If you’re hungry for a zombie horror comedy with brains, then you’ll want to put watching Scream Factory’s new home media release of The Return of the Living Dead at the top of your summer to-do list. Hitting shelves on July 19th, the Collector’s Edition Blu-ray is teased in high-def clips and a trailer that will make you want to revisit the party and surprising pathos of Dan O’Bannon’s 1985 film.
“On his first day on the job at a medical supply warehouse, poor Freddy (Thom Mathews) unwittingly releases toxic gas from a secret U.S. military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas reanimates an army of corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger… for human brains! And luckily for those carnivorous cadavers, there is a group of partying teens nearby, just waiting to be eaten!

"But it's already played." There is no greater currency in the press at a film festival than the word "premiere." And that word can mean a great many things. There are regional premieres. North American premieres. Us premieres. Or, in the best case scenario, world premieres. If you've got a movie no one's seen, and it's by someone who has a track record, that is bait on a hook. And sometimes, it seems like it's important to see something first. Take Michael Moore, for example. He's got a track record. There are plenty of things of Michael Moore's that I like. I think you will find few more ardent "TV Nation" fans than me. But he's been away from the game for a while. And tonight, he had a film premiere at the Princess Of Wales theater. I could have gone to that. I will see it tomorrow. There...

Earlier this year, the internet was blindsided with the announcement of the reformation of one of America's greatest hardcore legends, Black Flag, featuring original guitarist and main songwriter Greg Ginn and the band's short-lived sophomore singer Ron Reyes. This would include a performance at U.K.'s Hevy Fest this summer with further dates still being added daily as of this writing. This would mark the first Black Flag tour since Ginn put the Black Flag name on ice in 1986. The tour will also be in support of a new record that is being released this summer.
But just a mere hour-and-a-half after the news of the Black Flag reunion came another announcement to set the hardcore heads on fire, the formation of a band called Flag. Flag would feature original Black Flag singer and current Off! frontman Keith Morris manning the mic and fleshed out with Black Flag founding bass player Chuck Dukowski,...

Hardcore fans of Sloan will enjoy news the band's releasing a limited edition 7" vinyl single "Hardcore Package" that also includes a covers album of classic hardcore punk songs.
According to the band's official site, the package includes the vinyl single with two new songs entitled "Jenny" and "It's In You, It's In Me." Meanwhile, perhaps the big score is a bonus digital download featuring "songs of the bands that were soundtrack to Sloan's youth" and date from 1978 to 1984.
The album is led by three Angry Samoans covers ("Gas Chamber," "Gimme Sopor" and "Hot Cars") along with two from 7 Seconds ("Bully" and "This Is The Angry"). Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Circle Jerks and The Descendents are also covered on the album.

Two of Black Flag’s many iterations are reuniting, though neither of them involves Henry Rollins. One version is calling itself Black Flag and features Greg Ginn, drummer Robo (who left to join the Misfits in 1981), and singer Ron Reyes, who was with the band between 1979 and 1980. That crew will be playing Hevy Fest in Kent, England Aug. 2-4. Another permutation of the band will be out on the road this spring under the name Flag. That lineup features longtime bassist Chuck Dukowski, Black Flag co-founder and Circle Jerks/Off! singer Keith Morris, Descendents guitarist Stephen Egerton ...

Jack Black has teamed with Funny or Die and Off!, the all-star L.A. punk band featuring Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Black Flag) and members of Redd Kross and Burning Brides, for a literally gut-wrenching video for the band's song "Wrong." Starting with a faux bumper welcoming TV viewers back to the Saturday afternoon movie, "Lethal Justice," the off-the-cuff clip evokes sleazy '70s exploitation movies, with Jack Black and the members of Off! forming a gang to battle the mustachioed Jalisco underneath a bridge. It's a one-joke premise that isn't particularly original, especially in the age of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez,...

