VOID "Potion For Bad Dreams"

To one of the greatest Dischord bands to ever surface...VOID were more than a band, they were everything pure about music, the approach, the sound, the attitude and the commitment. I got this copy of the mastertape back in the 80's when we shared the stage together a few times and would trade tapes. We here at PNP have numorous other rare recordings and demos that have never seen the light of day, one of which I put as the 2nd track on this post. It's just an alternate take of the 1st song, sound quality isn't the best but hey, what do you expect it's only 25 years later. Of course this album was never properly released, but I personally love everything VOID ever did if for nothing else but the reason they were a band, not like these cliche revival bands. They were truly original and stand the test of time, there will be no other band to ever do what they did.

For those who know, and for those who knew Sean, this one's for you my friend... Thank you for your friendship and the music. You were one of the few who truly inspire, and your legacy will live on.
R.I.P. Sean.

Hip-Hop, Politics & The Politics of the Music Business

Chuck D once called Hip-Hop “Black people’s CNN.” Is it still today? Do today’s rap artists feel as though their hands are tied when it comes to speaking on social issues? Is it only about the party in 2008? Does the music business actively try to stifle the potential message? Are politics relevant in music? Do you care?

The Dogs "Bite Back" LP 1977-1979

We need you! If anyone has any info regarding this post it'd be greatly appreciated, no luck with the album cover so if anybody has a scanned copy of this it would be greatly appreciated since our scanner is once again on the blink. The Dogs 77 lp "Bite Back" is a true punk rock monument record and it's pretty surprising that it's even unknown in the killed by death scene, at least to our knowledge. Obviously this isn't Slaughter and the Dogs, or even the "Bite Back" album that they did under the moniker Slaughter. So don't let it confuse you...this is a full boar, snot covered, tits out, punk rock album and not to be confused with Slaughter and the Dogs.

So I leave you with an incredible album and if anybody has a scan of the cover we would gladly trade you an oki dog this week for a cover today. Support the scene and please give us your stories if any of you have any to share...thank you. File under: Classic '77 snotty PUNK

Got Drank???

Cuz I do...



It's the world's first anti-energy drink! Combining Rose Hips, Melatonin and Valerian Root with a great tasting beverage to um, well, create the world's first anti-energy drink.

I'm a lil scared, but not as scared as I am of the actual energy drinks. See, I need to "slow my roll," cuz I'm a total maniac inside. Energy drinks just jazz me the fuck up. It's also why I don't do cocaine (also, I'm not a squirrel).



Anyway, yeah I got that DRANK, what you need?

(P.S. Note the prescription bottle in the logo. The promo materials, which I will have on Monday, don't have the bottle on them.)

Grave Stompers

GRAVE STOMPERS #Munich, Germany#

Genre: Psychobilly


"Hail! Hell Rock 'N' Roll"


Band Members : Gernot-guitar + vocals, Holzi- double bass + backing vocals, Martin Sledgehammer-drums
The Grave Stompers were founded in late 1993 by vocalist Florian Meier and guitarist Gernot Welsch. Shortly after that double bass player Holzi joined them and together with drummer Alex they started playing traditional old-school psychobilly. It took a few month and the Psycho quartet from Munich (Germany) supported lots of international Psychobands on countless Festivals in Germany. In 1997 they released their debut album "Rising from the darkside" featuring their new drummer Martin Sledgehammer. The sound of the Grave Stompers became very hard and dark with metal influenced guitar riffing and fast drums+bass. Two years later the Shouter left the band and guitarist Gernot did the vocals as well – first to hear on the 1999 release "Funeral Suite" on Crazy Love Rec. The Grave Stompers played several Headliner Shows in Europe-but the following years the boys didn´t went too much on stage. They wrote new material for their follow up album "Bone Sweet Bone" (Crazy Love Rec. 2004) – which took more time than expected – their style returned back to their roots: twangy guitars, fast double bass, jackhammer beat and clear vocals with tons of delay – traditional old school Psychobilly!

Then after the event Crystal Lee and Perseph1 got in a rhyme battle with Bubba providing the beat box and hand claps.


I was about to fall over at this point, and may have. I'm not sure. That being said, I went home and forgot to put on the AC and woke up in a puddle of sweat. I always knew Houston was humid, but having lived in Austin for just over a month, it's very much so overtly noticable.


Anyway it was Awesome.

See you Monday at Brand Nubian, Houston...
