FILM REVIEW | MY CAREER AS A JERK

2/9/2021

photo manipulation by nacrowe
the no frills documentary MY CAREER AS A JERK (WE GOT POWER FILMS, 2012) is very much a basic run through of the career of HARDCORE legends THE CIRCLE JERKS with a focus on their wild, kinetic frontman KEITH MORRIS.  included are grainy live performance footage from nearly every incarnation of the band as well as interviews with MORRIS and past CIRCLE JERKS bandmates GREG HETSON, LUCKY LEHRER, EARL LIBERTY and ZANDER SCHLOSS as well as contemporaries of the 80s HARDCORE scene like HENRY ROLLINS (BLACK FLAG), J MASCIS (DEEP WOUND, DINOSAUR JR), BRIAN BAKER (MINOR THREAT, DAG NASTY) and GREG GRAFFIN (BAD RELIGION).

i dont want to say that this film was a cash grab, but in terms of its editing and overall narrative cohesion it is a bit uneven.  at no point did i get a sense of what made them special relative to their peers or their contributions to the 80s HARDCORE scene other than that they existed.  instead we are given a behind the scenes at tensions within the band and the immense risk involved in maintaining a HARDCORE band longterm.  that was my big takeaway at least.  in a fluid musical scene in which its members prided themselves on being spontaneous and in the moment, any type of longevity in such a combustible environment with their credibility still intact is an accomplishment in and of itself.  maybe the point of this film was to answer fans why a CIRCLE JERKS reunion in the 2010s was not in the cards as MORRIS was very much pursuing his work in OFF!, which very much stands up to his catalogue with gusto.

if you are completist than this film is worth your time, otherwise i would implore you to consider reading MORRIS' stellar MY DAMAGE: THE STORY OF A PUNK ROCK SURVIVOR (DA CAPO, 2016) memoir instead (review linked HERE).

with the resurgence in interest in vinyl records that has been going on for the past two decades in the wake of streaming, the mp3 and the obliteration of the compact disc as viable format, HARDCORE icon and vinyl aficionado HENRY ROLLINS has been teaming up with online retailer THE SOUND OF VINYL and UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP's promotions and outreach website UDISCOVER MUSIC to create a series of videos about his love of vinyl and those artist that create it.

ROLLINS' curating efforts over the past few years on this accord have included tutorials, artist recommendations and interviews with artists, directors and independent label owners.  basically everything a novice would like to know about starting a collection and where to start, but were afraid to ask.  ROLLINS at his age is over the industry, so he comes off as a no-bullshit, straightforward guide with no pretensions.  and thank god for that since lord knows that elitism is what drives people away from record stores.

i enjoy watching these and my hope is that both companies expand such with other noteworthy curators.  my suggestions: CHUCK D, BRIAN ENO, GEORGE CLINTON, DAVID BYRNE, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA, RICHARD DAVID JAMES, NEIL YOUNG, Q-TIP, CORNELIUS and JOHNNY MARR.  one can only dream.

below are ROLLINS' record recommendations.  in the future i'll post further articles highlighting some of his interviews.  this is still very much a current and developing endeavor.

BOOK REVIEW | "HE HEPATITIS BATHTUB & OTHER STORIES" BY NOFX & JEFF ALULIS

12/21/2020

this was an interesting one.

THE HEPATITIS BATHTUB AND OTHER STORIES (DA CAPO, 2016) by NOFX with JEFF ALULIS seems at heart to be a distant PUNK ROCK cousin of the similarly structured and similarly debauched legendary MOTLEY CRUE memoir THE DIRT (reviewed HERE).  both spend the majority of their ink going on a bout drug addiction and various inventive forms of self abuse that saw a wake of emotional turmoil and human destruction in their wake.

call me a prude but tales of degradation, violence and selfish behavior in the extreme bores me.  to me it just screams as a cry for attention and deep need for outside validation.  in other words its very un-PUNK ROCK.

NOFX are the children of the LOS ANGELES HARDCORE scene in the 1980s when more aggressive bands from the SOUTH BAY and ORANGE COUNTY got involved and upped the violence quotient considerably.  before that moment it was more of an inclusive art scene with eclectic musical approaches and a crowd that reflected such.  NOFX is emblematic of a shift to a more streamlined, aggressive, less socially conscious brand of PUNK ROCK that decidedly had more to do with WHITE MALE AGGRESSION than the prior ethos of individuality, self-responsibility and empowering your community.

for me what made this book interesting were the times that NOFX shifted away from the sophomoric frat house routine they are renowned for and put their collective backbone into some type of cause.  NOFX singer / main songwriter / bassist FAT MIKE put his name and independent record label FAT WRECK CHORDS as the muscle behind the PUNKVOTER website in order to get his fans out voting, specifically with the aim of getting GEORGE W. BUSH out of office.  obviously it didn't work but that is the point, it marks FAT MIKE and the band as having an interesting in speaking truth to power and encouraging civic engagement and self-empowerment.  in other words i'd argue the definition of PUNK ROCK.

