Noise Complaint 12/20/10

It's that time of year again. Time for the annual Noise Complaint Christmas Special. I came across a few new tracks...at least they're new to me...and I've got all the punk rock Christmas standards. I love this episode because it's nice easy way to close out the year.

Noise Complaint 12/13/10 Best of 2010 Edition

I can't believe it's finally here. Doing shows like this one really make the year seem like it goes by crazy fast. I look forward to this episode every year because it gives me the opportunity to look back at the best songs that came out over the last 365 days or so.

I got some great suggestions from all of you and I think I was able to put together one hell of a show. I'm proud of it anyway. I think, if nothing else, it gives a good look at the wide variety of what the world of punk rock has turned into. It's not just about 3 simple chords and some angry lyrics.

Oh yeah, the show is 2 hours tonight. I'm excited to have a whole extra hour to rock out for you.

Before I give you the playlist, let me just thank you for all of the support this year. There have been some ups and downs (particularly involving the old YRock disappearing) but I think we've come out stronger than before. On a personal level, it was a decent year for me and this show had a lot to do with it. It's a constant every week that I look forward to. I need to thank you for that. Without your support, this show wouldn't still be around.

Here's the playlist...

Noise Complaint 12/06/10

Those gentlemen above make up the band H2O. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have seen them in my lifetime but let me assure you that it's a lot. The last time I saw them was probably close to 8 or 9 years ago up in Philadelphia. It's been a long time. I finally caught up with them again in Baltimore last Thursday and it was like nothing had changed. Even though the guys are all pushing 40, they rocked like they did 10 years ago. I was pretty impressed. That's why I'm kicking off tonight's show with their song "Still Here." I know the song is about being Straight Edge but I think the message also works for their story. Most punk bands don't stand the test of time. The members eventually have to give up and find real jobs. I realize they took some time apart but H2O has stayed true to their roots.

What made the show even better was one of the opening acts. Their name was Wisdom In Chains (pictured above). These guys blew me away. You'll hear a track from them tonight as well. If you want to check out more from them, CLICK HERE.

You may have heard of The Damned Things. That's the band featuring a couple guys from Fall Out Boy, a couple guys from Anthrax and the singer from Every Time I Die. It's probably that randomness that has me super excited to hear what they can do musically. I just had my first chance. They've made a video for the song "We've Got A Situation Here" and you can watch it right here...




And one more thing. Flogging Molly has announced their 2011 Green 17 tour. It kicks off on February 8th. I'm a little sad to say that it doesn't come to Baltimore or D.C. It does make a stop in Philly though. To see the full list of dates, CLICK HERE.

And here's what you heard tonight...

H2O-Still Here
Man Overboard-Al Sharpton
Bad Brains-I Against I
Ann Beretta-Better Days
Polar Bear Club-Light Of Local Eyes
Banner Pilot-Central Standard
Gogol Bordello-60 Revolutions
Dead To Me-Paystub
Wisdom In Chains-Chasing The Dragon
The Saints- (I'm) Stranded

Wire-12XU

Noise Complaint 11/29/10

Good evening everyone. Not a whole lot going on this week. It would appear that the punk rock world slowed down for the Thanksgiving holiday. I'll just keep it simple this week.

Civet made the news. Literally. Their van was stolen and it ended up being involved in a high speed chase that involved gun fire and a broken fire hydrant. You can see the video HERE.

I got my hands on the latest song from Social Distortion but sadly it came a little late and tonight's show was already done. I'll have it here for you next Monday.

Here's tonight's playlist...

The Ramones-Judy Is A Punk

Noise Complaint 11/22/10

I think the thought of eating my weight in turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce got to my head a little early this week. I've made a "New Year's Resolution" already. I'm going to stay more on top of the website and facebook page starting right after Thanksgiving. It's time I put a little more effort into this show.

I only have a couple things for you this week...

Rancid has started a weekly video series called "Live From the Living Room." At this point they have released 2 videos. Enjoy...

