TONIGHT IN PUNK ROCK ETHICS


I'm also thinking about hitting this up tonight at the Galaxy and passing out flyers for the event posted below.
D.I. and Agent Orange are some of the pioneers of the local punk rock scene in Orange County. These guys are probably in their 40s now and they are still charging strong. One of my favorite tracks that truly expresses the famous edgy ambiguously white pride 714 surf punk sound of OC would have to be Hang Ten in East Berlin

Everything Turn's Grey is another sick old school surf punk anthem that gained Agent Orange some notoriety and airplay on KROQ back in the day.

Spring comes early this year

The weather has been so epic here lately that I can't believe its technically still winter. We get longer days as of this saturday the 11th because the government wants people to conserve energy. I'm hoping the surf can "spring forward" with a little bit of Wedge action or something!It's been looking like Lake Laguna the last few days, but I foresee SW'rs on the horizon finalmente!
In other news, Come out and support the ADCSS tomorrow night at the Coachhouse
18 and over. Entry is $20, but you get 2 drink tickets so it kinda works out.
I will be spinning all kinds of stuff all night, with a special set late night.
I def. will be dropping this track by Collie Budz feat. Busta Rhymes that I stole off of Palms Out Sounds, one of the best blogs around.

March means SWers....

Yea,
I haven't posted much up lately.
I got into one of those slumps.
Some call it writer's block, some call it being lazy, whatevs....
But I must say that SOULOC is here to stay!

Anyways, I found this track about a week ago, browsing for tracks on my mac (but I'm typing on a PC right now).
This song screams gritty electronic punk with a dirty synth bassline and classic crooked tooth British vox. Its gives that rallied up punk rock ready-to-circle-pit feeling in the beginning and then kinda turns into more of a pop punk chorus. The song has a slight hint nu-ravish klaxon rock type sound. I came to that conclusion after hearing a couple of their other songs on myspace. Who knows, maybe these guys will take over where the Arctic Monkeys left their synthesizers.

This video premier should be sick.
I remember this kid's first video and he played some of the gnarliest Screamo-Hardcore I've ever heard. He even used the famed keyboarding hardcore band from San Diego THE LOCUST
I remember seeing these guys play when I was like 15. They were so gnarbar. Fuckin screamo, with keyboards! They just go so psycho live! I especially like the track entitled "Gluing carpet to yo..."
