Punk-o-Rama

In September of 1996, the Descendents release their first full LP of new material since in 9 years. Everything Sucks brought the band back into a world that was now populated with countless bands they themselves had inspired. With a culture now primed to understand what they were doing so many years ago, Everything Sucks became the Descendents’s first album to chart, however their reunion was not met with universal acclaim. Chris Enriquez (Primitive Weapons, On The Might Of Princes, REVOLVER Magazine) joins to discuss Milo’s return and how the band has “been here for you all along”.

Refused’s The Shape of Punk to Come (1998) (or The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chemical Bombination in 12 Bursts) is no stranger to short lists of the best punk albums of all time. The album’s liner notes states that punk and hardcore music could not be anti-establishment by continuing to package revolutionary lyrics in sounds which had been increasingly co-opted by the mainstream.

In between lead singers, The Dillinger Escape plan teamed up with the legendary Mike Patton on a four song EP that combined elements of metal & hardcore, highlighting the band’s tremendous technical acuity and wrapped it all in a self-aware production style. The EP was titled “Irony Is A Dead Scene” (2002). Discussing the record is Jimmy Rhodes [http://theatlantictransmission.com/talent/jimmy-rhodes/] (We Were Black Clouds) in the second of the trio of this season’s DC recordings.

“A lot of fans have certain expectations from us; they want silly songs about BMXs or Ole again and again. Every song won’t be a carbon copy of your favourites Souls song. It’s one big long life story, having many different episodes and chapters. This is what we’ve always done, write from the heart. That is our essence and will never change.” – Bryan Kienlen I took a trip down to Washington DC to interview a few friends about some records. This was the episode that got me down there. I spoke to artist, illustrator and entrepreneur Jeffrey “El Jefe” Everett [http://theatlantictransmission.com/talent/jeffrey-everett/] about his favorite Bouncing Souls record Anchors Aweigh (2003).