another strain throughout FAT MIKE's narrative is his growing confidence to let his passion for fetishism and S&M to be expressed in his music more openly, not guarded behind the knowing wink of a joke.  although originally introduced to us in the first few pages as a means of titillation and shock value, what transpires over the course of the story is how such for him is a means of identity with a correlating community supporting such endeavors.  in a way, its as normal as a country club or a knitting circle, it is just another means at deriving a community and in a strange sense this book offers an insider's look at the appeal and benefits of such a non-mainstream community.

lastly i want to mention that for me the most compelling of the several individual narratives that made up each chapter (again, in similar fashion to THE DIRT), was that of NOFX drummer ERIK "SMELLY" SANDIN and his relationship with drugs.  i feel that out of all the members, his story was the most depraved.  the damage he did to himself and his surrounding community was insanely hardcore and fueled entirely by an intense sense of self-loathing rooted in a troubled childhood.  the narcotics and the "friends" he picked up thereafter were just symptomatic of that need to belong.  it sounds so simple, but his journey was one of discovery one's own self-worth, even through the haze of drug addiction.  and he was a legendary degenerate junkie for that matter.  COURTNEY LOVE referred to him as the worst junkie she'd ever seen due in part to his lack of ability to control his symptoms, puking and passing out with no regard for his surroundings.  the idea that he can come out of that arguably present himself as one of the more responsible members of the band is a testament to his efforts.

i do want to also commend guitarist ERIC MELVIN for sharing his experience of being social abused as a child.  its beyond courageous and should be celebrated as such.  hopefully it will result in other victims feeling like there is a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

that being said, as a fan of NOFX, my only gripe with this book is about how little of this book dealt with the actual music.  as a band that has highly referential lyrics to specific people and places, there were only a few nuggets thrown out there to clarify such.  maybe that was a conscious decision but in my mind it was an unfortunate one.  most of the material in this book is beyond cliche, especially with regard to ROCK AND ROLL memoirs in general.  

if debauched behavior by ROCK AND ROLL bands is what you are voyeuristically seeking to learn about then THE DIRT is the way to go.  if you are interested in learning about the 1980s HARDCORE scene or the 90s POP PUNK explosion there are several other books more insightful than this one.

i wasn't disappointed, just underwhelmed with this book.  i think if the tone was a little more somber at points, as well as axing that ridiculous cover, the utter depravity and bleakness of its content would be a bit easier to swallow.  instead i am left with being sure how they feel about their band history, which is confusing as a fan.   

seek this book out only if you are a committed fan of the group.  otherwise there are arguably better books on the subject of LOS ANGELES HARDCORE scene and its transitions to the 90s and beyond.

HENRY ROLLINS GET IN THE VAN (review linked HERE), KEITH MORRIS' MY DAMAGE (review linked HERE) BAD RELIGION's DO WHAT YOU WANT (review linked HERE) and JON DOE's UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN (review linked HERE) all immediately come to mind.  LEXICON DEVIL, AMERICAN HARDCORE, WE GOT THE NEUTRON BOMB and WE'RE NOT HERE TO ENTERTAIN are good options as well.

FILM REVIEW | SALAD DAYS: A DECADE OF PUNK IN WASHINGTON, DC (1980-90)

12/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
photo manipulation by nacrowe
as its pragmatic title entails, SALAD DAYS (NEW ROSE FILMS, 2014) is a comprehensive look back at the evolution and enduring cultural legacy of the WASHINGTON D.C. HARDCORE scene of the 1980s.  utilizing interviews from both from members of countless participating bands as well as (interesting choice) scenesters of the period, you really get the sense about how an idea sparks a scene which sparks a movement and the implications of such.  what blows my mind is that everything discussed was accomplished for the most part by a bunch of kids in their teens and early 20s.  makes me wonder what ive accomplished.

​at the essence of this whole scene is a strong DIY ethic.  in the aftermath of the PUNK explosion of the late 1970s, there was a small group of like-minded teenagers in D.C. who listened to THE CRAMPS, IGGY POP and THE RAMONES and fought off redneck suburban kids attempting to beat them to a pulp for dressing different.  this confrontational day-to-day existence manifested itself in a small scene of kids who picked up instruments and started bands.  these bands developed to the point that a local record shop, in a very HIGH FIDELITY (TOUCHSTONE PICTURES, 2000) moment, helped them learn to record at a nearby studio with a producer and manufacture vinyl records.  enter DISCHORD RECORDS.

at the hear to the scene is DISCHORD, which was essentially an excuse for IAN MCKAYE and JEFF NELSON to self-release and EP by their band THE TEEN IDLES. eventually the also released records by their friends and D.C. bands they thought people should hear.  DISCHORD through MCKAYE's next band MINOR THREAT become well known and helps draw attention to the label's roster, which some complain sucks the oxygen out of non-DISCHORD affiliated INDIE and PUNK groups from the area.  some of those bands even start their own labels like TEEN BEAT RECORDS and SIMPLE MACHINES.

