What is a revolution? A revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. There has been many revolutions in the world’s history, one is the punk music revolution between the US and the UK.

From irreverent to politically charged manifestos, our songs were based on our lives, whether it was craving escape from the suburban hell holes of Orange County or…

The second interviewee responded saying that the Taqwacore scene provided a ‘sense of community’ they hadn’t experience when at punk performances that where more catered to the white culture. The third and fourth interviewees had both stated being drawn to heavy metal before finding Taqwacore, both expressing a sense of connection and acceptance to the Taqwacore community that was…

hanging out with and protecting kids that are just like them. That’s how the scene was always supposed to be, and, hopefully, the way it’ll stay. Hardcore was created as a marriage of the “angst, social themes, and three chord progression” of Punk music and the speed and anger of Heavy Metal music,…

The Scene It was 1976, the punk scene, when a rebellious teenager practically living in his best friend's basement was listening to the sex pistols on his vintage record player. His name was Steven Hyde, a brutally honest and down to earth, radical dude. As the last note from johnny rotten's mouth is growled out, “I wanna be anarchy”, Eric walks in. “Hey man”, says Hyde. Eric asked how's it hanging as he looks into hyde's tinted shades. “Its pretty chill I guess”. “ So, the gang is gonna…

For this report I chose to attend a show that featured the Plain White T’s. I chose this event because I wanted to see what was the difference between a local band and a band that is “popular”. The cool thing about this concert was that The Plain White T’s weren’t touring alone they also came with Beta Play and Matt McAndrew.

Steve walked faster, his smile kept disappearing and forming on his face, every time a little larger, and a little more cruelly and extremely gleefully as the voices told him too.
