Weezer Memories Tour Night 2 Post!

Holy bartender, words cannot describe how incredibly awesome that show was! Dan Cas (recently [and soon again to be] featured on the blog) and I had VIP passes so we met Weezer. That's right who wants to touch me. I said who wants to fucking touch me! (South Park reference for all you losers who don't recognize that). Also, I got to see their sound check and Karl Koch talked to us about the technical side of a Weezer show. Basically, I (and the other 119 VIP pass owners) were bloody royalty. Since I'm so nice and gracious (and not lazy today), I'm gonna give y'all a video of every single song (regular sets) of the night. Here is the setlist:

1. Cult of Personality
2. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations of a Shaker Hymn)
3. Jamie
4. Susanne
5. You Gave Your Love to Me Softly (correct me if I'm wrong, Dan)

Meet & Greet:

Greatest Hits Set (in correct order):
1. Memories



2. Pork & Beans



3. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations of a Shaker Hymn)

Sassafras!

Just found this song literally two minutes ago on the Jackass 3D soundtrack. Check out, "Been Blown to Shreds"

A.F.I. Covers The Misfits!

Nobody (save The Glenn Danzig-era Misfits) does The Misfits like A.F.I. Nobody. Well pre-sex change A.F.I. anyway...

"We Bite"



"Demonomania"



"Halloween"

Sex and Violence!

What every good movie needs... sex and violence! The Exploited rip through this one with surprisingly thoughtful and intellectual lyrics. Check out "Sex and Violence!"

Slapstick!

Featuring Brendan Kelly (The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon) and Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio), Slapstick!

None More Black!

"Sinatra After Dark" from their new album, Icons.

The Casualties!

Mastodon!!!

The opening for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters. "Cut You Up With a Linoleum Knife!"

DragonForce!

That's right. DragonForce. No, I did not learn about them from Guitar Hero, fyi. My cousin showed them to me way before that game came out, so there. Yes, I enjoy it, too, and not just because it's fast, but because it's cool! They definitely put on a great show too. I saw them a couple years ago and had an absolutely awesome time! And yes they really do play that fast.

Chaser!

Cool band.

The Real McKenzies!

Real McKenzies tear it up with this awesome tune. Here's "Chip." Scottish punks unite!

Beserker!

From Clerks. If you've seen the movie, you remember the song. If you haven't seen the movie, see it, like, now.

Authority Zero!

Authority Zero has got to be one of the most underrated punk bands of today. They write the catchiest hooks of any punk rock band around, period, but for some reason never really seemed to break out like Against Me! and Rise Against did. Full of cool riffs and hooks that won't leave your head, here is "No Regrets".

D.R.I.

In the pit, in the pit, IN THE PIT!

The Living End!

Take Punk. Mix it in with Rockabilly. Now take Australia and throw it into the mix. What do you get? A kangaroo with a mohawk and Buddy Holly's glasses. What else do you get? The Living End. Check out this next tune, "Prisoner of Society."

Monty Python

I have a confession. I never wanted to be blogger. I wanted to be...A LUMBERJACK!

The Stooges!

"My Idea of Fun" is killing everyone. Off their newest album, The Weirdness.

System Of A Down RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right. They're BACK!!! I'm giddier than a schoolgirl right now and you should be too because SOAD is a very special band. They're unlike anything else I've ever heard and best of all about them, with each new album they progress and change, but down suck more with each album or alienate their old fans. That is truly a great feat. In celebration, I give you...Sugar.

Major Bummer

This is a major bummer. Until Thursday, I won't be able to post. Sorry about this, but I have no computer access at home until then and I can only access the blog from a school computer where I can't get links. So I promise that for Turkey Day I will do something special. But, I'm bored so I guess I'm going to make an ABCs of bands and other groups of people who dress up in random costumes and sing about the Navy and the YMCA!

Damn, I really didn't think I could do it. I didn't even have to cheat! Ok, maybe a little...but only for Y (I used my iPod)

Fishbone!

Fishbone takes every cool genre of music and mashes it all together. So what kind of band are they? A funk-ska-punk-soul-jazz-metal-hard rock band with elements of prog too. This song is a fun song - about sex! Here's "Bonin' in the Boneyard" off Truth and Soul.

