. Their unique garage-y hardcore sound, with it’s metal inspired guitar riffs and simple, gut thumping bass serves as a calling card, setting them apart from their peers. The freshman effort features seven sensational tracks including an impeccable cover of the Ramones single, “I’m Not Jesus”. But somehow we’ve slept on ’em, so you’re only hearing about them now! To make up for our transgressions, we reached out to the guys to see if we could stream the album for our precious readers and since they’re such upstanding young gentlemen, they agreed! So, crank up the volume (you’re neighbors are gonna want to hear it too!) and stream this ripper in it’s entirety, exclusively here at Dying Scene, below!
