We've been running a contest for someone to win two free tickets to Punk Rock Bowling. Well, we've selected a winner! Congrats to Sara M of California for winning two passes to Punk Rock Bowling! …and Sara is looking for love out there at the event center and club shows. She says, "To simply put it, I want to go to find a husband. I’m just a single punk gal looking for a punk rock husband. Yes sure, I am so looking forward to seeing all the bands and being part of the punk milieu in general but I am determined to find one of my kind at the festival. Punk news could very well be responsible for making true love possible." So, congrats to Sara and if you see her out there, maybe say something nice. Don't be creepy. Might we suggest, "My, that is a most excellent Crass backpatch you have there. What did you use for the stitchting?" You very well might come to PRNB single and leave with a ring on your finger!

<p>Sometimes a song isn’t so much a song as it is a confrontation, and within that confrontation is a chance to escape, if only for a moment, the blackened malaise of life. Providing the type of portal we need the most right now is Slow Crush, the Belgian shoegaze and noise-pop dynamo who this week (May 13) unleashes a strategic fit of calculated chaos called “Thirst.” It’s the unrelenting title track to the foursome’s new album out August 29 via Pure Noise […]</p>

<p>We get a bum rap for hating on superhero movies, and we don’t deserve it. Sure, we don’t like most of what Marvel Studios has released in the last five years, but that one enterprise isn’t synonymous with “Superhero,” as much as Kevin Feige might want it to be. The animated Spider-Verse films, the Venom movies, Matt Reeves’ take on The Batman: if you’re willing to ignore Marvel (and, frankly, Sony), there’s still a lot to love in the genre […]</p>