Sick Of It All!

This has got to be one of the heaviest songs on the face of the earth. The first time I heard this my face literally melted, but I'm a wizard and John Artenstein isn't so I made it all better. Here is "The Bland Within."

The Clash City Rockers!

Here's The Clash with "Clash City Rockers". Sweet song of their self-titled release (US edition only).

Trogdooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

At band practice the other day, my good friend Jake reminded me of an awesome, awesome song. This is that song.

Bad Brains!

"I And I Survive" is a beautiful reggae song by the reggae/hardcore band Bad Brains. It has a positive message too. "Big Take Over" is another song, that is much harder and faster. Here's a live performance from CBGB's in 1982. Got to have that PMA!

Suicidal Tendencies!

This is probably the most disturbing song I've ever heard, but it's really amazing. I prefer the rerecorded version of this song because it's so much creepier. Here's "I Saw Your Mommy".



Told ya so.

OFF!

OFF! is Keith Morris's (Black Flag, Circle Jerks) new band. I think they're really cool. So cool that I'm gonna post 4 mp3s that they released for free to promote their first four EPs.

1st EP: "Upside Down"
http://downloads.pitchforkmedia.com/OFF!%20-%20Upside%20Down.mp3

2nd EP: "Jeffrey Lee Pierce"
http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/OFF/track/Jeffrey_Lee_Pierce

3rd EP: "Panic Attack"
http://downloads.pitchforkmedia.com/OFF%20-%20Panic%20Attack.mp3

4th EP: "Full of Shit"
http://media.thefader.com/thefader/off-full-of-shit.mp3

None More Black!

This is a really cool band from NJ. The lead vocalist/guitarist is from Kid Dynamite. They're more of a prog-punk band which is totally awesome. Here is "Nothing To Do When You're Locked In A Vacancy" off Rock Against Bush Vol. 1.

Let There Be Rock!

Guess what!! Today is a special, special post. Why? Because today's artist is none other than my band, Incapable!!! I'm the bassist (no jokes, please) for this really cool band that even includes Dan Cas, who took over the blog a while back. Check out our webpage and our new song, a cover of AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock," here, at listn.to/incapable. Adios.

TV Party Tonight!

Here's a great song from Damaged, Black Flag's first album. A different version of the song is also on the greatest punk soundtrack ever, Repo Man (not to be confused with Repo Men).

The Damned!

Here's "New Rose" by The Damned off Damned Damned Damned. It was the first punk single ever in Britain.

Kick Some Ass!

How many people wanna kick some ass? Well here's the perfect track to go along with kickin' asses and it's "Kick Some Ass" by Stroke 9 off the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back soundtrack.

Assorted Jellybeans!

What a cool band name. Assorted Jellybeans, man. Now Puddle of Mudd could have learned a lesson in good band names from them. Any way here's "Punk Rock Jock."

It's Time to KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHAFUCKAS!!!

MC5 kicks out the jams.

Beastie Boys!

Here's a punk song from The Beastie Boys, "Tough Guy", off Ill Communication.

Bad Brains!

Here's the second song of three today, "I Against I", the Bad Brains classic.

Frank Turner!

Sorry I missed yesterday, but I'll make it up to you with a triple post day today! Here's the first one, Frank Turner's "Try This at Home" off of his latest release, Poetry of the Deed.

Reagan Youth!

My favorite NYxHC band ever - let me rephrase that. The best NYxHC band period, The Reagan Youth. Here's "Degenerated" (as made famous by the very disappointing movie, Airheads).

Orgasm Addict!

Now that I have your attention, here's my favorite Buzzcocks song, "Orgasm Addict".

Toots and the Maytals Part 2!

Here's the promised part 2. "54-46 Was My Number" and "Monkey Man" are today's songs.

Toots and the Maytals: Part 1

Two songs each part. Two parts, two days. Here's Toots and the Maytals with "Pressure Drop" and "Sweet and Dandy" both off of The Harder They Come soundtrack (which by the way is the coolest soundtrack of all time). Time to get your reggae on.

