DS News: Italy’s Wasei premieres new song “Punk Police on My Back”

Italian punks Wasei are not afraid of wearing their influences on their sleeve; the band’s new single “Punk Police on My Back” is proof of that. Most of the song’s lyrics are dedicated to name dropping their favorite bands: NOFX, Lagwagon, The Offspring… the usual suspects. Equally on the nose is the title of their […]

Italian punks Wasei are not afraid of wearing their influences on their sleeve; the band’s new single “Punk Police on My Back” is proof of that. Most of the song’s lyrics are dedicated to name dropping their favorite bands: NOFX, Lagwagon, The Offspring… the usual suspects. Equally on the nose is the title of their upcoming album: Vulgar Misplay of Burkett.

The thing is, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with any of that! These guys have an awesome sound and this is a pretty catchy song. And I’ll go out on a limb and say a lot of 90’s punk fans can probably relate to Wasei’s unabashed nostalgia for records like Dookie, Smash, and Punk in Drublic.

Check out “Punk Police on My Back” below and be on the lookout for Vulgar Misplay of Burkett (still not sure exactly what that means) in early 2023.

Rejoice, fellow punkers…the opening of the Punk Rock Museum is nigh…almost!

Since Dying Scene was still in hibernation when news of the Punk Rock Museum first really broke, let’s catch you up real quick. Located at 1422 Western Avenue in Las Vegas, the Punk Rock Museum will be a 12,000-square-foot ode to all things punk rock. It was an idea initially concocted by Fat Mike and friends, and will eventually be home to nearly fifty years worth of memorabilia, a bar, a tattoo shop, a wedding chapel, a jam spot, and more.

The official opening date will be March 10, 2023. Starting a couple weeks later – April 1, to be exact – the Museum will be open for guided tours, as given by a who’s who of scene vets. The current list includes:

DS News: NOFX announces “NOFXxX” Box Set

Having already announced plans to release 3xLP live albums of shows on their final world tour earlier this week, NOFX continues making collector nerds sweat with their latest announcement: a 10″ box set called NOFXxX.

Each of the ten 10″ records in the box set will feature a demo (and acoustic version) of a song from the band’s next LP Everybody Else is Insane, which we now know will be released in November, 2023.

Read Fat Mike’s explanation below and go here if you wanna fork over $150 for 10 songs.

Dear people,

I am announcing a new cool thing that I am very stoked on…. And I am announcing it at a time that is not ideal. NOFX are releasing a new box set of 10 new songs on 10, 10 inch records. Each 10 inch has the original demo version of the song, and an acoustic version of the song. These are the songs that we recorded during our “live in the studio” thing last year. The finished versions of these songs will be on our new album “Everybody Else is Insane” that comes out in November 2023.

The really cool thing about these 10 inches is the artwork. We got original art by Mark de Salvo, Cam Rackam, Jennie Cotterill, Shepard Fairey, Tokyo Hiro, and more. Unlike the 7 inch of the month club…. We spent money getting really great artists! I’m super stoked on the songs too! I’ve never done so many acoustic songs before and the demos sound pretty rad too.

This will be our last 10 inch vinyl box set club. I’m proud of it. I hope you enjoy it too.

Very Sincerishly,

Fat Mike

DS News: NOT pays tribute to ALL & Descendents with new single “Stop the World”

If you’ve never heard of NOT, you are NOT alone. I was browsing the New Releases section on Spotify late last night when I stumbled upon these guys and decided to give their new single (and first song ever) “Stop the World” a listen. Within a few seconds of pressing play, I thought to myself […]

If you’ve never heard of NOT, you are NOT alone. I was browsing the New Releases section on Spotify late last night when I stumbled upon these guys and decided to give their new single (and first song ever) “Stop the World” a listen. Within a few seconds of pressing play, I thought to myself “Holy shit, these guys sound exactly like ALL!”. I suspected the sonic similarity was too blatant to be a mistake, and a quick peek at the band’s bio confirmed that suspicion.

NOT is a four piece featuring Davey Warsop (Beat Union, Suedehead and Sharp/Shock), Brendan Scholz and Jarred Cooper of Mercy Music, and drummer Kyle Whitmore. They have a full Descendents/ALL inspired album on the way (same title as the single), which promises to deliver “14 hyperactive, caffeine fueled pop songs boasting hook after hook choruses about love and heartache”.

Warsop had this to say about the motivation behind the project: “So many musicians have unapologetically paid tribute to bands like the Ramones or the Clash… It’s about time someone did the same for ALL. We’re just trying to fly that flag as proudly as possible.”

Check out the single below and be on the lookout for Stop the World (the album) in early 2023 on Wiretap Records (NA), Brassneck Records (UK), and Waterslide Records (Japan).
