<p>Remember the time Liquid Death, a gratuitously morbid canned water company, camped out at Boston Calling just to give guests phony fortunes? Or when Dunkin’ constructed a two-story pop-up so Bostonians could string together friendship bracelets while jeeped up on caffeine? Every year of the festival brings a new slew of hyper-specific cultural experiences, and we’ve compiled the best ways to spend your time in between shouting your favorite lyrics and waiting in line for another round of Tasty Burger.

<p>Well, it may not exactly be the summertime escape we’ve become accustomed to in years past, but all the familiar elements of Boston Calling are rolling early in 2025 — including, to the immense pleasure of our nostrils and stomachs, the grills, and deep fryers. Of course, artists like Rebuilder, Dalton & The Sheriffs, Nate Perry & Ragged Company, and Latrell James are repping the city hard from the stage throughout the weekend, but on the other side of the […]</p>

On May 22, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers played at the Drake Hotel in Toronto, Ontario. Chiara Savasta opened the show.

Liverpool-based Gen and The Degenerates have announced that they will be dropping off Punk Rock Bowling as well as their upcoming US tour with Bad Waitress and NOBRO due to last minute visa problems. The band announced this in a statement on Instagram which reads, ”We are absolutely gutted to share this news. Just like many international artists hoping to play in the USA we've had last minute visa problems (application still pending). This means we will unfortunately not be able to play at Punk Rock Bowling this year or take part in at least the first week of the Go For Broke tour with our friends NOBRO and BAD WAITRESS. This uncertain outcome is what we as artists are facing. The whole spirit of the tour was about togetherness and finding community in divided times. With that in mind we implore anyone who bought a ticket to see us, to continue to support the other bands, the indie venues and promoters involved in the tour. We promise that if you like us then you will also love NOBRO and BAD WAITRESS! We promise we will see you all as soon as we can get cleared. And please Keep the party going until we can join you again.” NOBRO and Bad Waitress will still be touring the US as planned. Gen and the Degenerates released their album Anti-Fun Propaganda in 2024. See the post in full below.

<p>I don’t know if there’s a better way to describe Christopher McQuarrie’s tenure as Mission: Impossible franchise-runner than “Flanderization.” If you’re not familiar with the term, it comes from the occasionally too-clever fan wiki TV Tropes and originated from an observation made about The Simpsons’ Ned Flanders and how, over the show’s decades-long run, he slowly morphed from a do-gooder neighbor foil to Homer’s boorishness into a caricature of American evangelicals. Such is the nature of Flanderization: once a series […]</p>

<p>Hell has frozen over, and the devils finally can have their long-awaited snowball fight. Crimson blood flows from stones like lava. Pigs have taken to the skies in a V formation. Leopards can now change their spots in any way they see fit. In need of a silk purse? Try a cow’s ear – you can now make one into a fancy handbag. Jelly may now be firmly nailed to the wall, unlocking new possibilities for interior decorators. NASA has […]</p>

The song is off their upcoming album ¯_(ツ)_/¯ which will be out on May 23 via Still On Top Records.

<p>What do you do when you’re in trouble, and were most likely looking forward to hanging out the passenger side of your best friend’s ride, trying to holler at TLC at Boston Calling? Well, you call the Sheriff, of course. Shortly before doors opened to the festival’s 2025 edition at Harvard Athletic Complex on Friday (May 23), it was announced that legendary pop duo TLC, who were slated to perform as part of the first day’s schedule, had to drop […]</p>