Rancid - Wrongful Suspicion



Rancid - Tenderloin



If you're thinking about taking a vacation in...ohhhh...I don't know...June of 2011, I have a suggestion for you. Asian Man Records is celebrating it's 15th anniversary and it plans to have every band it ever worked with get together for a weekend of shows in San Francisco. I'm already looking at ticket prices. If you want to read more about it, CLICK HERE. This could be an epic weekend of performances. You may have noticed a little tribute to Asian Man on the show tonight. I barely scratched the surface. The Asian Man bands will be in bold in the playlist.

Speaking of the playlist, here it is...

Noise Complaint 11/15/10

Stupid Internet. I sat down last night all set to update the website only to find out that my internet at home wasn't working. I feel terrible about that because I have so many great things for you this week. My apologies for being late here...

Let's start with the free/new music.

Glassjaw has been in the headlines a lot over the last year or two but we haven't been getting much music from them. Now we have a few songs to satisfy our appetites until their new album comes out (whenever that may be). You can listen to, and download for free, a new track called Natural Born Farmer RIGHT HERE.

Speaking of Glassjaw, they sold a 7 inch with two songs on it over the weekend, but they did it in a rather unconventional way. They were selling it through a local pizza shop in New York. Here's the flier...

----------------------

Spin Magazine has released a free Bad Religion tribute album. Some of the coolest acts out there like Frank Turner, the Weakerthans, Cobra Skulls and Polar Bear Club take on the task of covering classic Bad Religion tracks. Download it for free RIGHT HERE.

----------------------

This news makes me a happy man. Unwritten Law are planning to release their new album in March of 2011. The only problem with that news is that it's still 4 months away. I'm not sure I can wait that long. It will be called "Swan" and here are the final cover art options...

My vote is with the top one.

---------------------------

Off With Their Heads made a surprise stop at The Fest 9 a few weeks back. They performed their 2006 album "Hospitals" in its entirety and thankfully someone got it on video. Below is their performance of the song "Die Today." If you'd like to see the rest of the songs, CLICK HERE.

--------------------

Milo Auckerman, of the Descendents, sat down for an interview and he dished about the current state of the punk rock scene as well as future touring plans for the band. It's a great read. Take a look HERE.

--------------------

I hope all of that can tide you over for the day. Here's what you heard on the show...

Unwritten Law-Blame It On Me
The queers-Back To The Basement
The Germs-Lexicon Devil
Reel Big Fish-Beer
The Gamits-The Well
Glassjaw-Stars
The Ramones-We're A Happy Family
H2O-Memory Lane
Man Overboard-Al Sharpton
Hog Hoggidy Hog-Carry On
Nightlights-Ghost Town
Cobra Skulls-Give You Nothing
Adolescents-Wrecking Crew
Aquabats-Martian Girl
Off With Their Heads-I Am You
The Methadones-Murmurs In The Dark
Dance Hall Crashers-Shelley
G.B.H.-City Baby Attacked By Rats
Kid Dynamite-Heart A Tact
Descendents-When I Get Old
Hour of the Wolf-Spit It Right back

Noise Complaint 11/01/10

I've been typing or writing today's date a lot today for some reason and it keeps freaking me out. I feel like I'm writing in binary code. That comment is going to be either very funny to some people or it will just make me look like a very sad and pathetic person.

At any rate, I've got some great music for you. The big thing tonight is a brand new song from Face to Face. Their new record doesn't hit the stores until January but they've been kind enough to bless us with a new song now. You can even download it for free from their WEBSITE. That's how I got it.

Frank Turner has a new EP on the way out soon and he's already made a video. I find it fascinating that so many artists still make videos even though the masses never get to see them. It's a great song. Take a look/listen...



And one more story for you tonight. The Get Up Kids have announced plans for a new album. It's set to come out in January. Looks like January is going to be a big month. You can get more details RIGHT HERE.

Cool New Video

I realize this isn't a punk rock group but the Deftones are one of my all time favorites. I just came across their latest video and I really dig it. I felt compelled to share it with you...


