Noise Complaint 01/17/11

Lots of things happening in the world of punk rock this week. Let's start with Rise Against. They've released the cover art for their upcoming album "Endgame." What do you think?


Green Day has released a trailer for their upcoming live DVD. It's set to come out on March 15th. I think the title will be made very clear when you watch the video below.

Anti-Flag seems to get blamed for just about every tragedy that takes place in this country. I'm surprised they weren't blamed with the birth of Sarah Palin. Not surprisingly, their name was brought up in relation with the recent shooting in Arizona. Apparently the shooter was a fan of the band. In response to the allegations that they were somehow responsible for his actions, they released this statement...

[The comments about Anti-Flag]] has led to some discussion in the media and elsewhere regarding Anti-Flag and what Anti-Flag stands for. For well over a decade Anti-Flag has endorsed non-violent progressive change and has lobbied for peace, equality, justice, and health care (including mental health care) for all people of America and the world. Anti-Flag unconditionally condemns the heinous actions of Mr. Loughner and our heartfelt condolences and best wishes go out to every single person affected by Mr. Loughner's senseless act of violence. Our message is and always has been very clear, violence in any form is unacceptable.

And one more story before you get the playlist. Dropkick Murphys have unveiled the info about their upcoming record. It will be titled "Going Out Of Style" and it will hit stores on March 1st. Take a look at the cover...


OK, here's what you heard tonight...

Gallows-In the Belly Of A Shark
Rise Against-Paper Wings
999-Hit Me
Darko-Never Coming Home
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones-Hell Of A Hat
Agnostic Front-Blind Justice

I'm writing this as I watch the BCS Championship game. I don't normally get super into college football games but for some reason I've been intrigued by this matchup. I think Auburn is overrated (along with the rest of the SEC) but they are a hell of a lot bigger than Oregon is. That's enough football talk.

I've got some new music on the show tonight from Social Distortion and the Get Up Kids.

Speaking of The Get Up Kids, they've unveiled another new song that will be on their upcoming full length that will be out on Jan 25th. To hear it, you can do 2 things.

1) You could listen to the show tonight.
2) You could CLICK HERE. There you should also be able to download it for free.

I will understand if you choose option 2.

Looks like we might get some new Sex Pistols music this year. They've reunited a few times over the years but it's mostly been just to pad their bank accounts. John Lydon, who is releasing new music with Public Image LTD this year, said that he's been invigorated and is interested in writing new Pistols music. We'll see what happens. You can read the whole story HERE.

And I can't leave you without a new video to enjoy. Here's Old Man Markley with For Better, For Worse

Stiff Little Fingers-Rough Trade
Strung Out-Novacain
G.B.H.-Sick Boy

Noise Complaint 01/03/11 Most Anticipated Releases of 2011 Episode

This is without a doubt my favorite episode of the year. I love looking forward at what the near may or may not bring. I usually do this show on the second week of the year so that I have a little more time to compile some new tracks. I changed it up this year because so many artists have been releasing singles early via the interweb. You know, I think this internet thing is really catching on.

At any rate, the show is only an hour long now so the playlist isn't as extensive as it's been in previous years. I still think I've come up with a nice group of songs though. One thing I'm extremely excited about is the new album from Social Distortion. For the last 3 years they have been in the Most Anticipated show and they haven't come through with a new album. This year it will finally be happening. And pretty soon too.

Here's what made the show tonight. I'm also including any other info I know about the artist's upcoming releases. If you see an ** next to a song, it's a new one that you'll find on their upcoming album.

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.
