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.

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).

DS News: NOFX to record, release live albums of shows on farewell tour

Punk legends NOFX have announced the first dates on their 40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs farewell tour, set to take place on May 19th and 20th, 2023 in Barcelona. The two shows will see them playing So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes, White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean, Wolves in Wolves’ […]

Punk legends NOFX have announced the first dates on their 40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs farewell tour, set to take place on May 19th and 20th, 2023 in Barcelona. The two shows will see them playing So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes, White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean, Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing, and Punk in Drublic in their entirety. Tickets are available here.

It appears they’ll also be recording these shows and releasing them as live albums. A 3xLP of the Barcelona dates is available to pre-order right now for the low, low price of 60 Euros! For the more frugal among us, the digital download is only 15 bones.

Since this story went live, SBÄM Records has launched a pre-order for a live record of the show taking place in Linz, Austria on June 2nd, 2023. Like the Barcelona release, little details are revealed, but we do know the 3xLP will be pressed on “surprise color vinyl”. Pre-orders available here.

At least 38 more cities on this tour are TBA. We’ll keep you posted when that happens. NOFX recently released Double Album and Fat Mike says they have three more records on the way.

Sad news to kick off Christmas week. Terry Hall, the iconic vocalist of legendary, genre-defining 2-Tone ska band The Specials, has passed away after a brief illness. Hall was 63. If you’re only aware of Hall through his music, he had a pretty incredible life story, particularly his early years. Check out the bio the BBC did here.

As you might imagine, love and respects have been pouring in from all corners of the music world.

“Ghost Town” might have been The Specials’ biggest commercial hit, but “A Message To You Rudy” was the first Specials’ song I ever heard, so let’s all check it out together and reminisce.

DS News: Absolute Melt (Fraser from the Murderburgers) streaming debut EP

Fraser Murderburger has released a new four-song EP from his latest project Absolute Melt.

Fraser Murderburger has released a new four-song EP from his latest project Absolute Melt. It’s a lot less poppy than most of the former Murderburgers frontman’s previous work, but it’s a nice change of pace nonetheless. Check it out below!

The physical release on a limited lathe cut 10″ is sold out (and raised over £600 for Scottish Women’s Aid!). You can still buy it digitally here.

Absolute Melt is one of a few projects Fraser is working on right now. His other band Wrong Life recently released an LP titled Early Workings of an Idea and I’ve heard they have another record coming soon.

My favorite thing about writing for Dying Scene has always been discovering new bands. One of my more recent discoveries is Crash-11, an awesome skate punk band hailing from Bristol, UK. Their sound mixes the speed and melodicism of bands like No Use For A Name and Atlas Losing Grip with the hard-nosed aggression of early Sum 41.

The band just released their debut full-length album I’m Sorry, I Was Wrong and it is excellent. Give it a listen below and head over to their Bandcamp page to grab a copy of the album; they even have CDs!
