Back in August, I attended a listening event for Jaymyloni's new project, Sibyl Club. When I entered the lobby of the Hotel Crocodile, the air buzzed with anticipation as attendees were offered custom Sibyl Club lanyards and bracelets to mark the occasion. There were even flags to wave around. Nearly everyone came dressed to impress and ready for a good time. For months, Jaymyloni teased Sibyl Club editorial photoshoots, bold graphics, and an escape to a mysterious, sexy paradise. On Halloween,

Hate Knife Wants You to Slash the Suit Mentality and Indulge in a Little Degeneracy
“You don’t have to be a well put-together, classically artistic-looking or sounding person to have something of value to contribute in any way. And I do mean in any way.” Hate Knife is a punk band from Seattle playing loud, raunchy music with a sense of humor, or, as they also put it, “songs for degenerates by degenerates.” The band started to take shape in 2020, when Swan met Tarik, who had never been in a band or played bass but, in Swan’s words, just gave Bassist Energy™. The current lineup

Trash Panda Go Kart Wants to Spread the Joy by Rocking Your Face Off
"If you can draw on something that makes you happy, that gives you strength and energy to keep going despite all of this, then that's important. That's part of what we want to do with our music."

Album Retrospective: Truly's 'Twilight Curtains' (2000)
Once or twice a year, the Spanish label Bang! Records delivers some extraordinary news. While I am forever grateful for Truly's Fast Stories From Kid Coma and Feeling You Up reissues, Bang! Records has done a great job reissuing several obscure records from Pacific Northwest bands such as Love Battery, Bloodloss, and Bundle of Hiss. It seems the label is bringing the Mr. Epp compilation Ridiculing The Apocalypse to vinyl this autumn too. Bang! has released a lot of punk/noise rock from Austral

Rob Janicke Talks His Book "SLACKER" and How Music Can Change Your Life
1991 was a landmark year for music. Nirvana's Nevermind, Pearl Jam's Ten, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Metallica's Black Album - the list goes on... 1991 felt like lightning in a bottle that changed the course of Generation X and the generations that followed. However, how did this happen? 1991, the year that punk (or grunge) broke, didn't happen out of nowhere. For that strike, a perfect storm of circumstances led to an alternative music explosion
