Well here’s a pretty fun thing for anyone who considers themselves either a gear nerd or a memorabilia nerd or especially a Bad Religion/Redd Kross/Circle Jerks nerd!
The one-and-only Greg Hetson has partnered up with an online auction house called Analogr to unload some gear from his personal collection. There are road cases galore and his Sennheiser wireless unit and the pretty sweet, one-of-a-kind Gibson SG custom painted by Paul Frank. It’s a recreation of Bad Religion’s iconic Suffer album cover, and it’s a guitar that Hetson himself used on stage playing songs from that very album.
Check out the whole collection. The auction closes at the end of next weekend, so you’ve got a little time to dig under your couch cushions and car ashtrays to corral some loose change and score yourself something nice!
It’s Halloween. Fuck yeah. The one thing stopping the horrors of Christmas sliding into Summer and taking over the whole year. We need to keep Halloween sacred. And I don’t mean in a mispronouncing Samhain kinda manner (it’s pronounced ‘Samhain’, by the way). I mean in the kinda way where we lean hard into the […]
It’s Halloween. Fuck yeah. The one thing stopping the horrors of Christmas sliding into Summer and taking over the whole year.
We need to keep Halloween sacred. And I don’t mean in a mispronouncing Samhain kinda manner (it’s pronounced ‘Samhain’, by the way). I mean in the kinda way where we lean hard into the sleaze and sluttiness and fun and excuses to dress how we normally dress but without needing that excuse and fuck that’s an awful sentence but fuck you I’m full of the joys of Halloween so grammar and comprehensibility rules are now suspended alongside the rules about not wearing spooky contact lenses and fake (though convincing) fangs and letting your fingernails grow into claws (except of course *those* ones if you’re in a relationship with a lady because you gotta be a bit considerate still ya know).
Shit.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. Halloween. It’s fucking awesome. And Horrorpunk and vaguely adjacent genres are fucking awesome too.
Except that’s not just the Misfits. This year, fuck the Misfits. You’re not getting any Misfits on my Halloween Horrors playlist because fuck you and fuck them and this is my Top 13 list so I can have what I want on it and this year I don’t want no steenkin Misfits.
Onwards, then.
Well, Dwayne Dibley the lead singer of Sum 41 came back from the dead recently, even though this isn’t him singing, but fuck it, let’s start here. Oh, wait. Dwayne Dibley was the Cat from Red Dwarf? Who the fuck sang in Sum 41 then? Meh. That guy. He’s cool and now one of the un-undead.
I haven’t seen this film but I love this song. And yeah, okay, it kinda steals from the Mistits. I mean Misfits. I mean mmm…tits… goddamn it my misogynist guilt syndrome is kicking in, but the one place where gratuitous nudity and skimpy clothing is allowed, nah expected, is in horror films, and I got no trouble at all if anyone wants to redress the gender balance there with some boys bits and stuff. The thumbnail here was just unexpected and I’m writing drunk again, mkay?
I love Zombina. She’s just really sweet and kind and lovely as a person, but when it comes to horror, she just gets it and understands in a deep and profound way. And she gave me a free t-shirt, so I hope she gets some sort of monetisation from me sending a little traffic her way from this.
No, you can’t have Misfits, but this is sorta channeling Danzig. Kinda.
John Carpenter’s a legend of Halloween music. Because he wrote that di dee diii dee diii diii theme from Halloween and made some awesome scary films too.
But, ya know, I reckon this is actually his best tune.
Why aren’t Creeper one of your favourite bands yet? Baphomedammit they should be. They’re just getting better and better.
And okay, even though I said ‘no feckin’ Misfits’ I’m having to reference them a lot, because I need to tell you that Creeper are what happens when someone’s Dad’s just got some early Misfits and Bat Out Of Hell on cassette in the car and they were brought up on that. They’ve got some Jim Steinman grandeur lurking in their Groovy Ghoulies tendencies and you should be fucking here for it.
And they’re nice kids too. I hope they make it big. I think they will. They’re nearly there.
No notes. You’ll like this one.
