NERVE AGENTS put the kibosh on 20th Anniversary of "Days of the White Owl." STEVE SOTO tribute to feature members of SOCIAL DISTORTION, JOYRIDE, DEATH BY STEREO, LAGWAGON, and BAD COP/BAD COP as a benefit to SAVE OUR STAGES. THURSDAY recruits Frank Iero from MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE. Plus, we discuss how socially distanced festival concerts are popping up internationally, whether punk rock algorithms are a threat to freedom of choice, and the merits of paying to get rid of pop-up ads. Also, new music from LA MACHINA, GET DEAD, DESTROY BOYS, and GRUMPSTER.