as the scene gets bigger in the mid-80s through the increasing notoriety of the DISCHORD roster of bands (GOVERNMENT ISSUE, VOID, FAITH, S.O.A., etc), things begin to change.  kids show up from the suburbs and shows become decidedly more violent.  original bands grapple with the fact that these newcomers do not share their values.  things get increasingly desperate as racist SKINHEADS and destitute DRUNK PUNK show up and reek havoc.  all this while, again, most of the bands involved are barely in their 20s.
Picture
the scene begins to change as bands mature and get more introspective lyrically and experimental sonically.  a new generation "emotional hardcore" bands become prominent like EMBRACE and RITES OF SPRING and which result in effectively challenging their audiences expectations.  things also get more splintered as some bands get political as exemplified by the local outreach group POSITIVE FORCE who put on numerous shows as well as musical protests of the SOUTH AFRICAN embassy for its then-APARTHEID government.  this came to be known as REVOLUTION SUMMER.

for some this new explicitly political focus through benefit shows and protests was pedantic at best and HIPPIE-ish at worst.  it splintered the bands much as the STRAIGHT EDGE movement had done years before.  STRAIGHT EDGE was a MINOR THREAT song about not needing intoxicants to have a good time, in fact not doing so gave them the "straight edge."  people took MCKAYE's personal affirmation as dogma, as followers tend to do, and it created confusion amongst the scene about how people could act at shows.  was drinking now bad?

through all the variations and misinterpretations of this scene, it seems the biggest impact was their intense DIY ethic and sense of community.  in the end the idea of creating a scene from nothing showcases how empowering an idea such as PUNK ROCK can be.  the democratizing of instruments to all levels of musician's most have been exhilarating when PUNK ROCK first came about.

my only grief is that the empowerment of the still relative dearth of prominent modern PUNK or INDIE bands that express the perspectives of minorities and those of the LGBTQIA community.  watching this documentary cognizant of what came in its wake, it still feels like PUNK ROCK is a white boys club pissing on one another.  the industry has changed but the players have not, no matter how woke they.

hopefully this next generation will take the cue from PUNK ROCK and empower themselves to advocate structural change moving forward.  they'll have to do it themselves.

BOOK REVIEW | "DO WHAT YOU WANT: THE STORY OF BAD RELIGION" BY BAD RELIGION WITH JIM RULAND

10/15/2020

photo & text by nacrowe
with the rise and proliferation of RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION, CLIMATE SCIENCE DENIALISM, the SOCIAL MEDIA BOTS, AMERICAN WHITE NATIONALISM and rampant cable news sanctioned XENOPHOBIA being experienced across the UNITED STATES, its likely that there has ever been a more prescient time for a book about SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HARDCORE PUNK ROCK legends BAD RELIGION than our current TRUMPIAN post-fact moment of existential peril.  when i consider their influence and legacy, ironically what comes to mind is how throughout their career they seemed very much focused on the present.   HARDCORE PUNK ROCK, especially those that descended on the original  LOS ANGELES/HOLLYWOOD scene in the early 1980s once the SOUTH BAY, ORANGE COUNTY and the bland extended SUBURBAN wastelands of places like OXNARD and the SAN FERNANDO VALLEY (where the members of BAD RELIGION resided) joined the party all were inherently aggressively transgressive.

but BAD RELIGION was different.  as pointed out repeatedly in their recently published autobiography DO WHAT YOU WANT: THE STORY OF BAD RELIGION (HATCHETTE BOOKS, 2020), written by current and past members of BAD RELIGION with help from scribe JIM RULAND (who also collaborated on KEITH MORRIS' 2016 memoir, review linked HERE), the band was focused on using the template of PUNK ROCK as palette to project their musings and observations about how the world works.

the two central figures in this narrative are singer GREG GRAFFIN and guitarist BRETT GUREWITZ, who met through a mutual friend in high school.  their songs explore a strident philosophical strain that puts them in concert with the humanist tradition dating back to the enlightenment.  again, its beyond timely that their songs as treatises about issues both political and personal are being presented again in an era where lies and untruths have smothered both our political dialogue and our self-conception as AMERICANS.

but i should back up.  the book covers their origins, development and ability to move forward despite constantly revolving line-up shifts, music industry cycles and regressive political climates.  their independence and longevity is largely due to the relationship of GRAFFIN and GUREWITZ.  famously GRAFFIN pursued a side academic career as an EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST, receiving his doctorate from CORNELL UNIVERSITY no less, and his availability based on these pursuits both determined the schedule of the band and provided GUREWITZ the time and space to both run his independent label EPITAPH RECORDS and write songs for the band.  as fan, i always wondered how that arrangement worked.   through this book i learned that when the band jumped to ATLANTIC RECORDS it disrupted both GRAFFIN's academic schedule (as he made himself more available for extensive touring) and GUREWITZ' ability to pull double duty with the band and label, leading to his departure.