Yeah, yeah, I know… the Dickies… but I wanted to send the guys that did this cover some traffic as I think the Dickies are probably doing okay.
You know that meme of Vlad the Impaler discovering marshmallows and putting sticks though them and going ‘well these are fucking great’.
That’s how I felt when I heard this.
Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space are so fucking all in on the horror punk psychobilly thing that you’ve just gotta give them some cred for it. Just listen to this fucking song. They’re not messing about. They really mean it. This is how you do it.
Maybe this is as far from punk as it gets, but it’s the most beautiful piece of music from one of the most wonderful movies and this is my list.
Some people don’t like Ghost out of a weird sense of metal elitism or shit like that. Fuck those guys with a spoon. Ghost are awesome. Zombie pope sax solo. How can you not love that?
And talking of sax solos…
Oh, fuck you, YouTube. Why the hell is this age-restricted? WTF?
Anyway – this song also isn’t punk, but it’s kinda linked with the Lost Boys, which was a fucking groundbreaking film as the punk-rock vampires were pretty iconoclastic in an era that was really only just emerging from Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi as gothic drama queens.
What’s this song got to do with the Lost Boys? Ha. Well, there’s a cartoon bit to start with that sorta goes there, but just wait… wait for it… wait for it… awww yisssss there it is..!!!
I’m a straight guy, but no one wobbles my Kinsey Scale like the sexy sax guy from the Lost Boys, and here he fucking is doing his thing. Total respect to Gunship for thinking… huh… wouldn’t it be cool if we had that guy in one of our videos? Wait… um… why don’t we just email him and see if he’s up for it? And respect to Tim Capello for doing it.
Here’s a remix, just in case you can’t watch the original due to the stupid age-restriction thing. Though… I mean… it’s not like this version isn’t all about the boobage too, but hey – it DOES redress the gender gaze issue a bit as there’s some guy stuff going on there as well. Nice.
BZFOS again. Damn, this is good. C’mon, no, I mean this is REALLY good. This needs to be on shitty compilation CDs you give your Dad for his birthday (are those still a thing?) It’s that good.
I’m running out of shit to say now. I just like these guys. And they’re pretty Halloween.
I just wanna point out that the main chord progression in this is actually exactly the same as Reel Big Fish’s Beer and The Offspring’s Self-Esteem and a Blink 182 song whose name I can’t remember right now too, and I was just referencing it as a classic when I wrote that song that you guys probably will never hear anyway and NOT just ripping this off. That AmFCG thing just works, okay. It’s not stealing.
Ah. Yes. Well. I can kinda see why YouTube might censor this one.
This is fucking sexy werewolf sex music. And there was a whole issue of Phonogram written around it by Kieron Gillen in his indie comic days that was smeggin’ wonderful.
What’s the scariest thing you can think of that can live inside your pants? This is a song about that. Pubic lice scare the crap outta me, anyway. Eh, we’re off the horror punk even more now, I suppose, but fuck you. My list. I reckon this is kinda punk rock though, in its way.
Look. It says Frankenstein, okay. That’s gothic horror, even though this is an utter banger of a dance track. If you came to my Halloween Club Night, I’d be sure as hell playing this. I mean… just fucking check it out. Listen to the state of that. Hold this tune in your head and close your eyes and just swim in how it makes you feel.
I didn’t actually know this was a cover of a Death Cab for Cutie song. I just listened to the original and I reckon they All Along The Watchtower-ed it.
From Dusk Till Dawn is a masterclass in how to be a badass and DGAFing. I fuckin’ DREAM of opening a bar like that and having all that fire and rock ‘n roll and Cheech Marin as the barker at the door being vile and hilarious.
This is the choon from that, and the dude here is also showing how to be a badass.
This is from a kids’ tv show. But you know what? It’s a fuckin’ choon and legit. Respect the Aquabats.
More Creeper. Because.
More Zombina. Because.
Ah. Right then. Pussycat. Pussycat and the Dirty Johnsons should also be fucking huge.
