Today we are stoked to bring you the premiere of the new video by New York punk rockers Bad Mary! The video is for their song “Want What I Want” and was directed by guitarist David Henderson. Speaking about the song and video, David said, "Well, the song is about doing your own thing and not caring what people think – and something we always wanted to do was tour Japan, and we were lucky enough to put together two tours there. Also, of course, I wanted something fun that would evoke the energy and vibe of the song – so I used a bunch of video clips from our gigs over in Tokyo. The whole scene and all the bands there were so welcoming and just fantastic – so this video was a way of showcasing that and sharing that energy and love. Live life, be kind, and have fun.” ”Want What I Want” is off Bad Mary’s split with Mega Infinity, The Mega Bad Disaster Party, which is out now via Ska Punk International. Watch the video for “Want What I Want” below!

<p>This fine, freezing January won’t congeal Damndest’s rock vortex. The Boston band this past Friday (January 24) unleashed new EP No, besides, a roiling two-track project that evokes tumult even in its more meditative moments. EP opener “Until You’re Free” ducks into a melee of post-punk guitar riffs from 00:01, while accompanying track “Nesting Doll,” stretches the release’s mesmeric quality into a period of reflection. Presented together, No, besides, is a proper post-punk kick in the pants, set against a […]</p>

<p>“I can’t be told, I can’t be dressed, I can’t be held, I can’t be fed, I can’t be whipped.” That’s James McGovern breathlessly and brazenly in The Murder Capital’s new powderkeg tune “The Fall,” the Irish post-punk luminaries’ first new music of 2025 and the latest chapter from their forthcoming third album Blindness. The new record is out February 21, and we’ve already absorbed a pair of Fall ’24 tracks, like the neon grayscale glow of “Can’t Pretend To Know” […]</p>
