Yesterday, this post believed it was a sad day because one of a lot of our favorite bands had broken up suddenly, seemingly without warning. After 34 years, Anti-Flag disbanded. Totally vanished off the face of social media, their website, etc.
Today is a sad day for different reasons. Here’s an update, and we take this very seriously.
We fully support HER and any others that have been affected by his actions.

Australian punk rock powerhouse Clowns have spilled the beans on their new album Endless. It’s due out October 20th through Fat Wreck Chords and you can pre-order the record here (US), here (EU), or here (AUS). Check out the music video for their brand new single “Bisexual Awakening” below.
Here’s what Clowns singer Stevie Williams had to say about the track:
“Bisexual Awakening” is a heavy song on our new album ENDLESS, with high-octane energy punk rock and lyrics reflecting my personal journey of realizing my own bisexuality. Biphobia and bi-invisibility is real and annoying, and the lyrics tackle these topics in my own light-hearted way. I don’t take a lot of things very seriously in my life, and when I do take something seriously, my knee-jerk reaction is to try and see the humour in it in an attempt to stop taking it seriously. And honestly, there is a little bit of humour in being afflicted with bisexual tendencies. Who will I smooch tonight after I clock off from DJing a queer night in Melbourne? It seriously might be anyone, and that, to me, is super fun and exciting way to live and love.”
This is the album’s second single, following “Formaldehyde“. If you missed that one, you’re gonna want to check it out, too – it’s an absolute banger. And did I mention it made by Best New Punk Rock of June list? Because it did!

One of the very best things about helping to run a super cool music website like Dying Scene is that we get to help spread the word about music that we love and think should be celebrated. Being a Boston-area native, Rebuilder were one of the first local bands that I “discovered” after I started writing for Dying Scene and so a decade later, it’s been awesome to see them continue to grow and push creative boundaries.
So if every day that we get to share new Rebuilder news is a good day, that makes today double good! First up, the band debuted the second single from their upcoming album, Local Support. The song is called “Another Round,” and while lead single “Hold On” was a Sal Ellington-fronted track, this one finds his tag team frontman partner Craig Stanton at the helm. Check it out below via Bandcamp or find it wherever you stream your favorite music!
Also, the foursome launched pre-orders for Local Support, their A-F Records debut, today! As you might expect, there are some pretty sweet color variations for you vinyl enthusiasts. The album is officially out August 11th, but you can secure your very own copy right here! Also, if you haven’t checked out the video for “Hold On” yet, watch it below and see if you can spot the Dying Scene Contributor who makes a cameo (hint: it’s not me)!
We didn’t really have a mechanism of covering the story since the site was still broken at the time, but I’m sure you all know by now that Pierre Kezdy, bass player for Naked Raygun (and Pegboy and seemingly countless others) died of cancer back in October 2020. It was a super bummer for us […]
We didn’t really have a mechanism of covering the story since the site was still broken at the time, but I’m sure you all know by now that Pierre Kezdy, bass player for Naked Raygun (and Pegboy and seemingly countless others) died of cancer back in October 2020. It was a super bummer for us and for his family and for the incredibly tight-knit Chicago scene, and his loss is still felt by many.
As a way to try to turn the situation into a positive, however, details have been announced for a new compilation, and let us tell you…it sounds pretty awesome! Entitled Godspeed: A Tribute to Pierre Kezdy, the fourteen-song compilation features appearances from the likes of Hot Water Music, Face To Face, Swingin’ Utters, Pegboy, The Bollweevils, Josh Caterer (Smoking Popes) and more! And the best part is that all of the proceeds go to Pierre’s family!
You can pre-order the album and check out the tracklist by going here, and there is a bunch of merch and other goodies available here!
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 […]
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 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!
Okay, let’s just dive right into this one, comrades! The lineup for 1234Fest was announced seemingly from out of nowhere today, and we’re here to tell you that it rules. If you’re unaware of 1234Fest – as many of us here at DSHQ were until this afternoon – it’s a two-day festival that is slated […]
Okay, let’s just dive right into this one, comrades! The lineup for 1234Fest was announced seemingly from out of nowhere today, and we’re here to tell you that it rules.
If you’re unaware of 1234Fest – as many of us here at DSHQ were until this afternoon – it’s a two-day festival that is slated to take place in September. The first installment is in at an old auto salvage yard in Denver at The JunkYard on September 9th, and day two is going down September 23rd across the country at Philadelphia’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion (which is actually in Camden, New Jersey, which is kind of if an old auto salvage yard was a city, but it’s right across the river from Philly so I guess it counts). The lineup for both days appears to be the same, and it’s a pretty great one.
Lead billing on both days goes to none other than Rise Against and Rancid. Providing support will be Jawbreaker, Descendents, Joyce Manor, Pussy Riot and Dillinger Four. Good grief. Tickets are on sale THIS FRIDAY (June 23) – Denver will be on sale here, and Camden Philly are on sale here. Set your bookmarks accordingly!