I’d go into the history of Pussycat and how she was created when a teleportation experiment that also involved dark magick went wrong and a cat went into the transportrification matrix instead of the intended pilot but long story short, WHY THE FUCK AREN’T THERE MORE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SHITLOADS OF TALENT AND JUST DECIDE TO FORM A BAND AND DO MAD CREATIVE SHIT EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE A TINY CAT PERSON?!!
My dudes, it’s getting late and my hyperfocus is wearing off now, but I like these guys. They do horror punk good. Yes.
If you’re of a certain age and British, this was a formative moment. If you know, you know.
I have no fucking clue what’s going on with this band and this song, but it’s like… evil fucking screaming black metal… but… damn… that’s melodic…
Yeah, you fucking need Jesus. Or something. I’d make a joke about a Mexican dude called Jésus but I’m not sure I know how to do that without risking some accidental stereotyping because I don’t really know a lot about Mexico except I imagine it’s all kinda like From Dusk Till Dawn.
Well, I said no Misfits, but I lied. Kinda. This is my band. The big dude playing guitar is me. So here’s me playing you some Misfits.
This is also me. And I’m including this as it’s about a baby werewolf and I’m kinda proud of the song, and I think it was the only time it was ever played live, and we didn’t record it properly and the band didn’t go anywhere for reasons.
Look, I’m not making any money out of this, as it’s not even monetised on YouTube or on sale anywhere either, so fuck it. Enjoy.
And Happy Halloween. I wish you a spooky and sexy one.

Green Day surprised fans with an intimate club show last night in Las Vegas, as a warmup for their appearance at this weekend’s When We Were Young Festival. In addition to playing Dookie in its entirety, the band debuted “The American Dream is Killing Me”, a new song they’ve been teasing for weeks now.
Billie Joe Armstrong introduced the song as “the first song off our new album”. It will be released as a single Tuesday, October 24th. Check out a video of Green Day playing “The American Dream is Killing Me” live at Fremont Country Club below and pre-save the single here.
Before leaving Sin City, Green Day will co-headline When We Were Young Fest 2023 alongside Blink-182, who also released their new album One More Time today. A few of the many bands playing the two-day Las Vegas festival include MxPx, Sum 41, The Offspring, and New Found Glory. Go here for more details.
Green Day’s next album will be their 14th, following 2020’s critically acclaimed (totally serious, not sarcasm) Father of All Motherfuckers. They have also teased plans for a tour with Rancid, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the Linda Lindas. Stay tuned for more details on all that fun stuff.
It’s a great day to bring you another kickass DS Exclusive, this time featuring Nashville-native Borrowed Sparks‘ brand new release Let a Little Light In.

It’s a great day to bring you another kickass DS Exclusive, this time featuring Nashville-native Borrowed Sparks‘ brand new release Let a Little Light In. The release is due out tomorrow, but out of the kindness of both our and Borrowed Sparks’ hearts, we’re bringing it to you today. So you’re welcome.
If the Borrowed Sparks name sounds a bit familiar, that’s because we released the first single “Run ‘Til You’re Dust” a few months back. It wasn’t yet public back then, but that single plays a small role in this punk-inspired Americana masterpiece. In hearing this record, I continue to hold strong to my previous statement comparing Borrowed Sparks to “the likes of Brian Fallon, Ben Nichols, and, dare I say, Tom Petty and The Boss himself.”
Mike Bay’s debut studio release came in 2020 in the form of The Prettiest One Left. Let a Little Light In is the very antithesis of what you’d call a sophomore slump. This newly released catalogue of songs adds to an already seemingly flawless track list, leaving their live show with nothing lacking. Don’t get me wrong, their debut made me a fan, but this new full-length made me a fan for life, it’s damn near fuckin’ flawless.

“Run ‘Til You’re Dust” and “Can’t Please Everyone (Hail Mary)”, the record’s first two singles, are two personal favorites. But the piano-driven farewell hymn that is “Goodbye, My Friend” deserves much recognition, further highlighting Bay’s musical versatility.
