Have I got some goodies for you this week.

For all of you Black Flag fans, the documentary "Reality 86'd" has been put online for you to enjoy. It was originally released in 1991 and focuses on the band's 1986 tour. Check it out HERE.

Teenage Bottlerocket have released a newish video. It's a brand new video but it's for a song that is about 3 years old. Still fun and worth a watch either way.

It has been beautiful in Baltimore for the last few days and there's no end in sight. It's been nice to spend a little time outdoors for a change. However, that does mean that I got a nasty sunburn. Oh well.

Just a couple of things for you tonight. Let's start with Frank Turner. He was at Bamboozle last week and even thought it would be fun to join an impromptu acoustic jam session in the parking lot with Transit. Someone had the brilliant idea to film it. Enjoy.

I hate to start the show off on a somber note but I think it is necessary to pay tribute to one of punk rock's most definitive voices. Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex died last week from cancer. She was 53 years old. Although X-Ray Spex only released one official album they still make just about every list of greatest punk rock acts.

Poly Styrene 1957-2011

On a lighter note, I have some new music for your ears to enjoy.

I've just come across this band called Pacer. Truth be told, I found them because I was looking up info about Iron Chic. Turns out, Pacer will be releasing a split with Iron Chic soon and you can listen to one of their songs HERE.


You're probably already aware that Small Brown Bike have returned to the scene in a big way with their latest album "Fell & Found." If you're curious what the record sounds like, you can stream the whole thing HERE. I don't think you'll be disappointed.


Do you want some new music from Iron Chic? They're giving away a 4 song EP for whatever you want to pay. Hell, you could download it for free if you want but if you throw the band a couple bucks I'm sure they won't be disappointed. Find out more at their BANDCAMP page.

And now it's time for the playlist...

I spent most of this week doing some punk rock research. Basically that means I went searching for some new bands to play on the show. It's easy to grab music from the bigger names and the bigger labels but there's so much other stuff floating around out there. I wanted to make sure they got a fair shake on Noise Complaint as well. Here are a couple of bands I've grown to enjoy.


The Gateway District caught my ear by accident. I can't even tell you how I heard of them but I'm glad I did. CLICK HERE to download a song from their latest album "Perfect's Gonna Fail."


The French Exit have posted their new album and made it available for whatever price you want to pay. That means you can download it for free or you can kick them a few dollars for their troubles. CLICK HERE to check them out.


I think Joyce Manor is my favorite of all the bands I came across. I really dig their song "Leather Jacket." They've also posted one of their records for whatever price you want. Far be it from me to tell you what to do but I'm sure they wouldn't mind it if you sent them a couple of bucks. CLICK HERE and make the call.

Here's the playlist...

Sharks-The Light At The End of the Tunnel Is Hell
Iron Chic-Time Keeps On Slipping Into the (Cosmic) Future

Baseball season is in full swing. 9 games into the season and I'm already just about ready to kill myself. If the Red Sox don't start turning things around I think it may be time to just end it all.

OK, that's a little dramatic and I'm not actually serious. What I am serious about is this show tonight. Some great music on the program for you today. Let's not forget the fun stuff I have for you here as well.

Bad Religion stopped by Jimmy Kimmel live the other day to perform a couple of songs. Here they are...

I just realized that I never posted the playlist from last week. I'm really sorry about that. I don't know what came over me. Hopefully all of the goodies that I'm giving you this week will more than make up for it.

If you're looking for more free music, I've got you covered. Epitaph has released a free sampler featuring new songs from a few of their upcoming records. Get it HERE.


Face to Face is back with another song that will be on their upcoming album. By the way, it looks like that album is going to be hitting the stores in May. Listen to It's Not All About You HERE.


Mikey Erg may not have to worry about performing with his band "The Ergs" anymore...because they broke up, but he's still one of the busiest guys in punk rock these days. He sat down with the gang at PunkNews.org to chat a bit. Take a look at the whole interview HERE.
