Interviews: Nerdin' about birdin' with Julian of Avem

Southern Ontario-based punks and avid birders Avem have just released their excellent new EP Nerdin About Birdin that sees them tackling the negative effects climate change is having on birds (and humans!), talking about addiction, and discussing the mating rituals of bowerbirds over kick-ass Ramonescore riffs. The band are getting ready to spread their wings and take their bird-conscious punk to the international stage. Along with recently signing with Belgium's Bearded Punk Records, the band will be playing Punk Rock Raduno in Italy and Festivalkult in Germany in July. They will also be crossing the border and playing Fest in Gainesville this October. And if you live in Ontario or Montreal, fear not! Avem will be coming your way later this month. Nerdin About Birdin is out now on Mom's Basement Records. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with bassist and vocalist Julian Warmland over Zoom to talk about playing festivals, their new EP, what we can do to help birds, and so much more.

German melodic punks No Guidance play blazing fast melodic punk, with their sound situated somewhere between Good Riddance and Millencolin. Dying Scene is stoked to bring you the exclusive premiere of the band’s new single “OK Boomer”. Check it out below!

Here’s what the band had to say about the track:

“OK Boomer is about people who once called themselves konservative but clearly shifted right. These people often claim they see behind the curtain and understand the general conspiracy behind current events. At the end of the day the know nothing and can‘t present solutions.”

No Guidance released their debut album Fireworks for Arsonists in 2021 (check that out here). They’ll be recording to the studio this October, with plans to release a sophomore LP in early 2024. Stay tuned for more on that.

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Review: Does what a Spidey should

<p>If there’s one unifying trait that almost every live-action superhero film shares, it’s that they don’t care much for their source medium. Now, I don’t mean this in the way that a whole lot of nerds often do when they take to their subreddits and still-active BBSes – few people genuinely do not give a fuck about whether or not the mythic poetry of Matter-Eater Lad’s origin will be fluently translated to the screen into the somehow inevitable Legion of […]</p>

Exclusive Videos: Watch the new video by Don't Sleep!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Don''t Sleep! The video is for their song "20/20" and was directed by Josh Nesmith. Speaking to Punknews about the song and video Garrett Rothman said, "We are excited to introduce our new single '20/20' and the accompanying video. “20/20” is on our See Change LP, which drops TODAY on End Hits Records. '20/20' is truly a summer jam – it has a big, anthemic quality to it with an uplifting chorus that everyone can relate to – “Someday I’ll be free!” Like any great summer jam, it’s the kind of song that you want to listen to while driving around town with your windows down. The video for this song is a montage of Don’t Sleep live shows, but interspersed with scenes from Harrisburg, PA, the hometown of 4/5 of Don’t Sleep. The video was beautifully edited by Josh Nesmith. Josh’s vision resulted in a dreamy, ethereal piece that we are really proud of and truly accentuates the song.” The song is off their album See Change that is out today via End Hit Records and which you can stream right here. Watch the video below!
