In this interview we talk to Gross Polluter, who used to be Smogtown. They answer a bunch of questions, such as: What happens when you look in a mirror and it no longer shows a drug-accelerated, youthful punk kid hell-bent on destroying suburbia? and What happens when you live in a neighborhood that’s so apolitical, when they talk of presidents, they’re talking of CEOs?

Thirsty Thursdays Presented by The Dollar Boys is a highly unorganized group of individuals who get together to play the best and worst of old and new, punk, hardcore, and god knows what else. Punk podcast. Come for the music, stay for the memories.

Images of the Masque, Black Flag, Chinatown, the Circle Jerks, the Olympic Auditorium, and The Decline of the Western Civilization spring to mind when I think of the crucial moments in the early L.A punk and hardcore scene. The one person who links these diverse and disparate scenes is vocalist Keith Morris. You can’t tell the complete story of L.A. punk without him.

1919 Hemphill was a DIY space in Fort Worth, TX from 2002-2017. A whole bunch of bands played there, some you have heard of and some that nobody has heard or will never hear of. Rick has compiled a selection of jams by folks who played at 1919 Hemphill in its infancy.

Sweet Knives began as a Lost Sounds reboot, playing Alicja’s songs. When Alicja, Rich, and John Garland got back together, they quickly realized that they didn’t want to be restricted to solely being a cover band of their old band. They still play with the arcing, tense, dirty-crackle lightning of Lost Sounds, but are also writing new songs that reflect where they are now.

In My Head.

Anyways, here's a batch of songs that came out within the last year. So if you have a hard time staying current, or have a friend who's given up on punk, listen to this! Maybe they don't make punk like they used to because it's even better now. Hope you find something you enjoy.

Bill and Anthony have been friends for a long time, but needed an excuse to hang out more, and that is how podcasts are born. Listen in while they discuss the defining moments of our life and times–or–just play punk songs and talk shit in Anthony’s garage. Either way smash the subscribe button on your Zune and don’t forget to donate to Razorcake for making it all possible!
