Amyl and the Sniffers took Roadrunner Boston by storm with an absolute powerhouse of a line up featuring themselves, Die Spitz, and Gymshorts. The themes of the night were clearly quick wit, raw passion, and a big middle finger to creeps everywhere.

Australian punk band Amyl and the Sniffers absolutely delivered in Boston on this Saturday night. Front person Amy Taylor brought her brand of In Your Face stage presence and undeniable charm.

This band is pure chaos on stage and in the crowd.

Must see punk band.

Die Spitz was an excellent add on this bill. With their lyrics, look, and honestly just their whole vibe, they made playing before Amyl & The Sniffers a breeze. This band is just as badass with their own sound.

Check out their 2023 seven song album Teeth.

Rhode Island based rock band Gymshorts opened the night with great choruses and a bouncy energy. Crazy to have seen this band play Great Scott in 2018 to kicking off the night at Roadrunner.

Dying Scene Gallery: Mosswood Meltdown Day Two (Oakland, CA 7/7/24)

Your correspondent does choose to cover multi-day festivals with hordes of bands way too often. Day two of this year’s Mosswood Meltdown continued the theme with blazing sun (if slightly cooler than the previous day) and another nine acts. However we did miss the first two, possibly because of attending an after-party the night before. […]

Your correspondent does choose to cover multi-day festivals with hordes of bands way too often. Day two of this year’s Mosswood Meltdown continued the theme with blazing sun (if slightly cooler than the previous day) and another nine acts. However we did miss the first two, possibly because of attending an after-party the night before. We’re old! Go see our coverage of Day One of this amazing festival.

Die Spitz were the first band we caught on Day Two. This foursome of young women from Austin, TX have toured with Amyl and The Sniffers, played the party stage at Punk Rock Bowling and supported The Subhumans in Vegas. They continue to astonish.

Up next were Bush Tetras, a reunion of the New York No Wave band, formed in 1978.

Egyptian Lover is an American musician, vocalist, producer and DJ, and was a part of the L.A. dance music, electro, and rap scene in the early 1980s.

The Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes appeared with an all-teen backing band from The Paul Green Rock Academy in Woodstock, NY

Obviously your correspondent is no expert on hip-hop, although we can recognize talent when we see it. Big Freedia has bringing New Orleans ‘Bounce Music’ since 2011 and was highly entertaining.

Pure Hell started in Philadelphia in 1974, one of the first proto-punk bands of the ’70s, playing with The New York Dolls and, later, with Sid Vicious in 1978. Mosswood was their first West Coast show in 30 years.

The Mummies roared onto the stage on a motorcycle and carriage, which fairly fits their straight-up insanity. Recently interviewed in Creem Magazine they disclosed that they are working on a movie. God help us.

Dying Scene Gallery: Punk Rock Bowling Day Three – Gogol Bordello, Stiff Little Fingers, Quicksand and more (Las Vegas 5/27/24)

I’m not saying we were hungover, but we made it down to the pool party at the beginning of Day Three and couldn’t bear to leave the shade by the bar, let alone get up front by the bands. After a little fortification we made it to the main festival in time for … Stiff […]

I’m not saying we were hungover, but we made it down to the pool party at the beginning of Day Three and couldn’t bear to leave the shade by the bar, let alone get up front by the bands. After a little fortification we made it to the main festival in time for …

Stiff Little Fingers, original ’70s punks from Belfast who were rocking it in the overly bright sunshine…

Followed by Gogol Bordello who are fantastic live every time we’ve seen them.

From there we moved to the second “party” stage to catch Quicksand, post-hardcore from New York, new to us and and such a fascinating sound.

The headliner for the final day were Madness, but we were not getting back near the main stage, so we only have the photo at the top of this page, though hearing all the old classics was fun, even from a distance. From there we headed to Backstage Bar & Billiards on Fremont Street for a final club show:

Bad Ass are a bunch of young punks from Riverside, CA with an amazing look, and opened up the show

Up next, Die Spitz are an astonishing all-woman punk band from Austin, TX who played the party stage at the main festival earlier in the day. We were completely blown away and will be watching these ladies in future.

And finally, the Subhumans from the UK, good old hardcore and friends of ours, finished up our 2024 Punk Rock Bowling experience.
