Swank, aka Swank of Staring Problem and Shore Style Punk Night & NJHC

Riverbed w/Evan & Chris

Catching a band on a whim some time ago – on the notion I felt good enough to head out to this show at a burger joint after hours. This is what I ask myself before I head out to every show nowadays. And then you catch a band that you are blown away by, you get caught up with and end up following them and buying there merch and music and when they play you go see them again and again. Riverbed are continuously improving there sound and on there new Mourning Lovers EP you can hear the range that they offer. Go check them out. Enjoy!

Rob Huddleston of Ann Beretta

Getting to talk to Rob was a pleasure. During this talk he asked about what draws me to or what I like about the Bitter Tongues album. I had an answer but as I sat with this for a bit after the talk, I wondered what this bad has meant to me. I expressed it in a poem as this is how I express myself in life.   Please have a listen and enjoy! 3 Chords, Our Truth and the Capacity we Hold in Ourselves Words un - ended Exchanged in unison Hellos, goodbyes and see you later my friends We were all drawn to this, to scream and shout out our imperfections and frustrations, all while finding out who we are Sometimes it begins Sometimes it ends  Sometimes it gets picked back up again It's a coming together of like minds What you create is a gift  And you have given The one thing I have learned over the years is that everything can shift the older we get As to where it goes is still open I am living and embracing myself in a way I only ever dreamed of by reaching out and sharing that with whoever wants to listen I hope it can become -  what some call inspiration - to others like this Richmond punk band has done for me  They have been a voice that has helped me define a relationship with the experiences I have lived in these moments that I’ve had with the music that we all share!