eventually the band came to a balance after fulfilling their major label contract after four albums to return to EPITAPH and allow GUREWITZ the freedom to produce and write songs, but not tour.  this arrangement has been going on now for the better part of twenty years and counting and no doubt has resulted in their longevity and current status as elder statesmen. 

for me they are the LENNON/MCCARTNEY of PUNK ROCK. i also feel that what JOE STRUMMER attempted to convey with limited success is what they both actually achieved as songwriters.  this is partly due to their songwriting prowess and production abilities, but i also feel it is due to their creativity and profoundly inquisitive nature.  i think longtime fans will be pleasantly surprised to learn how many songs were written by GUREWITZ that most no doubt assumed were GRAFFIN compositions.  GRAFFIN is renowned as the PUNK ROCK professor but GUREWITZ is very much his equal and this book sets the record straight on that accord.

great autobiography the presents them and their message of bringing intelligence and intellectual rigor to PUNK ROCK lyricism that is often maligned and derided, especially during the HARDCORE scene that birthed them.  if you are interested in PUNK ROCK or meaningful music that asks its listener to think for themselves, then definitely check out this book.

otherwise just go listen to KID ROCK.  or KANYE.

FILM REVIEW | PUNK: ATTITUDE

photo manipulation by nacrowe
PUNK: ATTITUDE (3DD PRODUCTIONS, 2005) by legendary DJ / MUSICIAN / DIRECTOR and original PUNK ROCK scenester DON LETTS is probably the most comprehensive documentary about the beginnings and evolution of PUNK ROCK, both stateside and in ENGLAND.  it includes an exhaustive yet entirely impressive cast of participants, many now deceased, whose insights provide an appreciation for the wide array of interests and backgrounds that led to the formation of the genre.  this includes, but not limited to, musicians such as JOHN CALE (THE VELVET UNDERGROUND), JELLO BIAFRA (THE DEAD KENNEDYS), MARTIN REV (SUICIDE), CHRISSIE HYNDE (THE PRETENDERS), DAVID JOHANSEN, SYLVAIN SYLVAIN & ARTHUR KANE (THE NEW YORK DOLLS), MICK JONES & PAUL SIMON (THE CLASH), DARYL JENIFER (BAD BRAINS), POLY STYRENE (X-RAY SPEX), HENRY ROLLINS (BLACK FLAG), WAYNE KRAMER (MC5), PAT SMEAR (THE GERMS), SIOUXSIE SIOUX (SIOUXSIE SIOUX & THE BANSHEES), TOMMY RAMONE (THE RAMONES), CAPTAIN SENSIBLE (THE DAMNED), ARI UP (THE SLITS), STEVE JONES & GLEN MATLOCK (THE SEX PISTOLS), THURSTON MOORE (SONIC YOUTH), K.K. BARRETT (THE SCREAMERS), RAY CAPO (YOUTH OF TODAY), GLENN BRANCA (THEORETICAL GIRLS), KEITH MORRIS (BLACK FLAG / CIRCLE JERKS), ROGER MIRET (AGNOSTIC FRONT), PETE SHELLEY & HOWARD DEVOTO (THE BUZZCOCKS), DEE POP (THE BUSH TETRAS), ALICE BAG (THE BAGS), RICHARD MANITOBA (THE DICTATORS), JAMES CHANCE (JAMES CHANCE & THE CONTORTIONS) and film director JIM JARMUSCH, CBGBs owner HILLY KRISTAL and various managers, writers, artists and photographers.  

i think one strong suit of this documentary is its ability to elucidate the long line of influence that followed one band to another over time.  how bands like THE DOORS influenced THE STOOGES who influenced THE SEX PISTOLS and BLACK FLAG and NIRVANA and so on.  in essence you see how bands such as THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, SUICIDE, THE DEAD KENNEDYS, PATTI SMITH, THE DAMNED and THE RAMONES (among many others) are all linked and part of a greater movement towards challenging, complicating, questioning and, in turn, revitalizing the form of ROCK AND ROLL.

examples provided included the concurrent POST PUNK and NO WAVE that came about after the first wave of PUNK ROCK.  both took the ethos of originality and freedom and applied such to the music, creating new takes on song structures and experimented with expanded palette of instruments.
Picture
the HARDCORE scene of the 1980s was the opposite of such in that songs got condensed and sped up even faster.  scenes that began with first wave PUNK adherents more interested in art and originality were taken over by HARDCORE bands that were largely aggressive and violent.  part of that anger was political at the REAGAN administration as well as a feeling that their lives were set to be disrupted by economic uncertainty.  that scene begat the ALTERNATIVE ROCK scene of the 1990s, or as JELLO BIAFRA puts it "punk inspired rock bands."  as the 1990s dragged on you get bands like KORN and LIMP BIZKIT with their dumbed down break down sections and shocking lack of social consciousness.