Dan's Final Post: The Replacements!

Kids Don't Follow - The Replacements

And now for the final post on Dan Cas week (plus two days). Sorry for the lack of posts I had a bust weekend, not that you care. Anyway The Replacements are one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time. They've gone through many styles, yet never sold out their sound. Their "Stink - EP" is their hard core punk sound. It's deep, as much as a punk album can be. Enjoy the song, look up more by the band, and thanks for reading.

The Return of Dan: Say Anything!

Little Girls - Say Anything

Say Anything. Hardcore pop-punk. Genres that don't mix, but who cares? This is one of their heaviest songs. Its heavy and simple and rocks all the way rock.

P.S. This is a confession.

-Dan Cas

Post #50! Devo!

I've got an uncontrollable urge to call out mongoloid, Dan Cas, for dissing Devo. He isn't posting because today is the 50th PRN post! Here is, uh, "Uncontrollable Urge."



Totally bummed I didn't get to see them today, but whatever. I'll have to see them when they do finish the tour.

PARTY HARD WITH ANDREW W.K.!

It's Ian today. Dan gets a break. No need for an explanation for this song. Nobody knows how to party like Andrew W.K. Not even P-Funk or Nick Cannon.



Party hard!

Dan Cas Day 5: The Foo Fighters!

Rock God Dave Grohl grew up on punk. Hell he used to be in Scream before Nirvana. And while now he's the king of the alt rock scene, every now and then we can see his punk upbringing come out. This track is from the first Foo Fighters album, in which Grohl played every single instrument for every song except one guitar part. That's right, every sound on this track is 100% Dave Grohl. And that's why it's awesome.



[Ian's Note:] Dan is wrong. Dave Grohl is not the king of alt rock - he's the king of all rock!
And here's "Gas Chamber" off Rock Against Bush Vol. 2. I felt like it really needed to be in this post. It's an Angry Samoans cover.

Dan Cas Day 4: The Pixies!

Like Alternative rock? You can thank the Pixies for that. The band is basically directly and indirectly responsable for changing the scene, especially with their softLOUDsoft formula. The Sad Punk is kinda like that in a way too. It starts out punky and jaded, gets a little softer, than picks it right back up. While known for their revolutionary alternative sound thier album (which this is off of) Tromple Le Monde has some good punk tracks, this being the best. Happy listenings.

Dan Cas Day 3: Dramarama!

Anything, Anything - Dramarama

Before I start talking about the song say the band's name. Do it. Isn't it fun to say? Now let's begin.

Angst mixed with anything is awesome. Angst mixed with punk? Even better? You know that frustration you feel when you want something/someone so badly and you'd do anything just to get it/them? Yeah that's what this jingle is about. And it's so truthful and painful. You hear the pain and the promise in the singer's voice as he sings. He's really upset and passionete (I spelt that wrong and I don't care) and that's what makes this song so great. Listen. Now. NOW!

Dan Cas Day 2: Piebald!

Today's punk post won't just feature a song, but an entire album. Why? Because Piebald is totally underrated and needs the exposer. Plus their album "We Are The Only Friends That We Have" is an incredible album that deserves to be taken a look at.

The record starts off with "King of the Road", a great introduction song that gives you a humorous update on the band and mourns their former tour bus. "American Hearts" is the biggest hit off the album and rightfully so. It has so much energy and is great to sing along to. I was lucky enough to see the band perform one of their reunion shows at Bamboozle and this has got to be one of the best songs I've ever seen live. "The Monkey Verses the Robot" is my personal favorite. It sticks it to the man and the work force but is also very fun. It just makes you wanna move and sing.

Other greats off the album include "Karate Chops For Everyone But Us", a standard but great punk song that takes a look at band life, "Rich People Can Breed" a spicy one that mixes hard punk with some softer alternative, and "The Stalker" a hand clapping song that will feel right at home with other songs on this blog. However, the point of the post isn't to review every song (though I'd gladly and I've already done half the album) but to focus on the album as a whole. It's one of the most consistant, well put together albums I've heard. It's edgey, its punk, and its personal. The band put a lot of heart into this one and it shows. Below are a few songs off the album but please check out more.