You've Seen The Butcher

Deftones | Myspace Music Videos

Noise Complaint 10/25/10

Back in the day, I used to try and do a "CD of the Week" kind of thing. I'd feature a few songs from an artist and get some giveaways to send out to you. Well when we shortened the show down to an hour that kind of thing had to go away. I know, excuses excuses. At any rate, I've got a suggestion for you this week.

I think you should check out the new record from None More Black called "Icons." Comes out in stores tomorrow and is definitely a solid choice.

Mike Herrera from MXPX has a side project called Tumbledown that you may have heard about. They've got a new record on the way and here's a new video for you to get a sneak peak at. I think it's pretty rad.



Bayside's next album doesn't come out until February but they've posted a new song online. Take a listen RIGHT HERE. It's called "Already Gone."

And here's what you heard on the show tonight...

Pinhead Gunpowder-Buffalo
Sharks-It All Relates
SNFU-She's Not On The Menu
This Time Next Year-Rise and Fall, Curtain Call
None More Black-Mr. Artistic

Bim Skala Bim-Bones
Circle Jerks-Live Fast, Die Young
Bayside-The Walking Wounded
Punchout-New Chapter

Noise Complaint 10/18/10

The great thing about punk rock music is that there are no "release seasons." In the pop and rock world, artists try to release their records at certain times of the year because they know that more people are out shopping at that time. You end up getting the biggest releases in the Spring and Fall. Punk rock bands couldn't give a shit about that rule and they release their albums as soon as they're ready to go. I love it for so many reasons but mostly because it means that each week I can bring you some great new music.

This week I've got some tracks for you from the new Less Than Jake record "TV EP." You'll hear a few random songs throughout the entire show. If you want to get a peek at what the album has in store for you, watch this nice little video they put together...




There has been some really great music coming out of the UK over the last couple of years. Bands like Gallows and the King Blues have become main stays on Noise Complaint. Tonight you'll hear some new tracks from Sharks and Random Hand along with a song from The Revolution Continues (otherwise known as TRC). I just came across them and I'm loving it. Take a look at their video for "London's Greatest Love Story."



That's it for now. Here's the playlist from tonight's show...

Less Than Jake-Animaniacs
Bouncing Souls-True Believers
Black Flag-Rise Above
Destination Anywhere-Everything's Alright
Sharks-It All Relates
Flatliners-Cut Your Teeth
Radio Birdman-Burn My Eye '78
Less Than Jake-FreeCreditReport.com
Madball-Glory Years
TRC-London's Greatest Love Story
Against Me-Cliche Guevara

Vanna-Trashmouth
Less Than Jake-Toys R Us

Noise Complaint 10/11/10

As I was preparing to update the website with information about tonight's show I realized that I never put up the playlist from last week. I'm not quite sure how that happened but I apologize for the error.

I found some info about some upcoming releases that I'm pretty psyched about. Both of them just so happen to coming out on Fat Wreck.




Both Screeching Weasel and Smoke Or Fire have new records coming out on November 9th. It's weird to think of November being so close but it is right around the corner.

I've heard of bands releasing singles before the new album coming out but this is ridiculous. Rival Schools have a new record hitting the stores next year and they've already released the first video. I've heard the album won't be in stores until March of 2011 which means you have about 6 months to enjoy this while you wait for the rest of the songs...



If you're looking for some new music to enjoy, try these...

New track from None More Black off of their upcoming record. Download it free HERE.

New song from Old Man Markley. Get it for free HERE.

And here's what you heard on the show tonight...

Screeching Weasel-Cool Kids
Smoke Or Fire-Speak Easy
The Adverts-One Chord Wonders
Big D and the Kids Table-Little Bitch
Blink 182-Voyeur
Rival Schools-Used For Glue
New York Dolls-Trash
Blacklist Royals-American Hearts
Old Man Markley-For Better For Worse
The Black Pacific-Put Down Your Weapons
Descendents-She Loves Me
The Dollyrots-Some Girls
Boysetsfire-Rookie
The Damned-New Rose
The Specials-Rude Boys Outta Jail
The Sainte Catherines-We Used to Be In Love
Bad Religion-Only Rain
Westbound Train-Please Forgive Me
The Dopamines-Public Domain
None More Black-Iron Mouth Act

Noise Complaint 09/27/10

Had some internet troubles tonight so this is kind of a rush job. I'm already 28 minutes late in posting this anyway. Here goes...