there was nothing revelatory about this documentary, but it serves as a welcome definitive statement about a genre for anyone new or interested in the place of PUNK ROCK in music history.  it really gets at the core idea of the genre in spite of its many permutations: that being the value being an individual.  finding your voice, whatever that may be, and speaking your truth vociferously with an almost disregard for the opposition.  thats a healthy sentiment for anyone to learn.

my only gripe with this film is that they spends way too much time talking about THE CLASH and JOE STRUMMER, but that is my own personal bias making itself apparent.  i still find that band, despite their influence, to be full of themselves.  just my opinion.

FILM REVIEW | THE SMART STUDIOS STORY

8/11/2020

Picture
photo manipulation by nacrowe
THE SMART STUDIOS STORY (CONEY ISLAND STUDIOS, 2016) is documentary about the outwardly unassuming yet highly influential recording studio in MADISON, WISCONSIN, that was founded and run by STEVE MARKER and BUTCH VIG.  the creation of the studio was at an interesting inflection point in american culture as there was a definite influx of underground HARDCORE and INDIE ROCK bands that were supported in earnest by college radio and a nationwide network of bars, VFW halls and small clubs not to mention independent promoters and independent record labels and record stores.  what connected all these stakeholders in the scene was a sense of self-reliance and DIY ETHIC.  maybe its simplistic to say that the puritan ethic of the midwest played a role in this community, but essentially this mindset led to an era of experimentation in music that was free of financial considerations, because none of this was supposed to go commercial.  given that VIG was a musician (drummer in local bad SPOONER with future GARBAGE collaborator DOUG ERIKSON) he also had the added benefit of being able to listen and suss out the needs of a band, how to bring out their sound in a fun, experimental atmosphere.  he was also able to know firsthand what worked and didn't work from a musician's perspective in "professional" studios.  i think his versatility is underrated and part of his work ethic and gets lost in the shuffle when success for his production duties gained global notoriety. 
​
enter NIRVANA and THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, the two bands whose albums NEVERMIND (DGC, 1991) and SIAMESE DREAM (VIRGIN, 1993) altered the landscape for VIG and the underground scene seemingly overnight with the inception of a financially viable ALTERNATIVE ROCK scene that was supported by commercial radio, promoters and the commercial infrastructure of corporate AMERICA.  this allowed VIG freedom in choosing projects since SMART STUDIOS was now a destination studio and his services a known commodity.

i think given that sea change it is to his credit that VIG along with MARKER and ERIKSON expanded their craft by utilizing technology and incorporating new techniques in their band GARBAGE.  for me their incorporation of HIP HOP and ELECTRONICA elements into a new hybrid style are one of the defining sounds of the 1990s.  the fusion of such is only that much more impressive given the cultural impact of his celebrated yet sonically more straightforward catalogue of ALTERNATIVE ROCK production work.

its ironic that this embrace of technology is also what brought down the studio, as digital recording software on personal computers made this DIY ETHIC spread to a new prosumer base of musicians.  the time had come to move on.

my takeaway from this documentary is that good music can come from anywhere, no matter how far off the beaten path.  SEATTLE, MINNEAPOLIS, PORTLAND.  in this case WISCONSIN.  innovation is a personal pursuit and must be met on its own merits.  in many ways BUTCH VIG's career as an established producer was entirely a fluke of circumstance.  on the other hand he was talented and was prepared to take advantage of opportunities when presented. 

makes me wonder what other crevices of the UNITED STATES or even the golbal scene have i not considered researching.  where should i look next?  because i'm always searching.

one reason i love having a radio show is that it gives me an excuse to investigate unfamiliar music genres really take a deep dive.  not being from NEW YORK and having most of my musical education take place outside the country, NYHC was something i was tangentially aware of given the influence of the scene on other bands (BEASTIE BOYS, RANCID, METALCORE groups).  around the time of the airing of this episode i had finished TONY RETTMAN's book (review linked HERE) on the subject NEW YORK HARDCORE 1980-90 (BAZILLION POINTS, 2014), which i highly recommend.

full disclosure:  i am an admire of the NYHC scene from afar but by no means am i an expert or a participant.  if you are looking for that, i highly suggest you seek out the WORLD ENRAGE SHOW on MAKERPARKRADIO.NYC and specifically the memorable EPISODE with special guest LOU of SICK OF IT ALL. 

i had fun doing the show and the prep work for it.  enjoy.

with a rhythm section that includes former members of RETOX, THE LOCUST and the almighty SLAYER, DEAD CROSS would be worth the price of admission alone before any mention of vocalist MIKE PATTON.  obviously PATTON is a gifted talent whose depth and range precede him, but what makes this project standout among his discography is its undiluted aggression and utter lack of subtlety.

