So, Myke Terry is not “technically” a punk. There is an overlap, though, with hardcore and metal. Plus, it’s hard not to mention Myke Terry when you think of musicians that have done one of the most punk rock things a person can do—pursue their dream of making music, no matter what. To get to where he is now Myke Terry followed his passion for music even when the road was hard. He persevered through a period of homelessness and hard times so the world could hear his voice.

When you think of ‘Black & Punk’ one of the first names to jump into the moshpit is Poly Styrene. As the singer of 70’s British punk band ‘X-Ray Spex’, Poly Styrene’s powerful voice is mind-blowing on the band’s four singles and one studio album ‘Germfree Adolescents’.

Her later musical contributions maintain her bold spirit and are bursting with musical exploration. She went on to record two solo albums, an EP, and several singles. She… Read more »

The tracklist for NINE definitely sounds like it will be a good time at the very least. That title of track 13 though – I’m here for it. 1. “The First Time” 2. “Happy Days” 3. “Heaven” 4. “Darkside” 5. “Blame… Read more »

Gather around the glow from our collective smartphones young whipper-snappers and I’ll tell a tale of the olden days. It was the year 2002 and iPhones hadn’t been invented yet. A T-mobile “sidekick” would set you back about $250 bucks, it had a full QWERTY keyboard hidden under a full screen that would twist open with the flick of a finger. “Social Networking” sites were the thing of the future. A new and improved way of keeping in contact with people you know near and far. Friendster somehow was collectively thought of as uncool, as the most amazing new way… Read more »
