San Diego punks Anakin have teamed up with Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Pierre on their new single “Spaced Out.” According to Brad Chancellor, “The song “Spaced-Out” is really just about my lifelong battle with severe anxiety and somewhat mild paranoia.

I’m finally feeling like I’m taking back control of my life after all those years of living in a shell of myself.”

I was a total music nerd when I was a kid. I listened to absolutely nothing except golden oldies and Weird Al until I was in high school. I stumbled onto punk rock when I was 15 and considered myself musically "cool" but now that I think about it, starting a punk music blog is pretty much the pinnacle of fanboy geekdom - so, still a music nerd it seems. But I digress. I was telling you about golden oldies. I never lost my love for the rock 'n roll of the 60s, which is why Italy's The Peawees are striking such a chord with me. These guys channel the greats like Elvis, Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly but do it with decidedly punk rock rock flare. They're not "new", they've been kicking around the punk scene since 1995 but they're new to Dying Scene and on September 14th they're dropping their new album "Moving Target" via Rum Bar Records. Put your dancing shoes on and give a couple of the tunes a listen here.
