Mick Jones for a proposed Alternative Press piece on punk’s original guitar heroes. Though it remains unpublished, I asked in the course of it what he thought of Rancid. Jones waxed effusive, noting he’d met the Berkeley punk traditionalists in the course of a U.S. Big Audio Dynamite tour, impressed with how hands-on and DIY they were in the running of the band, down to storyboarding their own videos. I smirked. “You’re being considerably generous, considering many cynics think Rancid ...

Who Said That April 23, 2021 Dwight David Eisenhower, who had a notable military career, spoke out against the rising costs of war during his presidency.

Javier Escovedo: “It’s go time. This is not a drill. The Zeros documentary is in production.” “It’s go time. This is not a drill. The Zeros documentary is in production,” says Javier Escovedo, who is working with filmmakers Anthony Ladesich and Michael Webber on a movie about his influential 1970s punk band. “Interviews with Baba Chenelle are in the can, and Robert Lopez will be interviewed in Seattle in April.” Escovedo lived in Huntington Beach before moving to Chula Vista in ...

What propelled Nirvana out of the underground into stores monitored by SoundScan wasn’t Butch Vig’s glossy, radio-friendly production. It wasn’t even Samuel Bayer’s visually catchy “Smells Like Teen Spirit” MTV video, with the band, moshing fans and anarchy-symbol-wearing varsity cheerleaders disrupting a high school pep rally.

SIGNATURE MOVE: Kurt Bloch is this long-running Seattle punk-pop outfit’s secret weapon—writing the songs, producing and playing flashy, melodic lead guitar. He and bandmates Kim Warnick and Deep Purple-esque hard rock. So he occasionally seasoned Fastbacks’ hooky bombast with Van Halen-esque widdly-widdlys and wang-bar divebombs. Gear-wise, he didn’t have a trademark guitar or amp. He tends to like Gibsons—Les Paul Jrs., SGs, Sg Juniors and various Les Pauls. A...
