Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – Scratches and Needles

Everybody remembers their first time right? You know the awkward conversation, the nervous laughter, the slight feeling of dread, the incessant buzzing sound and in some cases a long drive home from Hollywood. Huh? What? Yeah that’s right we all remember our first tattoo. Because for a lot of us getting that first bit of ink under our skin is as much a rite of passage as well that other thing you thought I was talking about. For me it happened my freshman year in college I had forty bucks in my pocket from selling Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – Banned in Vegas

In honor of you crew being in Vegas I though I’d share a Vegas story of my own.

We pulled into the parking lot of Whiskey Petes at some ungodly hour of the morning-not exactly sure when as the memory is a little fuzzy and the actual event was a lot fuzzier-and slowly, painfully peeled ourselves out of Johnny’s Nissan and staggered toward the lobby. The seven of us reeked like a distillery and looked like zombies. Our motley appearance made the usual denizens Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – We dont need no education

Mind you my friends musical taste at times begins and end with DMX. So we proceeded to play rock and Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – Freaks In Uniforms

I have a confession to make and I’ll just come right out with it- I was a high school football player and damn proud of it. Not quite as heavy a admitting to having been a junkie or having spent time in prison but sill a significant revelation considering the unwritten rule that punks and jocks go together like whores and church. But that’s the thing about unwritten rules they’re unenforceable and in reality no one really knows who came up with them in the first place-so that makes them that much easier to cast aside. our popular mythology Read more

Punk Rock Academy Fight Song – The Process of Belief

So it seems like lately I only get around to doing this around the holidays and maybe that’s all well and good because that’s when I seem to be the most inspired or maybe it’s just become a subconscious ritual like paying your bills at the same time every month or putting on your right shoe before your left every morning, who knows. Anyway as fate would have it I like most of us this time of year have the holidays on the brain and it has decidedly colored my thought process. Obviously I’ve been thinking about what to get for who and how much cookies Read more
