I recently saw a concert of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based folk punk band Apes of the State. During a trip to Atlanta in the spring of 2023, I heard their music on some obscure, low-band alternative and commercial-free radio station and became hooked. I think I heard the “Internet Song,” which had some crazy clever lyrics, […]
Former Staind frontman and now solo country artist (and possible Qanon nutbag) Aaron Lewis disgustingly asked his audience to “listen to what Putin has to say” at a concert down south back in March. What does this have to do with Dima, the lead singer of Tarakany! Well, first, let me give you a brief […]
Ignorance… you’re on notice, we’re coming for your ass.
When the seriousness of Covid 19 first began to really hit home for me was the weekend of March 14th and 15th, 2020. That weekend would be epic with back-to-back shows from Against Me & Anti-Flag returning to NYC. I had tickets to see both, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Both were canceled. […]
When Anti-Flag made their way through NYC in October of 2019, I had the pleasure of seeing Justin Sane & Chris 2 play an acoustic set at Looney Tunes Records in Long Island. The next day, just before their show at the Mercury Lounge in the Lower East Side, I interviewed Pat Thetic and Justin […]
Season 8 of Raw Travel premieres October 2020 and despite the pandemic will feature all-new, all-original content from around the world. I’m happy to add, we’ll be showcasing a lot of music from bands such as legendary punk rockers “Marjinal” of Jakarta, Indonesia, gypsy-folk punk sensations “Dakha Brakha” and their sister band “Dakh Daughters” of […]
As the coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc over much of the world, and New York City back in March and April of 2020, I looked back at the weekend I was anxiously anticipating. March 14th-15th, 2020, was set to be epic. March 14th would feature the return of my pals from Pittsburgh, PA, Anti-Flag, who were […]
A few months ago, I had the opportunity and pleasure of interviewing legendary, socially-conscious rockers, Anti-Flag. The Pittsburgh, PA-based band was making its way through New York City to perform a meet-n-greet and acoustic set at Looney Tunes Records in Long Island. The following evening, they would play a full-fledged concert at Mercury Lounge in the East Village. I remember […]
Tarakany’s! (Cockroach) 1st English language CD “Russian Democrazy” features a killer track entitled “God & Police” with Chris Barker from Anti-Flag singing along and perhaps not surprisingly, it’s one of my favorites on the entire CD. All hype and self serving BS aside, Russian Democrazy never gets old being put on repeat on the old […]
