Album Of The Week: Vanishing Life’s Surveillance Walter Schreifels has had an eclectic career. He’s been straying from his hardcore punk roots from his time as the bassist for Youth Of Today, and frontman for Gorilla Biscuits and Quicksand, with the results being pure original material. In the past few years he’s been doing stuff with the bluesy alt-rock act Dead Heavens and released a stripped-down solo record titled An Open Letter To The Scene. Recently, he started a new project called Vanishing Life with …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead’s Autry Fulbright, Bad Religion’s Jamie Miller and Rise Against’s Zach Blair that’s hard hitting alternative rock. Their punk-fueled debut, Surveillance, is coming out on November 11 and it shouldn’t be overlooked. From start to finish, the album oozes vigor and energy. Fast-paced rhythms make each track addictive. It shows Schreifels going back to his roots while incorporating Fulbright’s, Miller’s and Blair’s particular talents to make a truly authentic sound. Nothing is being ripped off and there is nothing cookie cutter about Vanishing Life’s upcoming debut. Surveillance is angst-filled and each song socks it to the eardrums. Supergroups can either be this harmonious melding of different talented musicians or a full-blown disaster from the start. Fortunately, Vanishing Life sounds like everything came together perfectly. The music says it all; most of the time a stellar debut means that the band is getting along just fine. It’s going to be interesting to see what the future holds. Speaking of interesting, let’s explore my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week: With an emphatic bass serving as the anchor, “Realist” is powerful and absolutely electrifying. There’s a bit of an ebb and flow halfway through, but it’s done on purpose and made to be suspenseful. “Thinking Is Weightless” is a sexy song about possession, believe it or not. The groove will take over the senses and you’ll want to press play on this one multiple times. The rhythms supplied by Fulbright on bass and Miller on drums really shine. Another rhythmic track is “Seven Pointed Star,” which walks the fine line of being a stoner metal riffer due to the onslaught of guitars. Vanishing Life will roll through The Met in Pawtucket on November 12 as part of their tour with New Jersey alt-punks Neaux. Southeastern Massachusetts punks Zero Holds will open things up, so make sure to get there early. It all sounds like a kickass show to be at on a Saturday night. While you’re at the show, pick up a copy of Surveillance. It’ll give your music taste that jolt it’s been craving.

Nytt Album Med Rival Schools - Pedals Släpps 30/3
2011-03-17 17:32 CET Nytt album med Rival Schools - Pedals släpps 30/3 Två magiska ord som utlöser yviga gester och fåniga leenden: Walter Schreifels. Rival Schools är för post-hardcore under 2000-talet vad Quicksand var för samma genre femton år tidigare. Och inget underligt med det då det är samma man bakom båda projekten. Just det, Walter Schreifels. Hans digra musikkarriär i akter som legendariska hardcorebanden Youth of Today och Gorilla Biscuits och melodiska CIV mynnade ut i hyllade Rival Schools. Bandet bildades i slutet av nittiotalet och släppte sin första, och enda officiella, fullängdare i början av tjugohundratalet. Det faktum att de senare var splittrade under ett antal år samt vägrade släppa sitt andra – men inspelade – studioalbum har gjort dem till en besatthet bland fansen. När skivan senare läckte på fildelarsajter världen över blev bandet lika mytomspunnet som Loch Ness-odjuret. Rival Schools har förutom Schreifels en inte helt okänd lineup i Sam Siegler från CIV, Cache Tolman från Iceburn och Ian Love. Sedan 2008 har Rival Schools återförenats och spelat live igen. De gästade Sverige med ett bejublat framträdande på Stockholmsfestivalen Where the Action is. Och nu är det dags igen. Ett nytt album ska nämligen släppas 28/3 och Schreifels och co. är på intåg igen! Pedals har gått ut i PlayMPE. För fysiska ex kontakta David Hellberg. Den 6:e april spelar Rival Schools på Debaser Slussen i Stockholm. Warner Music International, a leading company in national and international repertoire operates through numerous international affiliates and licensees in more than 50 countries.

Here Were Homeless People All Around Us and a Lot of Fighting Going On
GUILT Ati Moran (Breaking Free Fanzine) on hardcore: Hardcore for me is definitely an idea, an expression of feelings and [an attitude of] never giving up on what you believe in. [It’s] an emotion you feel strong about that no one can take away from you! I also be- lieve hardcore has a lot to do with the people I met in the last 22 years who were apart of the scene - they weren’t everyday people. Besides hardcore being music, it was a place to get away from the normal world! Charles Maggio (Rorschach, Gern Blandsten Records) on hardcore: John Brannon said it best: hardcore is the “blues of the suburbs.” QUICKsaND Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits) on fighting/ disagreements in hardcore: In the scene there were homeless people all around us and a lot of fighting going on. There was the whole punks versus skins thing. There was that back drop, so it was a pretty obvious place to say something about it, and it’s cool to have a scene that allows for that discussion. That’s what gives it power in a way. The hardcore scene is like high school. There’s the typical bullshit that goes on everywhere, but it’s cooler because it’s like a musical high school and there’s something kind of romantic about that. There was also a lot of back and forth between hip- hop and hardcore at the time, too. There was a time when there was a lot of racism but there was a whole backlash against that.

