Check out the new track by Small!

Today, we are psyched to debut the new track by Small! Atlanta's Small make crunchy, loud kinda grungy music about banging and being miserable. Their new tune, "KMS-TV" opens with a metal worthy stomp before the band breaks down into a Nirvana-meets-Jesus and Mary Chain smash. It's loud and buzzy and freaky. Speaking to Punknews, the band's Samm Severin said “A lot of our songs are about fucking but this one isn’t. This song is not for the lovers, it’s for the lovers who got stuck being loners."Fight Your Way Inside Me is out June 14 and you can pre-order it here! Meanwhile, check out the new tune below, right now!

‘Challengers’ Review: A breezy, funny and complex tennis epic

<p>Watching Luca Guadagnino’s brilliant new film Challengers, I couldn’t help but ponder one important question: Was Guadagnino an Eastbound and Down fan before he took over the Suspiria remake from David Gordon Green, or did it only happen after they became friends? Because if there’s a prime antecedent for this absurdly funny yet deeply complex tennis picture, it’s the misadventures of the Greatest Fucking Ball Player to Ever Walk the Fucking Earth – Kenny Fuckin’ Powers. Now, this isn’t to […]</p>

Jeff Rosenstock latest artist to drop off of Booze Cruise Festival

Jeff Rosenstock is the latest artist to drop off of German music festival Booze Cruise. He released a statement on Instagram which reads, ”After a lot of thought and offline conversations, we will not be playing this years Booze Cruise. I'm deeply sorry to anyone who was looking forward to seeing us. Free Palestine and stop using our tax dollars to fund fascism and genocide instead of health care.”This follows the organizer of the festival being accused of being a Zionist to which the organizer responded with a statement on Instagram earlier this month (April 15) that reads in part,” Like many Jews and citizens of Israel, I do not support the current Israeli government, nor do I have any knowledge about Israel's settlement plans. The pacifist optimist in me would love to see two peaceful states, Hamas incarcerated, Netanjahu out of office, and Palestinians free to travel, work, and love whomever they choose.So, if you hold a different viewpoint on the existence of Israel, Booze Cruise might not be the festival you want to attend this summer. If you believe that shouting "from the river…" is an acceptable statement, it’s not, in fact it is a crime according to German law. If you post terms like "i$rael", "z!onist", "gen0cide", then fuck all the way off already. If you wish to discuss this further, feel free to reach out.”Toodles and the Hectic Party dropped off the festival on April 15 with a statement on Twitter that reads in part,”We’re no longer playing Booze Cruise in Hamburg or going to Germany next month. If you don’t believe in the liberation of Palestine, don’t book our band, don’t listen to our music, don’t come to our shows”.Teenage Halloween dropped off the festival on April 16 with a statement on Twitter reading,”Teenage Halloween has decided to drop off of Booze Cruise. We’ll also be unable to fulfill any other planned EU dates. We hope to be back to the EU as soon as we can. Thank you for understanding”.You can see all the posts in full below.

Fest Intentions: NICE, a fest packs 80-plus bands across three stages

<p>NICE, a fest might have to update its name to “HOLY SHIT, did you see this fest?” in the near future.

Fishbone fractures, only Angelo and Chris Dowd still in the band

In a large feature at Q, it has been revealed that Fishbone has fractured. According to founding member Chris Dowd, working with fellow founding member Norwood Fisher became untenable as Fisher attempted to take total control of the band. After months of letters between the two sides (Down and singer Angelo Moore on one side, Fisher and co-founder Walter Kibby on the other), the band fractured. The article was not exactly clear on why Moore and Dowd remained in the band while Fisher and Kibby left (as opposed to visa-versa, considering the article pitches Dowd as having control over the group) but the band issued a somewhat vague statement that you can read below. Interestingly, Dowd did somewhat suggest that he hopes everyone can reconcile in the future.

Here’s something fun to get your weekend kicked off a little early. World, meet The Calamatix. The Calamatix, meet the world!

The aforementioned four-piece are a new-on-the-scene “reggae-rooted, punk-flavored quartet” featuring the dynamic Raylin Joy on lead vocals, Adam Porris (Lost City Angels, Far From Finished) on guitar, Clarence “Pocket” Kidd III on drums and William “Matty” Taylor on bass. The project started as a writing project between Joy and – you guessed it, the inimitable Tim Armstrong – before turning into the full-fledged band that’s just about to burst onto the scene.

Armstrong signed the band to his Epitaph imprint, Hellcat Records, and together they’re releasing the first fruits of their labors. It’s a video for the rocksteady/first-wave-ska-inspired “Rootstyle,” and you can check it out below. It’s perfect early summer music. Stay tuned for more from The Calamatix coming down the ‘pike.