Comeback Kid have made a video for their latest song "Because Of All The Things You Say." I dig it. What do you think?



Speaking of videos, Glassjaw have posted a video for a new song. It's called Stars. There still is no word on when a new album might be coming our way but at least we can be happy there is some new material. Take a look/listen RIGHT HERE. (I tried to embed it but there's some sort of protection on it. Sorry.)


And here's what made the show tonight...

Noise Complaint 09/20/10

I do this show every week (except on random holidays) yet somehow I completely forgot about tonight's show. I was sitting around yesterday night when I realized I had to start putting things together for it. So tonight is a bit of a rush job. That's not to say that it's a bad episode. I actually think it's one of the better ones. I've got some new music for you from The Fake Problems, Far From Finished, The Sainte Catherines and Weezer (yes I said Weezer) just to name a few.

If you're looking for a couple new songs to download, here are some suggestions...

Banner Pilot is re-releasing their great album Resignation Day and they've put a free download of Overwinter up online RIGHT HERE.

Fat Wreck just signed a pretty interesting new band called Old Man Markley. Check out a free song from them HERE.

You can't download this one but it's definitely worth a listen. Less Than Jake have a new EP on the way in October that features their take on 16 different TV show theme songs. Take a listen to their version of the Animaniacs theme RIGHT HERE.

Canada's Bedouin Soundclash have a new record coming out next week (in Canada anyway). It really snuck up on me so I don't have any new music for the show just yet but you can take a listen to some new tracks HERE.

R.I.P. Crime In Stereo
I hate to start off the week with bad news but Crime In Stereo have decided to call it quits after 8 years and 3 full length albums. These guys have been one of my favorites over the last few years. They've been able to alter their style to stay fresh without losing their edge. To read an explanation from Alex Dunne, CLICK HERE. Another one bites the dust I guess.

The Queers have a new album titled "Back to the Basement" set for a November release. They've posted a couple new songs on their Myspace page. The latest is called "Fucked In The Head." CLICK HERE to take a listen.

Stephen Blush's book "American Hardcore" is being re-released as a second edition with 80 new pages. It's a great read for anyone interested in learning more about the beginnings of hardcore music here in the states. If you want some more info about this CLICK HERE.

Well well well. Do I have a special show for you tonight. It's not everyday that I have the opportunity to say that Jim Lindberg will be joining me on the show. That's right. THE Jim Lindberg. Formerly the lead singer of Pennywise, Lindberg is now working with his new project called The Black Pacific.


Their debut album hits stores on September 14th from Side One Dummy Records. I've heard 2 songs on it so far, both of which you can hear on the show tonight, and I'll admit that my curiosity has been struck. Especially after talking to him about it. If you missed any of the interview with Jim, you can hear the entire thing RIGHT HERE.

If you're interested in downloading one of their new songs, along with some other Side One Dummy tracks FOR FREE click the image below and have at it.


After all that news, it's hard to believe that there is anything left to say and...well...there really isn't. Some new stuff on the show tonight from The Dollyrots, Cruel Hand and His Name Was Iron. Also a special new track from Jimmy Eat World. It's not very new but it's a song that was never released. It was recorded by producer Mark Trombino before he quit working with the band during the Futures sessions. The song didn't make the cut for the final album but I think it's pretty great so I'm sharing tonight.

As always, I'd love your feedback. Hit me up at jeff@noisecomplaintradio.com.

Here's the playlist for tonight...

Descendents-Coolidge

Noise Complaint 08/02/10

I've got some free music for you. The gang over at It's Alive Records have thrown together a 35 song compilation that you can download for free, or for a donation. I haven't had time to get through the entire thing yet but I like what I've heard so far from Be My Doppelganger, The Copyrights and The Creeps.

Download the album for free RIGHT HERE.


