Punk legends Cock Sparrer have revealed they are in the studio working on a new record. They are recording with James Bragg at his Propagation House recording studio in North Cornwall, England. Bragg also produced their 2017 album Forever. The band released the following statement on their Facebook page:

“Drums recorded on 11 new Cock Sparrer songs. Steve Bruce smashed it out the park this weekend. No idea if these songs will see the light of day – depends what they all sound like when they’re finished but there’s a good chance that there could be a new release this year if all goes well. Exciting to still be putting out new material in our 51st year.”

Check out a video of Steve Bruce tracking drums below, and follow Cock Sparrer on Instagram for more updates from the recording studio. Stay tuned for more info on the new record; we’ll keep you posted.

On a related note, Cock Sparrer recently celebrated their 50th Anniversary, and Pirates Press Records marked the occasion by reissuing their seven full-length albums on vinyl. You can get your grubby little hands on them here.

In case you haven’t already heard, AFI‘s major label debut Sing the Sorrow turns 20 this year. Yes, 20 years have passed since 2003!

In addition to playing the album in its entirety at the Forum in Los Angeles, the band is releasing a 20th Anniversary colored vinyl reissue. This is the first official pressing since the record’s initial release.

You can get the 20th Anniversary 2xLP reissue of Sing the Sorrow on Red & Black Pinwheel Splatter colored vinyl here (and basically any independent record store in the US).

There’s also a Red w/ Black Smoke color variant that was initially thought to be limited to 2,000 copies and exclusive to that show at the Forum, but it’s since popped up on the official AFI webstore. I’m sure that’ll make all those eBay flippers nice and pissed.

DS News: Dicky Barrett to release album with new band The Defiant (members of The Offspring, Street Dogs, etc.)

Mighty Mighty Bosstones singer Dicky Barrett has started a new band called The Defiant.

Mighty Mighty Bosstones singer Dicky Barrett has started a new band called The Defiant. Other members include ex-Offspring drummer Pete Parada, longtime Street Dogs bassist Johnny Rioux, original Smash Mouth guitarist Greg Camp, and The Briggs frontman Joey Briggs. They’ve finished recording a 12-song debut album and plan to release it later this year. The band also posted teasers for two tracks, “Everybody Loves Me” and “No Nothing”, which you can check out below.

Barrett had the following to say about the new project:

“All I’ve ever really wanted to do is bring people together and share a message of peace, love, and unity. With that in mind, the music created by The Defiant could very well be some of the best I’ve ever had a hand in making, as well as one of the most important and thoughtful musical experiences of my career. I am thrilled to be a part of it.”

This will be Dicky Barrett’s first new music since the Bosstones broke up in early 2022, shortly after the release of their last album When God Was Great. After months of speculation regarding the band’s demise, the singer revealed in a recent interview that the breakup was due in part to his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Pete Parada was fired by The Offspring under similar circumstances.

According to the band’s website, The Defiant plan on touring following their debut album’s release. We’ll keep you posted as we find out more.

  1. The drummer of The Defiant , Peter Parada , plays in Tim Pool’s lame emo incel band. The Defiant claims just to be anti-vax, but they associate with Tim Pool —a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, right-winger. This is everything The Clash sang against (and I’m pretty sure the Street Dogs too?).
    And I came with receipts:

    Tim Pool being racist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVJOZJkkwOs
    Tim Pool being fascist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTg5Zo799N0
    Tim Pool being transphobic: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-ex-lawyer-jenna-ellis-colorado-victims-1234636445/

    I’m sorry there are enough drummers in the world that you don’t have to use one who helps out a dangerous fascist homophobe. I was a fan of the Street Dogs back in the day because I thought they were pro-human, sad to see Johnny Rioux, Joey LaRocca, and Dicky Barrett work creatively with fascist Pete Parada and the guy from Smash Mouth — Joe Strummer is looking down from heaven gagging.

    “All over people changing their votes
    Along with their overcoats
    If Adolf Hitler flew in today
    They’d send a limousine anyway”

    -The Clash “White Man in Hammersmith Palais”

DS News: Vandoliers to auction off stage-worn dresses to raise money for Knox Pride and Tennessee Equality Project

Well this is one of my favorite stories of the year that is 2023. As you probably know, the government in the State of Tennessee, which still somehow operates as though it’s the 1830s, passed a first-of-its-kind bill that restricts public performances of entertainers in drag.

Well this is one of my favorite stories of the year that is 2023. As you probably know, the government in the State of Tennessee, which still somehow operates as though it’s the 1830s, passed a first-of-its-kind bill that restricts public performances of entertainers in drag. In a gigantic “Fuck You” to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and the lawmakers who signed the terrible, harmful act into law, your favorite punk band’s favorite country band Vandoliers took to the stage in dresses for their Thursday evening show in Maryville, Tennessee.

Now, in an effort to raise funds for Knox Pride and the Tennessee Equality Project, a pair of kick-ass organizations working in the trenches to support the LGBTQ+ community in The Volunteer State, the band are auctioning off the stage-worn dresses they wore for that noteworthy Maryville throwdown. The auction goes live at Noon Central on Saturday, 3/4/23, and stays open for 48 hours. Winning bidders will be contacted Monday 3/6/23. The band will make separate Instagram posts with auction details for each of the six dresses. Bookmark this link and stay tuned tomorrow. Happy bidding!

In case you haven’t already heard of NOT, I’ll give you a brief rundown of what you’ve been missing out on. The band is from Los Angeles and features members of Sharp/Shock, Mercy Music & more. From the get-go, these guys had one goal in mind for this project: write and record original songs that faithfully recreate that distinct ALL/Descendents sound. And they did a damn good job.

It’s due out April 14th on Wiretap Records, Brassneck Records, and Waterslide Records. You can listen to the brand new single “Alien” below and pre-order the record here (US) or here (UK)I don’t wanna jump the gun, but I think there’s serious Album of the Year potential here, folks.

NOT – Stop the World tracklist:

1. Stop The World
2. If Only
3. Hyperactive
4. Living On The Moon
5. Alien
6. Settle Down
7. Sorry Sometimes
8. Hella

11. Losing Control
12. Don’t Make Sense
13. The Last Time
14. Something Else
