Lower Class Brats – The Stitches – The Billy Bones – Bad Reaction -The Last Punk Show at the Showcase Theater

In what would turn out to be the last Punk show at The Showcase Theater in Corona, CA. A full house loaded up the place for the last show. This was the show to get your last licks in as the place would close forever. Our staff had photographed and video taped so many shows there that it seemed like after the last stage dive was done that we were to also go clean out our locker, our equipment seemed to live there. After the show an everyone left our staff was treated to bottomless beers and food as we hung out and talked about all the MANY good shows that went down. Video of the last show can be found on Big Wheel TV in the video section. Photos from the show can be found here .....Go see all the action

Broken Bottles -Hospital CD

Hell it was 5 years ago that we first saw this band play, we were blown away then and are still just as stoked on the band. Their latest CD titled “Hospital” delivers the goods. The Bottles keep coming up with cleaver song themes. Backing music that is very reminiscent of early Orange County punk rock laid on a bed of harmonizing that is contagious. Look for them on tour in Japan and Germany. Check them out at: www.myspace.com/brokenbottlesoc

* Pullout *

Go check out Pullout. Why could anyone hate the internet when you can find out and listen to a band like this! This band tears it up. Pullout reminded us alot of another favorite band of ours here, Clit 45. The only question we have, "When are these guys gonna put out an album?" No worries, the band just informed us that they have a full length in the works. Pullout MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/pulloutpunx Photos by Matt Kadi

Jonny Mank & The Depresives – Rebound Town

As we listened through this album it seemed to hold the same attitude as if we had thrown on a Gears record. Full on Punk rock and roll that is fast and loose.

Jonny Mank who has a very impressive resume in music seems to have really reinvented himself with this band. This San Jose, CA band have hit on a winning sound that really stood out. Good times written all over this one.