2010 appears to be the year we will finally see a new album from Social Distortion. I say "finally" because in each of the last 3 years I heard the same story. Mike Ness has announced the title and said it would be released in November. The name of the new record will be Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes. Interesting. They're also hitting the road in the fall with Lucero and Frank Turner. To get a taste of what you'll see there, check out this live video of them performing Story Of My Life...




In other news...

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes are hitting the road

Banner Pilot and Fat Wreck are re-releasing "Resignation Day"

and

Noise Complaint 07/26/10

2nd week back and I'm feeling pretty good about the show. In fact, I'm considering the thought of getting it back to 2 hours again. The new set up on YNotRadio.net makes doing the show a whole lot easier for me. The biggest thing is that I no longer have to edit songs. That saves me so much time. We'll see.

I'm pretty stoked about the show this week. I've got some great new songs including the new one from The Black Pacific. You've probably never heard of them (I hadn't before doing this show) but it's the new project from Jim Lindberg. Lindberg is the former singer of Pennywise. Pretty cool stuff.

I came across a great interview with Jim. It's a pretty interesting read so I posted it RIGHT HERE for you to enjoy.

Norma Jean has a new record out there called Meridonal. Here's their latest video...

And now for the playlist. I hope you enjoy!

Gatorface-Not Scientists
Comeback Kid-Do Yourself a Favor
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones-Kinder Words

Much The Same-Living A Lie
Norma Jean-Leaderless and Self Enlisted

I'm Baaaaack

My little hiatus didn't last as long as I expected it to but I'm back and ready to give you the best the world of punk rock has to offer. Before anyone says it...I know I need a new logo. I'm waiting for a friend to help me take the YRockonXPN piece out of the image. It should be up by next week.

There is one real change to the show. It's only going to be an hour for now. I may have addressed this earlier but the changes at YRock weren't the only reason why I wanted to shut down the show. It was starting to get to the point where doing the show wasn't fun anymore. It became work. Since this is a volunteer thing for me I told myself that I would only do it as long as it was fun. Now I'm ready to start a new endeavor on YNotRadio.net. It might be a little shorter but that means I have to squeeze even more rock into an hour than I did before.

Because getting this show back on the radio was a bit of a surprise to me, I don't have a ton of stuff to post up here tonight but I did find this great video of Dead to Me performing "Cruel World" acoustic. I thought it was worth posting.



And now it's time for the playlist.

Noise Complaint: The Final Show 06/28/10

It's here. A day that I didn't think would come so soon but knew would come eventually. Tonight is the final episode of Noise Complaint. It's been a good run and I'm glad to end the show while we're on top. I want to say thank you to everyone who tuned in to check out the show. Even if it was just for a few seconds one night. I appreciate the support more than you'll ever know. I hope that I was able to introduce you to some new acts you didn't know before or maybe even just brought back some good memories for you. I always say that Punk is definitely not dead. You just need to know where to find it. I'm sorry that I'm closing down this outlet but I assure you there are many other places out there.

Every time I've done an all punk rock covers show in the past it has been a huge success. As a thank you to all of you, I'm going to close things out with a covers show tonight. I think I've dug up some gems (with a lot of help from your feedback) and we're going to have a good time.

Before I close up shop, I do have a couple pair of tickets left for The Warped Tour on July 16th at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden NJ. If you'd like to check it out just CLICK HERE.

I'll have the playlist posted for you later!

Noise Complaint 06/21/10

It's a little hard to believe that this is the second to last episode of Noise Complaint. I believe there have been just over 120 episodes. It's hard to say goodbye but I'm not closing the door on the show just yet. There's always the chance it can come back but as of right now I have no plans for that to happen.

I'm giving away copies of the new album from The Gaslight Anthem called American Slang tonight. A big thanks to Side One Dummy Records for hooking me up with those for you. It's a great record and picks up right where the band left off with The '59 Sound. If you want a copy just CLICK HERE!

Also I'm clearing out all the CD's and concert tickets I have left over through the facebook page. Take a look there to see what else you can pick up for free. Consider the giveaways my way of saying thank you for 2 1/2 years of support with this show.

