  • This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
    This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.

    Knuckle Puck, from left: Kevin Maida (guitar) Ryan Rumchaks (bass), Joe Taylor (vocals), John Siorek (drums), and Nick Casasanto (guitar, vocals) credit:PAX(bands sponsor) Knuckle Puck Releases Their First Debut Album “Copacetic” Maddie Engler October 27,2016 Knuckle Puck is a pop punk band from the suburbs of Chicago, I.L. The band started off as strictly a cover band, but the band started getting a small following and attention from other bands and started releasing their own EPs in 2011. The band has released the EPs While I stay Secluded,Split and the Weight that Buried You. With their fast and aggressive pop punk sound, the band signed with Rise Records and began work on their first studio album along with new bassist Ryan Rumchaks. Frontman Joe Taylor, guitarists Nick Casasanto and Kevin Maida , along with John Siorek on the drums and Ryan Rumchaks on bass,have been taking the pop punk genre by storm. The band started to get a following after they toured with Neck Deep and State Champs. Currently, the band is touring with The Wonder Years in North American. The band released their debut album “Copacetic” July 31, 2015. The word copacetic is defined as “in perfect sequence or order.” In this thematic album, the title Copacetic is ironic considering the content of the album. The whole album has 11 songs, and all of them are about pain, decay,and breakups. The concept of Copacetic irony continues in the lyrics. In the love­lost song Untitled, Taylor sings“you tore me down, I’ll tell you everything is copacetic.

    Album of the Week: The Orwells’ Disgraceland Rock ‘n’ Roll from Chicago What do you get when a group of kids in their late teens and early 20s grab a bunch of instruments, turn the amps up to 11 and join forces with a lead singer who looks like Robert Plant? You get a rip- roaring, brain-melting rock ‘n’ roll band from Chicago called The Orwells. They have their second album, Disgraceland, out this week and it’s a doozy of a record. Each track has the right amount of grit, angst and devil-may-care attitude to give your ears exactly what they need. If Disgraceland doesn’t kick popular music on its ass in 2014, I might actually lose faith in humanity. It’s that good. Despite being so young, this quintet has been making music together since high school. Seven years later, you could consider them music vets even though they can’t legally drink. What impresses me the most about The Orwells’ new album is the perfect combination of production quality and powerful songs. Ranging from tales about innocent teenage love, to dramatic suicide and one night stands, Disgraceland is as rock ‘n’ roll as it gets. After listening to this beauty, I can’t imagine a better album coming out in 2014. Racist owners of sports franchises, angry middle-aged men throwing rocks at Ferraris, neo-Nazi reality TV one-hit-nevers and people talking about how World War III is going to happen by the end of the decade. We live on a pretty crazy, messed-up planet.
