Put 'em together and you have a new kind of anarchy that's both fun and ferocious. Punk pioneers Greg Hetson (Bad Religion, ), (NOFX), Derek O'Brien (, Agent Orange) and Steve Soto (Adolescents, 22 FREE MUSIC Jacks) have done just that with Punk Rock Karaoke and we recently joined the pandemonium Franz Nicolay - "World/Inferno Vs. the End of the Evening" again 12 years after the first incarnation (it started back at Fred Eric's now-defunct Vida restaurant Funeral Party - "Carwars" on Hillhurst on New Year's Eve '96, and we were there!). The loose concept has evolved into a Winter Gloves - "Let Me Drive" full-fledged music project, with regular club gigs and the release of the band's first-ever The Takeover UK - "Christmas in LA" The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - "The double-disc CD/DVD, which, like the shows, features a slew of luminaries and novices alike Sun Ain't Shining No More (Thomas pumpin' up the pit (November 13-21, 2008)." Gold Remix)" Girl in a Coma - "Blue Christmas" Findlay Brown - "I Had A Dream (Solo Acoustic)" Elsewhere, in a Campus Circle live review, Ebony March added: "The show itself is GENIUS. You Oh Captain My Captain - "Big Vans and Aeroplanes" take Derek O'Brien from Social D, Steve Soto from Agent Orange/Adolescents fame, Hetson and Sune Rose Wagner - "Beruset Og Forhadt" NOFX's Eric Melvin and watch them back John and Suzie Q Public as he or she sings the hits The Deep Vibration - "Coal Mine" from punk's heyday. Wrap your heads around THAT one, people. The hardest punks and more > kids this side of SoCal took the stage one-by-one and belted out the best jams of the genre. All it took was a signature next to their desired song and a shot of hooch for courage. Just CONTESTS one warning for future reference: this is NOT karaoke for the Avril Lavigne or Hot Topic set Peasant (November 21, 2008)." Punisher: War Zone Bacon Brothers Featuring 10 classic punk songs, the Punk Rock Karaoke CD/DVD--released via MVD more > Entertainment--includes guest vocals from fellow punk veterans Dave King (Flogging Molly), Dicky Barrett (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones), Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), Joey Cape (), Jordan Pundik (New Found Glory), (Alkaline Trio), Mike Herrera (MxPx), Sean Wheeler (Throw Rag), Spike Slawson (Swingin' Utters, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes) and REVIEWS Warren Fitzgerald (The Vandals). The DVD portion captures the magic of the Punk Rock Karaoke Ufomammut - "Idolum" live show. With user-friendly vocal on/off options, fans can easily follow along to the lyrics as they ohGr - November 24, 2008 Eagles of Death Metal - "" appear on the screen and learn the songs by using the added vocal option to hear the songs with Akimbo - "Jersey Shores" the guest singers. Taking it up a notch in hilarity, the Punk Rock Karaoke DVD videos spoof the Megapuss - "Surfing" traditional cheesy backgrounds often seen on most karaoke machines. Instead of couples holding Beneath The Sky - "The Day the Music Died" hands on the beach or puppies jumping through flowerbeds, Punk Rock Karaoke has images of a XX Teens - "Welcome to Goon couple romping in the back of a junkyard-parked pickup truck while guzzling 40s! Island" Isobel Campbell & - "Sunday at Devil Dirt" Third Degree - "Punk Sugar" Giraffes - "Prime Motivator" Related Headlines: more > Pick Up The Phone Tour Teams Alkaline Trio, Anberlin, Single File For Depression, Suicide Awareness (December 23, 2008) Punk Rock Karaoke To Release Debut CD/DVD Set (October 21, 2008) Legacy Recordings Announce Vinyl LP Reissue Rollout For Fall (September 17, 2008)