Tonight's show is a bunch of my favorites. Either all time favorites or songs I've really come to enjoy, and discover, while doing Noise Complaint. I know it's not my usual style because I generally ask for your feedback but I've started to realize that you and I tend to think alike on music choices. Here's the playlist...

Noise Complaint 06/14/10

Well everyone, it pains me to say this but it is a sad day for Noise Complaint. After nearly 140 over the last 2 years and 10 months, Noise Complaint is coming to an end. It was a tough decision but in the end I think it's the right one. Over the last few months it has become increasingly less...how can I put this...less "fun" and more like work to do this show and that's when I realized it was time to think about stepping away. Also, the host station, YRockonXPN.org is going through some major changes right now and that gave me the extra push I needed to make the call.

I want to thank everyone who has been around since day one or even day 140. I wouldn't still be doing the show at all if it weren't for the amazing emails and comments I've had from you. There is a chance that Noise Complaint will come back in some form in the future but for now we're on an indefinite hiatus.

All that being said, the last show is on June 28th and I've decided that it's going to be an all punk rock covers show. Those are always a ton of fun to put together and I need your help picking the songs. Let me know what you want to hear. Either comment on our FACEBOOK page or shoot me an EMAIL.

I kicked off the show tonight with Against Me's latest "I Was A Teenage Anarchist." If you're interested, here's the video...




I always hear a lot of people pissing and moaning about the Warped Tour and how there aren't a lot of punk bands on it anymore. Now, if I hear that a lot, you can only imagine how many times Kevin Lyman hears it. He speaks about that in a recent interview that you can read RIGHT HERE. It's actually a pretty interesting read.

And now for the playlist...

Against Me!-I Was A Teenage Anarchist

The Ramones-The KKK Took My Baby Away
Destination Anywhere-Makes My Day
No Use For A Name-Justified Black Eye

Noise Complaint 06/07/10

I hope you didn't miss me too much last week. I'll admit that while doing this show does take up a good amount of time during my week, I do miss it when I don't have to do it. At least when I have a week off I know that I will have plenty of new music to give you when I come back. That's the story tonight. Brand new tracks from Off With Their Heads, Me and Mark, Skafield, Swingin' Utters and Girl In A Coma just to name a few. It's going to be a good show so I hope you enjoy.

There are a couple other things as well...

Far is back with a vengeance in their new album "At Night We Live." Check out this video interview of their singer, Jonah, talking about the reunion...



Kid Dynamite and Ink & Dagger will be reuniting for the This Is Hardcore Festival in Philadelphia in August. Should be a pretty incredible weekend of shows. Unfortunately it sold out pretty quickly. I know they're trying to crack down on scalpers but if you try hard enough you might be able to get your hands on a ticket. If you want to know more about the festival CLICK HERE.

Noise Complaint 05/24/10

Anyone else watch Lost last night? I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. As a series finale, I thought it was decent but as a Lost series finale, it came up short for me. We can all debate it for the rest of time and we'll never know the answers because I don't think the writers ever even had answers to the things in the first place. Not only was the show probably the most creative thing to ever hit the TV but it also created an internet storm of things as well. Viral marketing? Lost revolutionized that. Blogosphere debates? Lost is still one of the most talked about things on the web.

Now on to bigger and better things...

Bad Religion put out their 30 Years Live free download last week. You can still get it for free at their WEBSITE. It's pretty rad, even if they left a few of my favorites off of it.

For any of you Philadelphia residents checking out the show tonight, you might want to read THIS ARTICLE. There is new legislation in front of the Philadelphia City Council that could seriously hurt live music in the city. Maybe take a look and see what you think. I don't like to pressure someone to vote one way or another on a topic but I think as a punk rock fan you'll probably want to get in on the petition.

Now for what you heard on the show...

Noise Complaint 05/10/10

Life has been pretty crazy lately. I suppose that's a good thing. The busier I am, the less worried I am about losing my real job. I say "real job" because this show is kind of a job but since it's volunteer, it's not really a job. Does that make sense? I hope so.

