New Marilyn Manson (Oct. 6th)

First, and for most Marilyn Manson's new album "Heaven Upside Down" will be released on Oct. 6th, formerly known as "Say10" Manson's 10th studio album was pushed back for whatever reason, originally set to be released on Feb. 14th, 2017. "Heaven Upside Down" is now up for preorder on the iTunes Store and the new single "WE KNOW WHERE YOU FUCKING LIVE" is streaming now on Spotify. The impression I got from the single was that this new album may very well be similar to 2015's "Pale Emperor". I'm totally stoked on this album due in large part to anticipating it earlier this year and having it pushed back to October.

Album review: Fare Game - "Breakin' Rules EP"

This is an EP that I've been anticipating for months now and it was well worth the wait. California punk rockers Fare Game's debut EP is a must listen for anyone who thinks "punk is dead" in 2017. These guys gave it their all, you can hear the passion in the music. I will recommend this to any fan of the genre, this is a sign of great things to come from these guys. Hit them up on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FAREGAMEmusic/ ...and at their website: https://faregameband.com/ I love ya dudes🖤

New Propagandhi!

Propagandhi have a new album titled "Victory Lap" releasing on Epitaph Records in September. A lot of people have a gripe with this track, mostly because of the metal sound contrary to what fans of Propagandhi are used to. But anyways download the single here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hps96wghoprbw4a/%5BP-VL-2017%5D.rar

Ten albums that changed my life

10. System Of A Down - “System Of A Down” - This could have easily been Toxicity or Steal This Album but there is something special about their debut self titled album. 9. NOFX - “Punk In Drublic” - NOFX is one of my favorite bands of all time. My favorite album by them is actually Pump Up The Valuum but Punk In Drublic takes the cake for me. 8. Biggie Smalls - “Ready To Die” - My mother listened to a lot of rap when I was younger, such as Tupac, Biggie, Wu Tang, so on and so fourth. This of course rubbed off a bit on me. Ready To Die is probably one of the first albums I’ve ever listened to. It didn’t take long for me to develop a taste for old school rap. As much as I enjoy old school rap. Punk is where my heart is. 7. Millencolin - “Life On A Plate” - This is another situation where an album easily could’ve been another album. In this case this spot could’ve been taken by the Home From Home EP. Life On A Plate is an amazing album with mad replayability. 6. Bad Religion - “Recipe For Hate” - I have no other words. Except for Bad Religion is amazing. 5. Dead Kennedys - “Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables” - I don’t know how I got halfway through this list without putting a DK album on it. DK have a distinct sound different from other punk bands in the same era. Jello Biafra is the personification of “I don’t give a fuck what you think” and that’s what makes them great. 4. CKY - “Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild” - Watching Jackass/CKY/Viva La Bam made me love CKY and another band you’ll see on this list. 3. His Infernal Majesty (H.I.M) - “Razorblade Romance” - One of the only goth bands I’m into H.I.M and their love metal sound made me who I am today. 2. Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine With their antiestablishment message and rebellious lyrics Rage helped me understand that everyone has voice and the right to use it. Self titled by Rage is still one the best albums I ever heard. 1. Sublime - Sublime I guess self titled albums are the best. Brad Nowell is one of my favorite musicians and a huge reason I picked up a guitar in the first place. Sublime and their unique sound will have a special place in my heart forever. RIP Brad and Louie.

Album review: Alkaline Trio - "Good Mourning"

I can still recall the first time I listened to this album. It was in 2007 when Limewire was still relatively relevant. I had just starting listening to punk about a year before this in 2006 when I heard NOFX for the first time on YouTube but that’s a different story for another time. Back to the album review, 2003's Good Mourning would be on a top ten list of albums that changed my life (stay tuned for that). This is something about this album that makes me just so happy.. maybe it's the melodic pop punk-ish/goth overtone or the fact that this album kicks ass in general. I feel like this is a good album for any going through any shitty feelings like sadness due to a break up mainly. As a new Alkaline Trio album is unlikely because Matt Skiba's involvement with Blink 182 but the band themselves never announced a split so it is always possible. The album as whole showcases Alkaline at their best in my opinion. If melodic pop punk is your thing this album and most of Alkaline's discography is totally worth checking out as for Good Mourning I have a Mediafire link so you can download this album: http://www.mediafire.com/file/lz8cn7dz028nuvb/AT-GM2003.zip

Album review: 88 Fingers Louie - "Thank You For Being A Friend"

Chicago punkers 88 Fingers Louie are back with their brand new album titled "Thank You For Being A Friend" that was released this past Friday. All 12 tracks are pure awesome. I've listened to this album at least 5 times in full since Friday. Advice Column is my personal favorite track on the album, releasing on Bird Attack Records this is definitely a great comeback album. I hope to hear more from 88FL. I hope we don't have to wait another 18 years for a new album. I definitely recommend this to any long time or new fan of the band. This album is available for purchase on iTunes but here's a link to download the album on Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qftt1s7mqfkn7cn/88FL-TFBF2017.zip
