They are true punk pioneers of the genre as they've toured every corner of the globe several times over and have insisted on holding true to their punk ethics. No band has achieved more success independently, and they've done it all without help from MTV or any other aspect of the corporate rock industry. Although they're reluctant to admit it, they're musically influenced by bands like Bad Religion, Misfits, RKL, etc. At least they were back in in the day, now they do all the influencing.

The Slackers sound is pure roots, but still innovative. While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music through an American lens. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, 60's soul, rock, and R & B as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub and ska. It is as if the Rolling Stones or the Yardbirds had grown up on Bob Marley as well as Muddy Waters.

MTX (known by the long-form The Mr. T Experience) has been a ferociously inventive band since their 1986 self-released debut album, "Everyone's Entitled To Their Own Opinion." 10 albums and over 200,000 in sales later, MTX is still better at what they do than anyone else. What began as a Brit-influenced art punk band became one of the earliest and most compelling pop punk bands of all time. MTX has kept growing over the years, pushing pop songwriting and arranging as a post-pop punk rock band. The 13 songs of their latest release "Yesterday Rules" sounds like what they are: the creation of a songwriter who has created and mastered genres and is at the height of his powers. Dr. Frank's songs are so consistently catchy and witty that is almost easy to take the output of his remarkable band for granted. But to do so and miss out on the amazing new songs would be a mistake!

20050611 Pollo del Mar, Surf Cinema, Bezerkers, Concaves

This was a fun surf show at the Brookdale Lodge in the Santa Cruz mountains. This photo is of Surf Cinema rocking out in front of a 60's batman clip. Good stuff.

Messing around

How annoying is this?
