Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – Garageland

So there I stood, exhausted, shirtless ears ringing covered in sweat and cheap beer. And damn if it wasn’t the greatest feeling ever. We’d finally done it. We played our first show. Well it wasn't really a show it was a party in Mikey's backyard with the express purpose of giving our band a place to finally play. But the important thing was that we had finally crossed that rubicon that separates the punks from the Punk Rockers. We were no longer just three guys and a crappy casio keyboard in a garage we were four guys with a real live drummer in an honest to god band. Read more

Is everyone gonna go GREEN for the Green Issue?

Welcome to the Green Issue

Every year when April rolls around all the print magazines out there put out what they call the “Green Issue”. So like all of them we too have decided to put out a green issue of our own. Being good to the earth is something we all are cool with.

Recycling should be a normal part of your regular routine. Think about it, when you throw a party and after everyone has emptied the contents of all the bottles and cans of their favorite Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – We were all just money making

Lately I’ve been struck by a crisis of faith. It usually happens around 745 am when I make it in to work. I hustle up to the walk way to the glass doors of my school and I catch my reflection-who is that guy in the shirt and tie (well at least Monday through Thursday it’s a shirt and tie, Fridays I can wear a hoodie with the school logo or a flannel) and what’s he doing here. I have an office, a desk and I’m some what of an authority figure. These are three things i never really foresaw back and the day and they lead me to my gnawing question. Did I, Have I Could I have …sold out. Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – Know The Enemy

Christmas time always makes me think of Communists. No this has nothing to do with Santa Claus wearing a red suit and the oppressed working class elves stuck in the gulag that his Saint Nick’s North Pole work shop. I actually kind of enjoy going Christmas shopping and watching "Its a Wonderful Life" 27 times -I'm not gonna rail about the commercialization of the day especially not after consuming a certain coffee chains egg nog latte. I was born in 1975 which means I grew up in the 80’s Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – Mohawk Town

When you’re 19 and 20 and you’re too young to get into any decent bars and there's no parties going on you’ll find all sorts of ways to entertain yourself and waste a perfectly good Friday night. One of the best ways me and my friends had was to buy enough cheap beer to stop a rhino and play drinking games at Mikeys House-yup its a landmark, ask anyone that went to our high school. At the top of our list was a brilliant intellectual endeavor we called categories -someone named a category like baseball teams and you’d go around the table Read more

In Memory of Mark Sheehan of Out Cold

This past weekend on October 1, 2010 Mark Sheehan of the Hardcore Punk band Out Cold passed away. The following morning word got out amongst his friends and members of the New England Punk scene. Since Mark was fairly reserved when it came to the public eye, it was only his music and on stage persona that most people came to know. Read more
