Flat Tires - Payin' Dues... Again

Yee Haw!! Time to kick up some dust today, y'all! The Flat Tires are four good ol' boys from North Carolina that started churning out some down home southern punk long about 2005. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked this kinda stuff back in the day, but I love it now.

Alcohol What Would I Do Without You

Bricktop - Born To Brawl

These mofo's from Tucson, Arizona have the old school street punk thing down. Drinkin' and fightin'. This is their debut release, from 2008.

We Don't Care What You Say

The Cheats - Life's Short

The Cheats, from Steel City, USA deliver a healthy dose of what I believe is nowadays called Punk 'N' Roll. Whatever you call it, you're guaranteed a good time. Here's what they have to say about themselves:

Born in the rusty ashes of the once blue collar steel town of Pittsburgh, PA in 2001, The Cheats are pure rock n’ roll, tailor-made for beer baths, shout-alongs and the inevitable purge after a long, hard night of drinking. Guitar driven, Marshall stack thumping, good time Punk Rock n’ Ruckus at its best.

... But Don't Give Yourself Away

The Strap-Ons - Geeking Dream

From the gutters of Norfolk, Virginia comes the Strap-Ons. OK, so technically the Strap-Ons started in the 90's with a different name. And that's a technicality I'm overlooking. Snotty, rude, wonderful scum punk rock 'n' roll.

And The Baby Kept Screaming

Nunstalker - Defrocked

Well it's Sunday, so that must means it's time for some old fashioned blasphemy! This Vancouver band came and went rather quickly in the early aughts. A bit more "listener-friendly" than I'd expect from a band named Nunstalker. Still, a good blast of modern punk/hardcore.

I'm On A Mission From God

Hollywood Hate - Product Of Our Environment

Another band made up from remnants of other bands is Southern California's Hollywood Hate. Formed around the turn of the century and lingering still today. I don't know about you, but this shit really takes me back to the mid 80's. Great throwback hardcore with a modern feel.

We're Just Spreadin' The Hate

Mr. Green All Stars - Seeing Is Believing

As we throw out the old calendars for new ones we've chosen to celebrate bands of the new millennium. To the best of my limited knowledge all January bands were born and maybe even died in the wild and wonderful aughts.

We start with a punk rock super group, of sorts. But don't just take my word for it. Read what this press release has to say about it:

"Never before have these legendary musicians ever shared the stage at the same time so fans will really be in for a big treat. Get ready for the funky punk/ metal lines of bass guitarist Norwood Fisher of FISHBONE? For the snarling blasts of thrash metal and virtuoso guitar leads provided by Rocky George of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES? Pounding punk rock metal rhythms from D.H. Peligro of the DEAD KENNEDYS and last but certainly not least, the jaw-dropping stage performance and vocal range from H.R. of the BAD BRAINS as well as vocalist Hawaiian Lyon from HUMAN RIGHTS and BIG MOUNTAIN."

Enjoy their ripping first (and I believe ONLY) release from 2006.
