Matt Sweeting moved to Gainesville in the early 90s and has been a solid contributor to the music scene since that time. He hosted shows at UTILITY HOUSE prior to taking over the HARDBACK CAFE (with Drew) from Alan Bushnell. He co-founded WAYWARD COUNCIL (with me, Laura and Don).

HOP ALONG is such a great band and the sound on this is so perfect. It's painful to see the herd of squares just totally missing it. Way to go, Seattle.

A good write-up - nice piece of journalism - except for the dramatized mystery part. B isn’t really that hard to find, since he’s been active in the Oakland scene with No Statik and other bands for quite some time.
The search for the mythologized duo that lampooned the hardcore scene and went undocumented, until now.
Cross-posting some MWP videos over at YouTube. Have you checked out Dreamdecay (Seattle, WA) yet? Not sure if they’ve made it to the East coast yet, but they should.

Was excited to see new releases by Color TV, Perfect P***y and The Men - but they all turned out to be false associations in Apple Music. Super bummer. At least Ted Leo has a new album you can check out!

Listen to songs from the album The Hanged Man, including "Moon out of Phase", "Used to Believe", "Can't Go Back", and many more. Buy the album for $9.99. Songs start at $1.29. Free with Apple Music subscription.
Just finished "The First Rule of Punk" by Celia C. Pérez and it was totally AWESOME!!! You should go get a copy for the young punk in your life. My son is on chapter 19, but already said it is great, too.

Uncle Tupelo tunes for Sunday to welcome the first Fall weather in the PNW... but here's one of the jammers about the bu****it of the music industry, which was true in the 90s and probably just as true today.
Super bummer news... Here's my favorite Grant Hart jam.

Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Our "band" of the day is the delightfully prolific and influential songwriter Allison Crutchfield ( ex Swearin' , P.S. Eliot , Bad Banana ) and her song "Dean's Room" off of her latest record, "Tourist In This Town" on Merge Records . Try not to get this hook stuck in your head all day, I dare ya!
from the album Tourist in This Town
Our band of the day is Richmond, VA's Strike Anywhere - Official ! with their song "Refusal" from their 2001 debut LP on Jade Tree Records. If you don't own a copy of "Change Is A Sound", today would be a perfect day to download from Bandcamp as they are donating all proceeds to the ACLU Nationwide . You can also send as a gift to someone special in your life.
"Refusal"
Sister
I won't let you go
I won't let them take you
into the silence of a past divided
Brother
keep teaching the power
we only move together
away from the past that made us fall apart
I refuse to run and I will die
before I kneel in this life
systems
of profits we punish
with love as our weapon
and unity
unity rebirth in fire
I refuse to run and I will die
before I kneel in this life
are we crucified
we defend our birthright
equality betrayed
and every hour a voice is lost
but every rage defies the cost
embrace the whole world as your kin
truth to truth and skin to skin
begin
searching for an end to the bu****it reactions
another way to separate us
and end to the bu****it of separation
another way to keep us from truth
from the album Change is a Sound
Our band of the day is Open City, the "newish" band including Rachel Rubino ( of Bridge and Tunnel , Worriers ), Dan Yemin ( of PAINT IT BLACK, Lifetime, Kid Dynamite , and Armalite ), Chris Wilson ( Ted Leo and the Pharmacists ), and Andy Nelson ( of PAINT IT BLACK, CEREMONY, Dark Blue ) with the song "Nightshift". They have just announced their debut album…and it rules!! The release comes after almost two years of the band playing house shows and art spaces. Check out the record on Bandcamp and consider purchasing today as Bandcamp is donating their share of sales to the ACLU Nationwide all day.
from the album Open City
Once upon a time, ACTION PATROL was a band from Richmond, VA. Their discography, On Patrol 1993-1996, was released by Whirled Records in 1997. I suspect this song might have been on some 7" prior to that, but I wasn't able to find any proof. I was fortunate enough to catch them in Gainesville at least once. Maybe twice? I have polaroids of the show, which was totally impractical. It's the first show I ever brought a camera to... starting a 20+ year tradition of blurry evidence and missed opportunities. : )
Action Patrol - P.C.A. i do not own this song
Listen up! Our 30th consecutive band of the day is Bad Religion! "No Control" is the eponymous song from their 1989 album released on Epitaph Records. There are a bunch of other great songs on this album, so go find more of it to listen to. Start a circle pit in the living room! Hell yeah! Man, the 80's would have been a total waste without punk and new wave.
The 3rd track from the 1989 album by Bad Religion. The physical form of this album can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/No-Control-Bad-Religion/dp/B0...
"there are no proud Americans...." - our band of the day is THE EXPLOSION (Boston, MA). This song is from their excellent record, Flash Flash Flash, which was released in 2000 on Jade Tree. Go take a listen!
from the album Flash Flash Flash
What a bunch of stupid bu****it. Glad to see the pushback. Here's EMBRACE from their self-titled 1987 release on Dischord Records. Stand together, folks.
from the album S/T
Campfire Island updated their information in their About section.
Here comes the weekend... Time to get weird and loud with WHATEVER BRAINS - our 27th consecutive band of the day! This song is from their self-titled 4th album which was released by Sorry State Records in 2015. Super awesome.