this is a straight-up, confrontational spit-in-your-eye HARDCORE record in the best tradition of the genre.  it holds up with the discography of all members involved.

definitely worth diving into a check out.  love this band.

easily one of my favorite DEER GOD RADIO shows since its inception, this episode dedicated to 1980s HARDCORE is a topic i have further explored in book reviews for the likes of GET IN THE VAN (HENRY ROLLINS), MY DAMAGE (KEITH MORRIS) and UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN (JOHN DOE) as well as other related episodes concerning the concurrent scene in INDIE ROCK as well as '77 FIRST-WAVE PUNK ROCK, NEW YORK HARDCORE, POST-HARDCORE, and later 90s ALTERNATIVE ROCK.

it is seemingly the topic that will never die and continues to be of interest to me, largely because it was the palette cleanser that served to further distill PUNK ROCK to its absolute core essentials, of which we have been building back up around ever since.  it is the foundation for any decent ROCK music that has sprung up in its wake.

so check out this show that originally aired around CHRISTMAS 2018.  hasn't gotten old yet.

i havent attempted to hide my contempt on this platform for all things SACRAMENTO.  having lived in that area for my senior year of high school i was convinced that nothing relevant ever came out of there with one exception: DEFTONES.  that changed over the years to include both CHELSEA WOLFE and DEATH GRIPS.

DEATH GRIPS when they came out roughly 10 years ago had that whole HARDCORE, DIY ethic and a sound that split the difference between grating INDUSTRIAL production with dissonant layered distorted guitars and an almost post-modern, unpredictably kinetic HIP HOP sense of production.  

to my ears it seemed like they took the most abrasive sounds out of all those traditions and cooked them up into an uncomfortable, unfolding concoction that was absolutely abrasive yet, strangely, entirely listenable.

probably the most revolutionary rock(?) band in terms of sonics of the last ten years.  like next level RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

definitely check them out.  but stay please stay away from SACRAMENTO.  redneck country.

BOOK REVIEW | "GET IN THE VAN: ON THE ROAD WITH BLACK FLAG" BY HENRY ROLLINS

1/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
photo & text by nacrowe
it has been said that the lasting cultural impact of 1980s HARDCORE was the touring circuit they networked one city at a time.  this circuit of VFW halls, LIONS CLUBS and basements across the nation was the common proving ground for INDIE bands of that same era and underground ALTERNATIVE bands of the 90s.  this self-published printing (now long out of print) of his tour journal finds BLACK FLAG frontman HENRY ROLLINS in GET IN THE VAN ( 2.13.61, 1995) giving the reader a first-hand account of the hardship and endurance it took to get out the message.

in ROLLINS we see a guy that knows his place.  he appreciates his good fortune in being asked to join his favorite band at a moment when they sought to reshuffle roles within the band.  one theme carried on throughout journal is this theme of isolation and alienation from the straight world he so passionately wished to escape from.  the longer he is on the road, the more severe that estrangement becomes, for his former peers (exception being friend IAN MCKAYE) can't appreciate his position.  they see a rock star on tour where his actual reality is sleeping in vans, moving equipment, fighting skinheads, fighting concert promoters, lack of food, lack of sleep and lack of money.  on top of that they are blazing through under-appreciated markets that don't have a frame of reference for their version of PUNK ROCK quite yet.  they are very much the pioneers that got scalped to borrow horrible offensive and culturally antiquated turn of phrase.

ROLLINS attitude throughout is one of defiance.  he talks about hating his audience, his bandmates and the straight world in general.  his misanthropy seems rooted in a deep-seated internal fortitude to bear any burden, carry any cross for his band.  what seems interesting in retrospect is how much he has transitioned since the myopia of his early 20s, when much of these entries were written.  he is the very embodiment now of adventurousness, traveling tirelessly and choosing to use any of his various platforms (spoken-word albums, documentaries, podcasts, tv shows) to promote the understanding of culture across borders and inclusivity.  it is basically the opposite trajectory of MORRISSEY, once the embodiment of transgressive gender politics and now just a sad mouthpiece for the extreme-right in ENGLAND (sighhh).  as someone who traveled a lot growing up as a THIRD CULTURE KID, i definite sympathize with his misanthropy and retreat into himself when confounded with radical change and senseless violence during what amounts to his formative years.  its comforting to know he transcended such self-destructive ideations.

one of my favorite aspects of this book is the friction between AMERICAN HARDCORE bands and their BRITISH counterparts.  at the time it had only been a handful of years, but the chasm culturally between these two cousins was pretty wide and ROLLINS spares no quarter in taking on what he considered shitty bands that couldn't play their instruments.  i take this as a grain of salt given the fact BLACK FLAG were the tip of the spear for a new more potent wave of PUNK ROCK and for them there was a definite "us vs. the world" mentality,  but it is interesting nonetheless on purely sociological grounds.

the journal is a bit hard to get through and is quite repetitive but at its most potent you get a real sense of the absurdity of touring life, fan adoration and the unique hardships of being a trailblazer.  true, ROLLINS was the 4th singer of BLACK FLAG, but none of the others toured like his version of the band, which makes them the de facto committed to popular memory.

