If you were in the position of the lead singer of The Story So Far what would you have done? What would you have done instead of drop kicking her off stage?

Either tap her on the shoulder and kindly ask her to get off the stage; probably help her find a safe and accessible exit if she’s flustered or adrenalined out–or, you know, take a Louisville Slugger to the back of her head until she slips on her own blood and tumbles off the stage like an idiot. Defend pop-punk, pizza, tank tees. Picture of an alien with a hat on backwards riding a long board; slice in hand. Who is going to save that entire world of music from itself? I guess Joyce Manor.-Josh

Last week I went to go party like it was 2002 with a trip back in time to see Darkbuster, Tiger Army, and Dropkick Murphys. Here’s a little preview of what I saw.

Keep an eye on Punktastic for full sets coming soon.

On Saturday, I had the privilege of covering the second night of Roger Harvey, Cheap Girls, and the Loved Ones at the Cobra Lounge. Here’s a quick preview of a few favorites from the many more pictures I have to get through. 

Keep an eye on Punktastic for the full sets coming soon.

christmas eve what about christmas adam

[qoti]

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

[forfuturereferenceonly]

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Christmas Adam: December 23rd. Comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying.
