Forget MAGA, Let’s MPPA: Make Punk Political Again with AMERICAN HIGH

Punk rock and politics have long gone hand in hand. Sometimes the relationship is loose, a general distrust of government or desire for anarchy. Other times, punk has mobilized against leaders and candidates to fight injustices or policies. The punk landscape has always been rich with political songs and political bands, whether the brash Sex Pistols cry for “Anarchy in the UK” or NoFX’s anti-Bush … Continue reading Forget MAGA, Let’s MPPA: Make Punk Political Again with AMERICAN HIGH

I Set My Friends on Fire’s O.G. ‘Astral Rejection’ to Get Official Release

Death by Horse’s ‘Summer’s Up’ Is Punchy Swedish Pop Punk

Death by Horse’s ‘Summer’s Up’ is a punchy, attitudinal interpretation of pop punk. This is a fun little tune from the Swedish rockers. As many Swedes do, these guys seem to have an affinity for the garage rock genre, but these guys are bringing a poppier, spunkier flavor to that sound. The female-led performance further separates these guys from the crowd. They have a meaningfully … Continue reading Death by Horse’s ‘Summer’s Up’ Is Punchy Swedish Pop Punk