BOOK REVIEW | "NYHC: NEW YORK HARDCORE 1980-1990" BY TONY RETTMAN

NYHC: NEW YORK HARDCORE 1980-1990 (BAZILLION POINTS, 2014) by TONY RETTMAN is a compiled series of interviews regarding the origins and influence of the HARDCORE community in NYC by the participants that were there.  It would seem that this book is more of a document cementing the legacy of the NYHC scene for and by the community itself, rather than as an entry point to those that were not there.  part of that is due to the structure of the book itself.

unlike UNDER THE BIG BLACK SUN (book review linked HERE) which covered similar ground for the LA PUNK scene but gave each participating voice a chapter, this book chooses to go paragraph by paragraph.  this results in more participation and coverage at the risk of redundancy as often many people kept repeating the same thing over and over again.  the impression it gave me was the uniformity of opinion regarding the history of the scene and that concerned me a bit just in terms of the anthropology of it all.  when humans get together and agree on things so thoroughly it usually means either there is a hierarchal power structure playing out or a very strong peer group influence.

when i think of the music produced by this scene, especially the celebrated marquee second wave bands (AGNOSTIC FRONT, CRO-MAGS, MURPHY'S LAW,  SICK OF IT ALL) what always stood out was the uniformity of its sound and approach.  call me crazy, but music is universal and the whole idea of "you had to be there" or "you wouldn't understand because you weren't a part of the scene" is a weak argument for substandard product.  i'm not trying to be harsh on the music itself, but at times it is almost laughable when people from this scene talk about how it wasn't fair that bands like NIRVANA gained popularity at their supposed expense.  bands from the pacific northwest came from an equally insular scene that celebrated diversity and inclusivity, often at the risk of alienating more conservative elements in their ranks.  the NYHC bands where conservative in their approach to their craft and politics, which veered from reactionary to downright thuggish.

what i gained from this book was a wider appreciation for the origins of the NYHC scene, which grew out of a legendary punk scene that celebrated a diverse community of artists (PATTI SMITH, TELEVISION, THE RAMONES) and initially attracted a like-minded next wave (BAD BRAINS, KRAUT, THE MOB, THE UNDEAD, THE NIHILISTICS) before the second wave took cemented the rules of the scene from there on out.

i made reference to the LA PUNK scene already but it followed a very similar trajectory.  to me it is always interesting how with social movements new opportunities beget new rules and both scenes are guilty of such.  it is just human nature i guess.  i wonder with our modern digital social media world where access to music is immediate via the internet and streaming services whether or not such regional genres can develop apart from one another.  i doubt it.

in this way i think a book like NYHC: NEW YORK HARDCORE 1980-1990  is a beacon to a mode of culture that can literally never be repeated as technology has erased the potential of such.  whether that is good or bad i don't know.  my only hope is that it won't lead to more uniformity because then we all lose.

BOOK REVIEW | "MY DAMAGE: THE STORY OF A PUNK ROCK SURVIVOR" BY KEITH MORRIS & JIM RULAND

i always found it interesting with movements, whether they be artistic, social or cultural, are entities constantly in flux with new blood constantly reevaluating, interpreting and contextualizing what came before into a new modern amalgamation/expression. 

PUNK ROCK is such an artistic/social/cultural phenomena whose innate value and very definition is forever a controversial topic to its many participants and stakeholders.  personally, that discussion has long bored me (dating back to high school) and it is refreshing to know that KEITH MORRIS, iconic frontman of 80s HARDCORE legends BLACK FLAG and CIRCLE JERKS, felt much the same as well.

KEITH MORRIS makes a point in his memoir MY DAMAGE: THE STORY OF A PUNK ROCK SURVIVOR (DA CAPO, 2016) to elucidate upon why he got into music (i.e. passion and personal expression) and how such a foundation has maintained itself over his career as an under-appreciated (in my opinion) cultural force.

it always happens that underground bands like THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, THE STOOGES and THE SEX PISTOLS all had cultural influences that far outweighed their record sales and BLACK FLAG was no different.  their ability to refine and harden PUNK's edge into a more potent, punishing musical variant has influenced bands far outside the PUNK community.  i'd argue modern METAL music is indebted as much to BLACK FLAG in its ethos and attitude as it is to the doomed riffage of BLACK SABBATH.  again, my opinion.

one aspect that caught my eye about MORRIS was the energy and genuinely altruistic (to the point of naivete) he put into the community of artists in southern california, irrespective of genre or scene.  for every anecdote dealing with members of THE ANGRY SAMOANS, SOCIAL DISTORTION, CRO-MAGS or THE ADOLESCENTS, there are others with members of RATT, VAN HALEN or THE RAVEONETTES.  

