Aston Stephens is a UK based independent record label owner. Boss Tuneage Records has been putting out music for well over 30 years. Aston and I met by chance I think through either Brock Pytel or John Kastner in the early 2000's. Aston put out the first Four Square Record titled "When Weeks Were Weekends" in the fall of 2001. I do know that Aston and I might have talked on the phone once before the deal was struck. I might of had email back then.

Aston is important to the punk rock and independent scene in North America and Europe as he put allot of people together with no agenda or method only to connect people and build a network. A fun conversation with a soldier of punk rock!

The Von Tramps are an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2015. The group is fronted by guitarist/vocalist Jenna Enemy and features Chelsea Oxborough on guitar and Krissandra Anfinson on bass. The band emerged from the Minneapolis underground punk scene and first gained notoriety for their high-energy live shows and irreverent behavior.

The Von Tramps have an eclectic style offering a new take on the Minneapolis underground sound which combines sludgy Ramones-esk punk tunes with cheeky lyrics and introduces a new wave of rude girl ska. The band's second full length studio album "GO" will be released on SBÄM records this spring.

Following the successes of their first full length record 2018 The Future is Female and the 2019 follow-up EP Sun's Out: Strung Out! The Von Tramps are back with GO, a brand-new concept album explored in 12 explosive tracks. With powerhouse vocals by Jenna Enemy, screaming guitars by Chelsea Oxborough, and thunderous bass by Krissandra Anfinson - The Von Tramps' GO is next year's must-have and a true original.  GO was recorded and mixed in Fort Collins, CO by acclaimed producer Dustin Phillips, and mastered in Minneapolis, MN by Bruce Templeton of Microphonic Mastering. The Von Tramps iconic rude and riot grrl blended sound paired with anthemic lyrics makes GO the breakout album of next year.   

"GO is all about momentum", Enemy says. "Coming out of the pandemic, all we could think about was how far we could go, when we could go. By being forced into a break from our everyday lives we were also forced to reflect on it; and ultimately found the mundane can trap your soul, if you're not careful. We hope ‘GO’ inspires future listeners to break through these pressures in order to find a more honest version of life lived fully and creatively.“

The band’s energetic front man Georgij Makazaria and his vibrant appearance inspires people to bounce frenetically, dance,pogo and scream their heads off. He is supported by the precise rhythm and driving force of drums, bass and guitar as well as the melody coming from violin, sax and the potete (a unique bass-trumpet). Together, the talented musicians follow their passion for live music and the classic melodies of Eastern Europe. Russkaja play with Slavic clichés and melancholic minor notes which pick up speed and invite you to join the party. The beat of the so-called turbo polka with a Jamaican ska-offbeat makes the people’s feet and souls celebrate, dance and happily forget all their woes. Excursions into punk rock, metal and dub-step atrracts everyone that hears this band. Since 2008, Russkaja have been the house band of the Austrian late night show “Willkommen Österreich”, where they accompany the performances of star musicians in their own musical style – russifying and balkanizing their

In this episode y buddy Lee and I recap the Beatles "Get Back" three part series that is streaming on Disney Plus. We take a somewhat deep dive into our favourite parts of the documentary. Get Back was made up from many hours of lost footage from the original Doc by the same name that was filmed in 1969. The original movie was criticized for showing a downside of the Beatles as well as documenting their eventual breakup. Peter Jackson took all of this film and showed the lighter side of the band that drink gallons of tea and smoked countless ciggies. every shot is captivating and compelling to any Beatles fan on the planet!

Aaron Pendergast is a documentary film maker who is making a movie on the Blasting Room. The Blasting room is a Recording studio based in Fort Collins, Colorado that was founded by Bill Stevenson of The Descendents.

Over the last 27 years, some of the biggest names in punk music have trusted a tiny, bare-bones, space in Fort Collins, Colorado to record, mix and master their stuff. The Blasting Room, a new documentary from Static Age Productions and Kreativ Media, tells the story of that legendary studio and is offering exclusive giveaways for music fans who support the film.

In 1994, tired of the polluted, expensive, congested Los Angeles area, members of the band ALL took the advance cash they received from their record label and bought an old furniture warehouse to use as their musical home base. Before long, punk’s biggest acts were sweetening their sounds at the Blasting Room. The documentary features decades of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos and video, plus interviews with members of more than 25 groups, including Descendents, ALL, Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, Good Riddance, NOFX, Less Than Jake, Hot Water Music and Lagwagon.