I highly encourage giving this thing a listen, but I must warn you, it’ll grip you from beginning to end. I, being a huge Brian Fallon, Dave Hause fan, found this release fitting in nicely with what has emerged as a new favorite genre of mine.
Attached below is the brand-spanking new release, along with the incredible music video for “Let a Little Light In”, filmed in the back-woods of our home state of Tennessee. Digital release comes out tomorrow, with some sick colored vinyl out later this fall (preorder now!). Cheers!

Providence, Rhode Island’s Structure Sounds will be releasing their debut album Light Up Your Sorrow this Friday on Wiretap Records. We’re pleased to be premiering the music video for the brand new single “Andrea”. Check it out below and pre-order the record here.
Here’s what Structure Sounds frontman Sean Carney had to say about Light Up Your Sorrow:
“Looking at the collective songs on this album I found a common theme of fresh starts. There are songs about heartbreak, letting go, reflection and hope. Coming off a rough few years we all could use a light at the end of the tunnel and I hope these songs can conjure that feeling.”
Structure Sounds will be playing some shows next month:
Nov 03 @ Dusk – Providence, RI Nov 04 @ Cherry St. Station – Wallingford, CT Nov 05 @ Bar Freda – Queens, NY Nov 15 @ The Vault Music Hall & Pub – New Bedford, MA

Greetings, and welcome to the Dying Scene Record Radar. If it’s your first time here, thank you for joining us! This is the weekly* column where we cover all things punk rock vinyl; new releases, reissues… you name it, we’ve probably got it. Kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, crack open a cold one, and break out those wallets, because it’s go time. Let’s get into it!
Check out the video edition of this week’s Record Radar, presented by our friends at Punk Rock Radar:
Starting us off this week is a new pressing of The Vandals‘ Fear of a Punk Planet, with two snazzy color variants. The pink and black splatter seems to be the Indie Variant, which you can get everywhere, including Amazon. The blue and purple splatter variant can be pre-ordered here. Looks like these should start shipping in November.
Probably one of the most unexpected reissues in a long time, Assorted Jelly Beans’ self-titled debut album is back in print for the first time in 27 years. Get it on red colored vinyl here.
Fat Wreck (and its imprint label) announced a bunch of stuff this week. Up first is a new 7″ from Bad Cop / Bad Cop. Check out one of the two songs below and get the record here.
The Flatliners made a theme song(?) for the San Jose Sharks, and even played it live on opening night in the Shark Tank, which is interesting because I’m pretty sure these guys are Laffs fans. Anyway, “Between Our Teeth” is being released as a 12″ picture disc. It’s $20 but the money goes to charity. Get it here.
Alright, now for the Bottles To The Ground stuff (that’s the Fat imprint label). Fat Mike had a camp fire singalong thing at his mansion with Chuck from the Mad Caddies, Brendan Kelly from the Lawrence Arms and a bunch of other individuals of note. This new 2xLP Campfire at Fatty‘s is a recording of that momentous occasion in mankind’s history. You can buy it here.
I told you about this BTTG label sampler comp a few months ago when it popped up to pre-order on Amazon. Now it’s available on colored vinyl on the label’s webstore so that’s cool.
Fine Dining is an LA punk band with members of some other bands you may know, such as 98 Mute and Eken Is Dead. They’ve got a new record called No Reservations coming out on Felony Records in a couple weeks. We recently premiered the lead single (check it out below). Pre-orders go live here this coming Monday and you’ll have some sweet color variants to choose from.
New Found Glory’s From the Screen to Your Stereo Part 2 has been released on vinyl for the first time ever. There’s a grand total of 5(!) color variants, with three available from the Drive Thru Records webstore, as well as a $40(!) Urban Outfitters exclusive on “Baby Blue with Hot Pink Splatter” colored vinyl, and a UK exclusive variant available from Banquet Records.
Providence, Rhode Island’s Structure Sounds are releasing their debut LP this Friday. Your pals at Dying Scene just might be premiering one last single from the record between now and then; stay tuned! For now, head over to Bandcamp and pre-order Light Up Your Sorrow.
