'A Common Ground' - Video documentary

So a few years back i had the pleasure of attending the FEST in florida FEST 6 as it were, my favourite venue at the whole thing was the COMMON GROUNDS it recently closed down as a music venue and i thought id post this short for everyone to see how cool it was!

Common Grounds was the heart of the Gainesville Music Community for 15 years. It closed its doors on June 26, 2011. This mini-documentary was created to provide a snapshot of the legendary life of this music venue.
Filmed and edited by Eric Atria
Eternal Thanks to Nigel, Jason, and everyone at Common Grounds!!

Title Fight Live Videos

So we recently had the guys in TITLE FIGHT come to play at the Southampton Joiners, whilst trying to do lights at the same time with one hand i also managed to snap these two videos, i hope you enjoy.

Teenage BottleRocket Review

Teenage Bottlerocket - Mutilate Me

(Fat Wreck Chords 2011)

Mutilate Me is the new EP from Teenage Bottlerocket, a pop punk band from Wyoming who have recently been described as the only redeeming feature of Descendents’ recent London show. TBR offer a brand of pop-punk from the past. Their resemblance to The Ramones, Screeching Weasel and The Riverdales is utterly undeniable. This little EP is the perfect introduction into the band; the two original songs on the record really represent what the band is about, snotty singing with hooked filled riffs holding together three chord wonders that make it impossible not to tap your feet to.

Despite its horror punk connotations it’s actually a really good little EP. Spanning less than six minutes, it’s over almost as soon as it starts but commands a few replays. The opening track “Mutilate Me” is as catchy as you’d expect but has the staying power that makes you wish it was part of an album rather than a ridiculously short EP. “Punk Rock House of Horrors” is everything I love about Teenage Bottlerocket; almost falsetto high vocals, fast and hook driven, it’s definitely the favourite of the three songs. The third any final track of Mutilate Me is a cover of Henchman by Bad Religion. It seems that Teenage Bottlerocket have managed the almost impossible task of making a fast Bad Religion song even faster than the original.

All in all this a great EP and well worth a listen, but it doesn’t live up for the band’s latest and greatest full length “They Came From The Shadows”.

New Epic Social Distortion Video for 'Machine Gun Blues'

Social Distortion have premiered a breathtaking new short film, an extended music video for the track “Machine Gun Blues” with a red carpet premiere event & live set in Hollywood last week. The band are currently preparing for a full European tour this summer, which stops in London for a performance at the Shepherds Bush Empire on July 7th.

The short film for “Machine Gun Blues” starts in 1934 Los Angeles as Mike Ness and his “Blood and Sorrow” crew of gangsters knock off a bank, only to realize the feds are hot on their trail. Shot at the famous Union Station in downtown LA and surrounding areas, the gang is chased through rolling, dusty roads to their hideout for an explosive showdown. Watch the video here.
Following the release of the band’s critically acclaimed seventh album, ‘Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes’, Social Distortion are ready for a busy summer schedule of festivals and European shows. Be sure to catch the band in London this July for what is to be a special one-off UK headline show.
