May 19, 2013 By
Not only do I dislike the word veteran in relation to bands like NoMeansNo, the lazy genre box that is progressive punk joins in too.

In Your Battery Face
May 14, 2013 By
As much as I’d like to pigeonhole BATTERY FACE with phrases like noise-rock or post-punk, the truth is they’re not as two dimensional as you might expect. Their well-crafted, intelligent songs even managed to stand their ground when sharing a bill with Sub Pop’s hardcore riff demons METZ. No easy task! In case you’re unfamiliar […]More »