Mississippi ska band Flying Raccoon Suit will be releasing their new album Moonflower on November 3rd through Bad Time Records. Check out a few tracks from the record below and go here to pre-order it on one of two color variants (or get both!).
Canadian punk legends NoMeansNo’s 1989 album Wrong is back in print for the first time in 13 years, with a new pressing on Alternative Tentacles. There are three color variants up to pre-order on the label’s webstore, as well as a red and black splatter variant you can get only get by signing up for the “Squid” or “Plague” tiers on Alternative Tentacles’ Patreon.
Last week, I told you about the 20th Anniversary reissue of Rancid’s Indestructible. At the time, there was only one color variant available, a US Indie variant on “Red w/ Black Galaxy” colored vinyl. A new clear variant of the 2xLP has since popped up on the band’s EU merch store. I’m sure there are many more to come, so I’ll keep ya posted as these trickle in.
Well, that’s all, folks. Another Record Radar in the books. As always, thank you for tuning in. If there’s anything we missed (highly likely), or if you want to let everyone know about a new/upcoming vinyl release you’re excited about, leave us a comment below, or send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, and we’ll look into it. Enjoy your weekend, and don’t blow too much money on spinny discs (or do, I’m not your father). See ya next week!

Hello, and welcome to the September, 2023 edition of Dylan’s Favorite Punk Albums, EPs & Things! This is the column where I, Dylan aka Screeching Bottlerocket, tell you what new punk rock albums, EPs and singles I enjoyed the most this month.
Also, I’d like to once again remind you that this is a collaborative effort with our friends at Punk Rock Radar, with whom I’ll be doing a video version of this Best Of wrap-up each month. If you like discovering awesome new bands as much as I do, be sure to follow Punk Rock Radar on Instagram and YouTube, and keep tabs on their Upcoming Release Calendar.
Here’s our video for September (let us know what your favorite releases of the month were in the YouTube comments):
American Television Scars
This sophomore album from Washington, DC punks American Television is very nice. Some songs are straight up melodic punk, other songs remind me of the Dopamines, a few are kinda orgcore-ish. Buy the record!
RBNX Nothing Here Is Yours
By now anyone who reads these monthly columns is aware of my affection for ska, especially that which is of the skacore variety. RBNX messaged me on Instagram to check out their new record. I did, in fact, check out their new record, and it’s quite fantastic. For fans of Against All Authority, Leftover Crack Cocaine, and all things crusty. Buy the record!
CONTRA CODE Friday Junior
Surprise, surprise – Dylan’s got a skate punk record on his favorite albums list again! Ay listen, this is a bad ass record. Vancouver, BC’s almighty Contra Code returns with their first new album in 8 years! Friday Junior rips; it’s like A Wilhelm Scream meets Megadeth. Buy this record.
THOUSAND OAKS Remnants
More skate punk! Italy’s Thousand Oaks (ft. ex-members of another great band called Jet Market) put out an insane new record earlier this year – go back and check that one out if you missed it. Remnants is a bunch of old songs from EPs and shit; it’s pretty good! “Nest of Vipers” is my favorite song on here. Get it on CD here / digital download on Bandcamp.
RANDOM HAND Random Hand
Random Hand is an excellent ska band from the UK. These guys never disappoint and their new album doesn’t buck the trend. It starts strong with “The Cycle” and only gets stronger from there. This is a bad ass record from a bad ass band. Get it on prettycolored wax.
THE SUBJUNCTIVES Let’s Try Again
The Subjunctives are a pop-pop-punk band from Seattle, fronted by Sicko’s Ean Hernandez. This is their second record. If you like Sicko, early Green Day, or The Muffs, you’ll like this. Buy the record!
WITH HONOR Boundless
In a surprising turn of events, I have picked a melodic hardcore album as one of my favorites of September. Connecticut’s With Honor has been around a long fuckin time but this is the first album I’ve checked out from them. I’d say it’s a good hopping on point! Balls to the wall, full throttle, whatever contrived saying you prefer to use… this shit makes you wanna run through a wall! Buy the record.
