Played a show about 11 years back with the Reatards and Marky Ramone and the Intruders . Boy did they ever so fucking blow . Marky got up to sing blitzkrieg bop and invited a kid out of the audience to play drums who might have been better than him .Even back then It really ticked me off that this asshole was exploiting one of Americas greatest rock n roll bands ever ! Well now hes got a new band of goons called Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg !! Give me a fucking break you didn’t even play on the first and best record you old wig headed bastard . At lest Tommy plays shitty bluegrass these days .. Nothing is sacred I guess..

5 Box Elders “hole in my head”

Cant really put my finger on it but something about this band really clicks for me . They prove that simple songs simple lyrics and simple hooks are all you need to stand out heads above the rest of the garage clones clogging the bins these days..

4 The Clean “compilation”

See above description.

3 Cheap Time “st”

Best “punk” record I heard this year. Perfect mix of pre-glam rock,Hubble Bubble,and just enough garage thrown in to keep it raw . Great guys to tour with as well ! Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Jeffery’s first solo non omb album on his own label and Shattered Records !

2 Cola Freaks

Mads and the rest of these dudes proved to be the radest and smartest bunch of guys I have ever had the pleasure of touring with . Seeing mads freak out new unsuspecting audience wimps every night was the peak of my day.

1 Nobunny “love visions”

Every once in a while a record comes my way that I just can’t stop listening to you know like an instant classic of sorts. Forget the bunny mask forget the wig forget the kinda cony gimmick . Behind all that lies some of the best lo-fi ramonesy punk slop I have heard in years.For sure the best record I own to jump around in your underwear and and eat pizza in bed to !

So I’m back from our last tour drinking a vitamin water (didn’t know this shit had arsenic in it) and eating a candy bar hanging out with my dog cola .Really happy to be home safe and sound and just really wanted to thank everyone who helped make this an incredibly successful tour.We made some new friends meet up with tons of old ones and made a few new enemy’s as well along the way but hey thats how it goes. Shouts out to Chicago ,San Fransisco, San Diego and L.A for giving us our strongest turn outs so far and well of course thanks to any one and everyone who came out to support us on this tour.Oh and you should check out the Atoms we played with these cats in San Diego and they were great! Off to eat at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant now Chào ông !

Forgot this band on my list of things I’ve been digging .The Box Elders are a Omaha Nebraska trio fronted by brothers Clayton McIntyre, Jeremiah McIntyre. Drummer-keyboardist Dave Goldberg has to be seen live before you can grasp how great he is at one handed keyboards/drumming .Get this single now over at Goner Records here

Hole In My Head

Earth men and strangers

Ryan from the Reatards new band Great pop/punk weirdness
