Video: Dead to Me, “Fear is the New Bliss”

Review & Photos: Three Days of 1-2-3-4 Go Records' Go! Go! @ The New Parish, 5/16-5/18/13
Emily's Army began submitting recordings to 1-2-3-4 Go! about four years ago, when most members were 13. I could have fathered them. It helped that the guy to my right could be their grandfather (and he was sporting a dog collar). It's a little uncomfortable how great they are. It is frightening to think what they could be doing in a few years. My only fatherly advice: notch down the Green Day, study Sandinista, and stay away from my daughters. Check them out June 8th at Oakland's Uptown with Meat Market! Get their record Lost at Seventeen as soon as [...]

Review & Photos: Broadway Calls, Dead to Me, The Arteries, Strike to Survive @ The Arlene Francis Center, Santa Rosa 5/21/12
The Arlene Francis Center, located in Santa Rosa's downtown Railroad Square, is an essential venue for Santa Rosa's underground music scene. You'll never go there and just see a band play- there's always local artists putting up new pieces, fire dancers, creepy transients mingling with underage girls, etc. Monday night was no exception. Santa Rosa hardcore favorites Strike to Survive opened the evening with a quick and hard-hitting set, including an awesome cover of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage." UK boys The Arteries played hard and fast. This wasn't their first journey over the ocean from their homeland of Wales, and [...]