Rock On. Dan.

Dan Cas Takes Over PRN! Nirvana!

Welcome everyone to Dan Cas Week on Punk Rawk Noize. I decided to give my good friend Ian of the blog a nice weekly vacation. I have my own blog over at thedancas.wordpress.com, where I'm counting down my top 287 songs. We're gonna do it my way this week which means longer posts, some familiar bands with obscure songs, some bands you've never heard of, and some punk classics. And we're keeping it punk all week long.

First off to ease everyone in: Grunge goes Punk. How's this sound for a song: Nirvana and The Screaming Trees covering a Leadbelly song in a surprisingly punk manner. Well it's real. The song is Ain't It a Shame and features Nirvana's Kurt Cobain on vocals, Krist Novoselic on bass, and the Screaming Trees' (and Queens of the Stone Age's) Mark Lanegan on guitar and Mark Pickerel on drums (yay Marks!) The song actually does have some good values. Like why beat your wife on a Sunday when you have the rest of the week? Good point. Happy Wife Beating Day Off, man. Enjoy the song.

Mad Caddies!

Here is one of the best songs I have ever heard, from an awesome, awesome band. "Mary Melody" by The Mad Caddies!

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, THE AGGROLITES, AND BAD F'N RELIGION!

I went to a sick Bad Religion show tonight, lost my voice, got a setlist, and met Greg Hetson. Best night ever? Probably. Here is one song from each band that played tonight.

OWTH - "Drive"


The Aggrolites - "Free Time"


Bad Religion - "American Jesus"

NoFX and Bonus!

The greatest written punk song of all time, hands down. I now give you, "Linoleum" off Punk In Drublic.



And East Brunswick's own Streetlight Manifesto!!!!

Smash Mouth?

Smash Mouth?! Punk rock?! No way. What? No, I've never heard of "Let's Rock" from Fush You Mang. Well here it is, so check it out.



How 'bout them apples.

Green Jellö!

Today's song is by the really awesome band, Green Jellö. Why is their name Green Jellö? Because Green Jello sucks and they know they suck. In fact they try to suck so much that their slogan is Green Jellö Sux! Here's the hilarious video for "The Three Little Pigs" off the video album, Cereal Killer.


GREEN JELLY - THREE LITTLE PIGS
Uploaded by noriko75. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

Lagwagon!

Today's song is a really cool demo and the regular song for Lagwagon's "Bury the Hatchet". Which one do you like more? Personally, I prefer the demo.

Strung Out!

This is an awesome, awesome, awesome guitar song. One of the best ever, in my opinion. So here is "Too Close To See" by Strung Out.



Fuck yeah! Oh and join us on Facebook if you haven't yet!

Pepper!

Going to see Pepper tonight, so here's "Give It Up"!



EDIT: Oh, and Dan Cas had the same song on his blog on the same day (maybe it had to do with the fact we both saw Pepper), so here's his deeper (pun intended) post on "Give It Up" - http://thedancas.wordpress.com/2010/10/16/248-give-it-up-pepper/

The Real McKenzies!

Here's some good ol' Scottish punk! The Real McKenzies' "Loch Lomond".

Larry Arms!

Here's another from the Lawrence Arms, called "100 Resolutions" off Cocktails and Dreams.

	The Lawrence Arms - 100 Resolutions .mp3
	Found at bee mp3 search engine

Only Crime!

Featuring Russ Rankin of Good Riddance, Zach Blair of Rise Against, and Bill Stevenson of The Descendents, here's Only Crime with "Take Me" off Virulence.

	Only Crime - Take Me .mp3
	Found at bee mp3 search engine

Their cds are usually only $2-$3 used at a record store and they are so worth it.

Weezer!

Most people don't think of Weezer as a band that could ever be considered punk. Well, to them I show this outtake from the Blue Album, "Paperface".



Take that! =w=

Anti-Flag!

Anti-Flag is one of the best punk bands of the last decade. They are straight up punk unlike many other bands right now. Here is "Angry, Young and Poor" from Underground Network.

