Go robo-ape with the ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ teaser

<p>So, in case you didn’t know, CCXP, which is one of the world’s biggest comic book conventions, is currently happening in Brazil. We sure as hell didn’t, or we would have paid more attention to our feeds once quitting time came around, given the amount of trailers and news that dropped soon after we walked away from the computer to pet cats and stuff. The first big announcement came from Paramount, which dropped the first trailer for Transformers: Rise of […]</p>

<p>Traffic doesn’t stand a chance: Bang Camaro are back on the highway of rock. The Boston guitar heroes and gang vocalists, hailed as the city’s biggest band (literally) during a ferocious late-2000s heyday that saw them tour North America five years straight and appear on stages everywhere from The Paradise to Late Night with Conan O’Brien to Lollapalooza, return this week with their first new song in over a decade. It’s called “Too Fast to Fall in Love,” and it […]</p>

Today marks the release of NOFX‘s new record Double Album on Fat Wreck Chords. Check it out below, and head over here to buy the album.

Like 2021’s Single Album, this LP mostly features reworked versions of songs originally recorded for band’s most recent 7″ of the Month Club. According to Fat Mike, this will not be NOFX’s final album. He says they “have three more records in the can already”. This includes a five-song EP called Half Album, a studio album titled Everybody Else is Insane, and something Fatty refers to as NOFX: A-Z, which will feature “different versions” of old songs with titles that start with each of the 26 letters of the alphabet.

Earlier this year, NOFX revealed their intentions to throw in the towel following a to-be-announced world tour in 2023. Fat Mike claims the legendary punk band will “play every song we’ve written, off of every album” at their last shows. Surely they’ll make good on that promise.

  1. I could see ending creating new material but why not play shows occasionally.

DS Show Review & Gallery: Smoking Popes and Off With Their Heads, Limbeck, and The Color Fred (Chicago, 11/12/2022)

Smoking Popes and Off With Their Heads drew a sizable and enthusiastic hometown area crowd at The Bottom Lounge for the Midwest Simmerfest on November 12, 2022.

Smoking Popes and Off With Their Heads drew a sizable and enthusiastic hometown area crowd at The Bottom Lounge for the Midwest Simmerfest on November 12, 2022. It was a weekend jam-packed with shows and mini-fests at nearly every, if not every, punk rock venue in the city of Chicago and probably quite a few in the suburbs.


Smoking Popes, comprised of the brothers Caterer: Josh, Matt and Eli, along with Mike Felumlee, headlined the show with a reliably robust performance. The band jammed through a set list that included, “Simmer Down,” “Midnight Moon,” “No More Smiles,” “Rubella,” “Megan,” “Need You Around,” and “I Know You Love Me.” Picking a show for this Saturday night entertainment might have understandably been hard for more than a few in the local punk community. However, it appeared those at the Bottom Lounge were quite satisfied with their choice.


Off With Their Heads, made up of Ryan Young, Kevin Rotter, and Kyle Manning, played with intensity during the night’s penultimate set. The trio tore through an angsty set list leaving some in the crowd looking emotionally exhausted, in the very best way.


Limbeck is a group out of Laguna Niguel, CA. The band – Robb MacLean, Patrick Carrie, Justin Entsminger, and Jon Phillip – gave a boisterous performance as it ran through a set list including, “Honk + Wave,” “Home (Is Where the Van Is),” “Kooks,” “Everyone’s in the Parking Lot,” and “In Ohio on Some Steps.” This crowd gave the guys from the Golden State a very warm welcome.


The Color Fred, made up of Fred Mascherino, Stephen Angello, Keith Gibbons, and Monte Holt kicked off the festivities. The West Chester, PA, group elicited smiles from the crowd as its members marveled with delight at the fog machine. I don’t know if fog machines have been a regular part of their shows or not but I would hazard a guess they might be in the future. And though the band members were, at times, obscured by the fog, the music easily cut through to the attendees’ ears during a very fun set.