The Circle Jerks hit the stage in My Career as a Jerk.
The 2011 feature-length documentary film Circle Jerks: My Career as a Jerk chronicles the career of the controversial but seminal L.A. punk band the Circle Jerks.
Formed by ex members of Black Flag and Red Cross (now Redd Kross) in late 1979, the Circle Jerks came to encapsulate the image, sound and energy of California hardcore punk.
Directed by David Markey (1991: The Year Punk Broke), the music-filled movie follows the band from their early days through navigating the independent label and touring scene of the 1980s to the addictions, fights and injuries that forced their break up. The film mixes in-depth interviews with band members and others, rare live footage and historical perspective to illustrate the story of one of the more influential bands in the American underground.

Of course you do! Otherwise you wouldn’t have clicked on this. Unless your finger slipped, of course.
Off! – a band featuring previous members of awesome bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Rocket From The Krypt, Red Kross etc are offering everyone, yes everyone, a free download of a track off their forthcoming self-titled album. What’s not to like about that? Nothing. So go and download it.
With their debut, First Four EPs, Off! showed a breathless vehemence that went hand in hand with their punk/hardcore backgrounds – barreling through 16 high-octane tracks in just as many minutes. It was a party, a dark party at that, where the speed you were on didn’t take long to come up and there was no weird comedown after it, either. It was a soundtrack of unleashed exasperation and bitterness executed with a rigorous precision that managed to live up to the...

The Vans Warped Tour as changed a lot over the years. What started as a summer long tour for Punk and Ska acts has evolved into a multi-genre experience. Some old school fans for the Warped Tour will say that the good bands that made the tour don.t play anymore, but the fact of the matter is that the summer festival has something for everyone. I remember going to the Vans Warped Tour in Ventura a few years back, and I would get to see punk legends Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, NoFX, The Dickies and Adolescents alongside newer acts such as Killswitch Engage, Cute Is What We Aim For, Paramore and Yellowcard.

Walking through the convention center or the streets of Austin this week, it's hard to ignore the tape-spackled, staple-ridden posters, sounding their visual siren calls, trying to reel you in amidst the crowds and visual noise. As the world goes digital it's interesting to note how much tangible objects stand out. You can't hand someone a Jpeg. You can't fold it up and put it in your pocket. And while much physical guerilla marketing has been supplanted by Facebook invites and Twitter hashtags, there is, as of yet, no Facebook invite that stays at the top of your inbox long enough to remind you how much you danced at a TV On The Radio show. You don't print out emailed fliers and hang them on your walls of your apartment to silently call up an experience, or a lyric, or a defining period in your life. When you pluck an...

Sadly, that iconic voice has lately been reduced to delivering commentary in hardcore documentaries. Off!, Morris’ new outfit, has no right being more than a nostalgic echo of his past glory.

Fontana, California — Travis Barker was born in Fontana, making it a sure bet that he felt a sense of homecoming as Blink-182 made their only North American appearance of the year at California's Epicenter 2010 Festival in that very town. The trio's hit-packed set closed the two-day event on Sunday following performances from Rise Against, 30 Seconds to Mars, Against Me! and more.
Afternoon temperatures reached 110 degrees in the racetrack parking lot where Epicenter took place, but the crowd's enthusiasm never seemed to wane, thanks in part to a steady stream of water misters and water cannons. Epicenter 2010 kicked off Saturday with Eminem (in his only West Coast appearance this year), Kiss and reunited alt-rockers Bush, among others.

Born out of music lover Sean Carlson's dream of throwing a festival where people could pop in and out of multiple venues and experience a variety of entertainment, Fyf (then known as Fuck Yeah Fest) launched in 2003. With a lot of hard work and a little help from friends, the then 18 year old Carlson made a whopping $5 in donations from the free event. Since then, the attendance has gone from 2,000 to 20,000, and in 2009 Fyf moved to the Los Angeles State Historic Park in Chinatown (simultaneously re-instating funding to the struggling landmark). With the help of friends Keith Morris (of Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and Off!) and Phil Hoelting, Fyf has grown into a festival force to be reckoned with, the truly indie answer to bohemoths like Coachella and Lollapalooza. The move to that independent...