On the show tonight I have a little tribute to Walter Schreifels. He's got a new solo album out there now called "An Open Letter to the Scene" and I thought it would be fitting to play some tracks from all of the amazing bands that he has been a part of over the last 25-30 years.

Also there is a new documentary out called "Edge: Perspectives on a Drug Free Culture." I thought it looked pretty interesting so I pre ordered a copy for myself. Check out the trailer and see for yourself...

Check me out getting the playlist in on time. I feel very accomplished today.

Tonight's show is all about free music. I've got a lot of options for you to pick up for yourself. Let's start with a couple stories though first...

The Vandals are being sued again over the cover of their 2004 album "Hollywood Potato Chip." You can read the whole story HERE. Apparently they were sued once back when the album came out because of the artwork but they complied and stopped using it. Now they're being sued over it again. Here's the artwork that's in question...
Hopefully it will all get resolved soon.

Our Last Night have a cool contest running right now. The winner will get to perform on stage with them. You can find all the details HERE.

Polar Bear Club has a new video for their song "Living Saints." Take a look...


The Foxboro Hot Tubs also have a new song they're working on. They performed it recently up in New York. Personally...I kind of like it. What do you think?


Now let's get to the free music.

First, I've got a few copies of the new album from Circa Survive called "Blue Sky Noise." If you want one CLICK HERE to enter the drawing.

Fucked Up have put a new song online for you to download and pick up for your very own. CLICK HERE to get it. It's called Here Lies Are.

The Riot Before have a new album out now called "Rebellion" and they also have an acoustic EP that you can get for free from Paper & Plastick Records. GET IT HERE!

And last but not least, Spin Magazine put together a Bamboozle mix tape featuring, you guessed it, songs from artists that played at Bamboozle over the weekend. It's got some cool stuff and the best part about it is that it's free! DOWNLOAD IT HERE!

Noise Complaint 04/26/10

I'm really sorry I couldn't get the playlist and other info up last night. My internet was crapping out all night long. Trust me when I say I was about ready to rip all the wires out of the wall and then...well...that's about as far as my brain got before I just decided to go to bed instead.


One of my top 5 all time favorite bands is Piebald. Back in 2008 I flew up to Boston from Washington DC for about 13 hours just to see their final show at the Middle East. It cost me a pretty penny but it was absolutely worth it. Now a DVD of that final show is hitting the stores on May 11th. Here's a trailer so you can take a peek...

Noise Complaint 04/19/10

I don't know what's worse. Getting shut out at Record Store Day on Saturday or the Red Sox getting swept by the Rays. Both have torn me up pretty good over the last few days. I think the Record Store Day thing bugs me more. I had a list of about 25 records I wanted to pick up but by the time I finally got into The Sound Garden in Baltimore they were all sold out. The only one they had left was the Weezer EP but honestly I didn't want to hear it bad enough that I was willing to sit in line for 45 minutes. I guess there's always next year.

Regardless of my rough weekend, we have a great show tonight featuring new music from The Get Up Kids, Our Last Night and Mustard Plug.

Speaking of Mustard Plug, you can download their new song for free RIGHT HERE. It's their first new song since 2007. Enjoy!

Fat Mike was down at SXSW a few weeks ago for a solo performance of Cokie the Clown. What transpired either shocked or horrified just about everyone in the audience. I wish I were there to see it but since I wasn't, I have to rely on THIS SUMMARY.

One of my favorite bands in high school was Braid. You can hear their influence in so many bands these days (whether they want to admit that or not). Polyvinyl records has re-issued 5 of their albums on vinyl. All you collectors out there can get your hands on them HERE.

Now let's get to the playlist from the show tonight. I'd love your feedback. Especially if you have any suggestions for some music that I'm missing.

Tons of new music on the show tonight. I think I say the word "new" more in this two hour show than I have in my entire life combined. That's a good thing though. I have brand new music for you from Fiction Reform, Circa Survive, We Are The Union, The Menzingers, The Slackers, G.B.H., Sick of It All and Lower Than Atlantis just to name a few.

Speaking of Fiction Reform, here's the video for their song Small Silhouette...