to me PUNK ROCK is almost a religion and its not surprising that core, unassailable members of its royalty are by no means interested in the "punk police" bullshit that well-intentioned fans, and in some case other peers, hoist on the public.  he really makes a point that this idea that to be a true appreciator of PUNK ROCK you need to wipe away all that came before is sad, pathetic and just wrong.  in his career this came full circle with the formation of OFF! where his younger bandmates had many outside influences that didn't coincide with his.  to him it was an opportunity and the idea of a bands as a democracy (both artistically and financially) is something that has been constant in his post-BLACK FLAG career.

growing up i got tired of PUNK ROCK fans that just shat on everything else.  it just seemed so counterproductive and stunting on a human level to have up barriers like that.  its nice to know part of the underground cultural vanguard of the 80s had his ears open to the street. 

still does.  do damage.

CHECK OUT THIS BAND | BAD RELIGION

ok i realize that BAD RELIGION by no means is a new band and that in the past i only highlighted recent, more obscure bands in this CHECK OUT THIS BAND series.  but really i just felt the need to write about them.

with all this shit surrounding DONALD TRUMP and the dire future of american democracy conceivably going the way of a strong-man dictatorship like those i've lived under in the past (ALBANIA, NIGERIA, MYANMAR and VENEZUELA), its disheartening how few recording artists these days have explicitly addressed this sense of existential dread in an intelligent manner.

enter BAD RELIGION.  they're whole career has been a rallying cry against corporate greed and fascism since the 1980s, but to continue doing so publicly at THIS stage during THIS political moment with THIS proto-fascist in charge is beyond admirable, its a necessity.  i can't express how much i respect them for that, giving an intelligent voice for the opposition is unequivocally HARDCORE, absolutely PUNK ROCK.  i would argue it is their finest hour.

i just wish other musicians would stop worrying about the music industry and how to maximize their market-share and consumer brand identification and just go for the jugular like these QUINQUAGENARIANS!  it bothers me that a group of BABY BOOMERS are the only relevant cultural force out there addressing this sort of thing, but then maybe i shouldn't be that surprised with everyone inwardly concerned about their social media presence and sponsorship/cross-branding opportunities.  just a shame. 

we still have
BAD RELIGION thankfully.  support them and the organizations they assist.  and register to vote.  please.

BOOK REVIEW | "HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL" BY CARRIE BROWNSTEIN

9/2/2019

photo & text by nacrowe
i just want to get it out of the way that i found SLEATER-KINNEY guitarist / co-vocalist CARRIE BROWNSTEIN's memoir HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL (RIVERHEAD BOOKS, 2016) jarring and difficult to follow.  as a former english teacher im pretty accustomed to student writing that attempts to cover up a lack ideas with cumbersome structures and awkward word choices.  this memoir is full of them and i can't figure out why?

it was meandering to the point of confusion.  my feeling is that a reader of an book dedicated to an artist is hoping to appreciate any number of aspects, any of which are good fodder for a memoir.  these could include insights on the artist's biography, creative process, context(s), breakthroughs, downfalls, influences, etc.  BROWNSTEIN seemed determined to not placate to any of these tropes of the memoir format.  she would seemingly take you on a long aside that dithered and wandered nowhere. 

it was very frustrating as i was constantly questioning what her point was and why i was reading this.  and then there was her writing style which was overly and ornamental to the point of being annoying.  if she was attempting to show-off her cleverness, she failed miserably.

i was able to glean some information about the formation of SLEATER-KINNEY and how BROWNSTEIN's complicated upbringing informed her relationships with peers and collaborators, but ultimately BROWNSTEIN puts herself center stage which is an odd choice in a memoir.  my understanding is that what makes portrait photography and memoirs compelling is not the subject necessarily, but rather the context surrounding the subject.  how have outside forces affected an artist's process?  what are the internal/external dynamics that contributed to the making of a piece of art?  in this memoir things just happen and seemingly she brought it about.  came off a bit narcissistic, almost like reading THE DIRT (HARPERCOLLINS, 2001) by MÖTLEY CRÜE, where each of them fight over narrative control by asserting their greatness at the expense of all other band members.  same thing with BROWNSTEIN.

i was really interested in knowing about their politics which never really came up.  for me personally this is odd because i saw them play ROSELAND BALLROOM on February 15, 2003 right after participating in the anti-war protests that day in manhattan.  they seemed very much enthused by that palpable energy and voiced their displeasure in GEORGE W BUSH's policies and proceeded to play a killer set.  maybe my perception of them was off, given that so few pages addressed any political concerns.  instead all of her concerns are rather insular tropes of the misunderstood traveling musician, which is beyond boring to read.

a very frustrating read.  i love the band and i highly recommend listening to their records.  i'd just say wait until CORIN TUCKER decides to get around to writing her story.  this book is a hard pass.