A week after announcing the departure of longtime drummer Derek Grant, Alkaline Trio has revealed Atom Willard is next in line to man the throne. A few other bands the journeyman has played in throughout his 30+ year career include Rocket From The Crypt, Against Me!, and Angels & Airwaves.
Willard has also collaborated with Matt Skiba on side projects like theHELL and, more recently, Lektron. Shit, he even did a brief stint as the touring drummer for Alkaline Trio in 2000! (video evidence below) Is there anything this man hasn’t already done?
Derek Grant parted on good terms, citing the demands of touring as his main reason for walking away from the band. The veteran drummer spent 22 years with Alk3, joining shortly after the release of their breakthrough album From Here to Infirmary in 2001.
Atom Willard’s first day on the job is June 21st at Wrigley Field. More info on Alkaline Trio’s upcoming tour dates can be found here.

Boy, the hits just keep on coming this week. First there was the Social D tour cancellation/Mike Ness cancer treatment story, and now this…
Longtime Alkaline Trio drummer Derek Grant announced yesterday via social media that his time behind the kit has come to a close. Here’s the full statement…
The band followed with a statement of their own:
In light of Derek’s decision to step down as a member of the band, we’d like to send our love and thanks for everything he contributed. It’s impossible to put into words all he’s done, but we are endlessly proud of what we have accomplished with one another.
The 46-year-old Grant was by far the Trio’s longest-running drummer, having joined the band after the departure of Mike Felumlee (Smoking Popes) back in 2001. He also released a really great solo record of his own, Breakdown, back in 2015.

Allegations aren’t a conviction. Innocent until proven guilty.

I feel like it’s pretty telling that the band broke up and didn’t just go on hiatus, or worse, carry on like nothing happened.
Seriously?
LOL there’s always one of you, isn’t there? No one said allegations were a conviction. But this isn’t a court of law. We’re allowed to form our opinions without being held to the same standard as a jury, especially when our opinions are informed based on a history of similar behavior and multiple allegations around the same person. I believe her, and I stand with survivors.
jake h.
Yo this is why. Dying Scene might wanna get ahead of this story. Justin Sane has been doing this for years, ask around.

I had a similar, but thankfully not as bad, experience with Justin when I was 19 and he was 30 and I thought we were friends after chatting after a show in Aus one night. Tried super hard to get me to send him nudes, told me he would fly back to my city so we could go to a nude beach together, invited me to his hotel room loads of times, answered the door in his jocks when i came to pick him up from the hotel to go have breakfast. Tried to get me and my very young looking friend to have a threesome with him. All denied of course. He also told me that the singer from Paramore was cheating on her husband at the time. Chad? And trying to fuck him on the side while they were in Australia, in order to gain my trust by sharing something that he “didn’t want me to tell anyone”.
That’s my input. I believe her.
jaystone
Good grief. I’m sorry you went through that. Thank you for sharing your story.