Music Recommendation and Discovery in the Long Tail
MUSIC RECOMMENDATION AND DISCOVERY IN THE LONG TAIL Oscar` Celma Herrada 2008 c Copyright by Oscar` Celma Herrada 2008 All Rights Reserved ii To Alex and Claudia who bring the whole endeavour into perspective. iii iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Xavier Serra, for giving me the opportunity to work on this very fascinating topic at the Music Technology Group (MTG). Also, I want to thank Perfecto Herrera for providing support, countless suggestions, reading all my writings, giving ideas, and devoting much time to me during this long journey. This thesis would not exist if it weren’t for the the help and assistance of many people. At the risk of unfair omission, I want to express my gratitude to them. I would like to thank all the colleagues from MTG that were —directly or indirectly— involved in some bits of this work. Special mention goes to Mohamed Sordo, Koppi, Pedro Cano, Mart´ın Blech, Emilia Gómez, Dmitry Bogdanov, Owen Meyers, Jens Grivolla, Cyril Laurier, Nicolas Wack, Xavier Oliver, Vegar Sandvold, JoséPedro Garc´ıa, Nicolas Falquet, David Garc´ıa, Miquel Ram´ırez, and Otto Wüst. Also, I thank the MTG/IUA Administration Staff (Cristina Garrido, Joana Clotet and Salvador Gurrera), and the sysadmins (Guillem Serrate, Jordi Funollet, Maarten de Boer, Ramón Loureiro, and Carlos Atance). They provided help, hints and patience when I played around with the machines. During my six months stage at the Center for Computing Research of the National Poly- technic Institute (Mexico City) in 2007, I met a lot of interesting people ranging different disciplines.

swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM swissted swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer mike joyce, owner of stereotype design in new york city. drawing from his love of punk rock and swiss modernism, two movements that have (almost) nothing to do with one another, mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters. each design is set in lowercase berthold akzidenz-grotesk medium (not helvetica). every single one of these shows actually happened.the swissted book is finally out from quirk books—get it here! http://www.swissted.com/ Page 1 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM http://www.swissted.com/ Page 2 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM ramones at the palladium, 1978 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 3 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM descendents at fender’s, 1987 agent orange at goodies, 1987 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 4 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM jawbreaker at irving plaza, 1995 patti smith at max’s kansas city, 1974 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 5 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM refused at the p.w.a.c., 1996 t.s.o.l. and others at fender’s, 1986 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 6 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM misfits at gildersleeves, 1983 lush at the fillmore, 1994 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 7 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM yo la tengo at cbgb, 1993 rollins band at the outhouse, 1990 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 8 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM david bowie at cleveland music hall, 1972 meat puppets at the roxy theatre, 1986 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 9 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM built to spill at fox theatre, 1997 modest mouse at speak in tongues, 1996 http://www.swissted.com/ Page 10 of 135 swissted 4/3/13 11:41 PM nick cave & the bad seeds at fillmore / 1989 the velvet underground at max’s k.c.

Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

The Bands of Detroit
IT’S FREE! TAKE ONE! DETROIT PUNK ROCK SCENE REPORT It seems that the arsenal of democracy has been raided, pillaged, and ultimately, neglected. A city once teeming with nearly two million residents has seemingly emptied to 720,000 in half a century’s time (the actual number is likely around 770,000 residing citizens, including those who aren’t registered), leaving numerous plots of land vacant and unused. Unfortunately, those areas are seldom filled with proactive squatters or off-the-grid residents; most are not even occupied at all. The majority of the east and northwest sides of the city are examples of this urban blight. Detroit has lost its base of income in its taxpaying residents, simultaneously retaining an anchor of burdensome (whether it’s voluntary or not) poverty-stricken, government-dependent citizens. Just across the Detroit city borders are the gated communities of xenophobic suburban families, who turn their collective noses at all that does not beckon to their will and their wallet. Somewhere, in the narrow cracks between these two aforementioned sets of undesirables, is the single best punk rock scene you’ve heard nary a tale of, the one that everyone in the U.S. and abroad tends to overlook. Despite receiving regular touring acts (Subhumans, Terror, Common Enemy, Star Fucking Hipsters, Entombed, GBH, the Adicts, Millions of Dead Cops, Mouth Sewn Shut, DRI, DOA, etc), Detroit doesn’t seem to get any recognition for homegrown punk rock, even though we were the ones who got the ball rolling in the late 60s. Some of the city’s naysayers are little more than punk rock Glenn Becks or Charlie Sheens, while others have had genuinely bad experiences; however, if the world is willing to listen to what we as Detroiters have to say with an unbiased ear, we are willing to speak, candidly and coherently.
