  on Mar 3, 2010 in punk music protest the hero silverunity
  Ahh... Protest The Hero. One of my favorite bands that receive pretty mainstream success with their albums Kezia and Fortress. These days, Canada's Protest The Hero is often labeled as a proto-progressive metal band, but they didn't start out that...

• Witch Hunt - Burning Bridges To Nowhere (For fans of F-Minus, Aus Rotten, Leftover Crack)
  on Feb 26, 2010 in punk music witch hunt silverunity crust
  The whole female/male dual vocals found in crust punk is incredibly difficult to pull off. The general idea is to take the usually harsh dude's vocals and have it melodically mix in with the (slightly) less harsh and dudette's voice. The problem is t...

  on Feb 19, 2010 in music street punk casualties silverunity
  Man, The Casualties get a lot of shit from the punk scene. I've heard complaints ranging from they just recycle riffs (Ramones anyone?) , they care too much about their hair (I'm not looking at them on CD buddy), their fans are all younger (we all st...