Rancid!

Rancid is one of the coolest bands ever. They formed after Operation Ivy broke up and kicked ass from their very first song and ever since. Here is "Maxwell Murder". This is the craziest bass solo I've ever heard.

The Dead Milkmen!

There aren't many cooler band names than The Dead Milkmen. They're one of Brendan Kelly's favorite bands too. Here's "Instant Club Hit".

	The Dead Milkmen - Instant Club Hit .mp3
	Found at bee mp3 search engine

If you haven't checked it out yet, check out our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Punk-Rawk-Noize/158360677510287.

The Dwarves!

The Dwarves are one of the best punk bands around now. Here's "Back Seat of My Car".

HorrorPops!

Psychobilly! Patricia Day + Kim Nekroman = HorrorPops. Good shit. Here's "Crawl Straight Home".

SS Decontrol!

There is only one way to describe this song - hardcore. Here is "Boiling Point" by SS Decontrol.



Few more songs on the video too. Enjoy!

The Decline by NoFX!

MOST EPIC SONG EVER! Over 18 minutes long! Here's "The Decline" by NoFX.

Pour Habit!

Cool new band that's touring with Pepper right now. Gonna see them with Dan Cas in like two weeks. Awesome song. Short sentences without much of a point are cool. Here's "Institution" off Suiticide.



Song's dope, ain't it?

The Misfits + AFI + NoFX + Metallica = ?

"Last Caress." Originally by the legendary Lodi, NJ horror-punks, The Misfits, the song is typical Misfits material, with a strong Ramones influence, howling vocals, and '50s horror movie style lyrics.



And now AFI's version.



And now NoFX's version.



And finally, Metallica's version + their cover of "Green Hell."



Fourplay today. What comes tomorrow?

Shame In Dem Game!

The what happens when the world's best ska-punk band collaborates with one of hardcore's best vocalists? Awesomeness. Here is a live performance of HR's "Shame in Dem Game" by Sublime and HR off Everything Under the Sun, Sublime's box set.



For those of you who don't know, HR is the lead vocalist of D.C. Rasta punks, Bad Brains. Bad Brains practically invented hardcore way back when and are still considered one of, if not the, best hardcore punk band of all time. Everybody knows Sublime from "Santeria" and "What I Got", but this box set shows a whole different side of them. They cover Minor Threat and the Descendents on the box set as well as many other bands too. I would definitely check it out.

Toots and the Maytals!

Every once in a while, I need a day to just slow down and relax. On those days, I just sit back and listen to the easy pleasing music of Toots and the Maytals - '60s and '70s ska. They were incredibly important in the reggae and ska movements in Jamaica and all over the world. Here is "Pressure Drop" off the soundtrack for The Harder They Come starring Jimmy Cliff.

Operation Ivy!

The second best ska-punk band ever (Sublime's #1 without a doubt), Operation Ivy perfectly blended 80's hardcore with 2 tone ska. Here is "Unity" off their only full-length album, Energy. 

Take A Stance!

Easily the best song on Bad Religion's new album, "The Resist Stance" is punk rock at it's best. It's fast, witty, politically charged and anthemic. I picked up the new album yesterday around 9:30 and pretty much listened to it non-stop since. I can't wait to see them with Jake Katz next month. Guess what, everybody, Dead to Me unveiled their fall tour dates and they play the same night as BR. Both bands mean a lot to me and I still have not recovered from that initial wtf, Dead to Me? moment when I read the date. And it's with the Flatliners too! Oh well. BR will be great anyway and Off With Their Heads and the Aggrolites are opening (but the Bouncing Souls skipped this date, which is closest to New Brunswick [again, wtf?])



RIP Greg Giraldo, roasts will never be the same without you.

The Flatliners!

The new Flatliners 7" comes out today, so here is their song "Monumental" from their brand new Monumental 7". This is an awesome band from Canada (just like Propagandhi) and are barely old enough to buy a beer. This song sounds pretty Gaslight Anthem-ish, but they have about a bazillion different sounds. Check 'em out.



Alright, NCIS is almost on so I gotta go. See ya'll later.