SKEETCH Skeetch or Die
German skate punks Skeetch pop off on their third EP Skeetch or Die. These four songs are fuckin awesome. No nonsense Epifat style melodic skate punk. These guys even have a theme song – that’s how you know they’re not fucking around. You can’t buy this record anywhere unfortunately 🙁 But you can listen to it:
TRY AGAIN Still Trying
Here’s another 4 song skate punk EP; these guys are from Quebec City though, not Germany. I think I’ve had a People of Punk Rock Records release on every one of these Best Of lists so far this year. Here’s another one!
NORMY What The Fuck Planet Are These Guys From?
Normy proves that some good things do occasionally come out of the desolate wasteland of sadness and despair that is Cleveland, I suppose. The band’s new EP What The Fuck Planet Are These Guys From? (early frontrunner for best record title of 2023) picks up where their debut EP left off. More early 2000’s infused melodic punk, with anthemic songs like “Idiot” and fast shit like “Right Place, Wrong Time”. I like this record. You should buy this record.
REASON TO LEAVE Rise and Grind
Continuing to flaunt my ever-eclectic music taste, I have opted to include one last skate punk EP on my Best of September listicle thingy. Bri’ish punks Reason To Leave have a new EP out now; it’s called Rise and Grind. These guys kinda remind me a lil bit of Consumed. I guess Pennywise would be a more prominent band I could compare them to as well.Buy the compact disc!!!
Ay listen, I know you fuckers already stopped reading. It’s like 2am right now and my ass hurts from this $75 Staples office chair, so I’mma wrap it up here and skip the singles. There really weren’t that many this month anyway! Check out the Spotify playlist down below, we’ve got the singles on there.
Anywho, that concludes the September installment of the column. Thanks for checking it out! Keep your eyes glued to Dying Scene for all things punk rock and follow our friends Punk Rock Radar on Instagram, YouTube, etc. Join us again next month!

Tampa, FL pop-punks Lychee Camp‘s brand new single “Tell Me A Lie” hit all the major streaming platforms today. Dying Scene is excited to bring you this exclusive premiere of the track’s accompanying music video. Check it out below!
Here’s what frontman Joe Marquez had to say about the song:
“Tell Me a Lie has been a journey! I first wrote this song back in 2017 but never let it see the light of day. Till now with the new lineup. We decided to take matters into our own hands and self-produce the song, and video. The lyrics are super personal and raw, and they’ve been a part of my life for a while now. It’s cool to finally share it with the world. Can’t wait to how people react to it and hope they connect with it just like we have.”
This is the second single the band has released this year, following June’s “Over and Over”. Check out the rest of Lychee Camp’s back catalog on Spotify and grab some merch here.
The third and final day of Riot Fest had a bit more rain and clouds but that seemed totally fitting for the main headliner of the day, The Cure, and Dying Scene has photos for you in case you missed it. We are also showcasing some other amazing bands, including AFI, Earth Crisis, The Bronx, […]
The third and final day of Riot Fest had a bit more rain and clouds but that seemed totally fitting for the main headliner of the day, The Cure, and Dying Scene has photos for you in case you missed it. We are also showcasing some other amazing bands, including AFI, Earth Crisis, The Bronx, Gorilla Biscuits and Fleshwater!
Fleshwater is an alternative post-hardcore band from Georgetown, Massachusetts. Anthony DiDio and Matt Wood are also members of hardcore group Vein.fm.
Straight-edge hardcore band Earth Crisis brought a blazing and intense performance.
The Bronx! If you are lucky enough to embark on Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog Cruise in November you’ll see them there!
Finishing off his three-peat performance weekend, Walter Schreifels and the Gorilla Biscuits had no shortage of energy!
I first saw AFI at Riot Fest 2013; ten years later they still put on one of the best shows. If you haven’t seen them live yet you are really missing out.
The Cure closed out the night with a mesmerizing concert to an emotional crowd of fans that waited for this moment all day.
Check out the full gallery below and revisit day one and day two!

Thanks for the write up! We really love all the support, thanks yall 🙂
