If you are regular reader of The Whole Kameese, then you know we are big in to bands who can not only rock, but also have a blast doing it . In our opinion there is no other band that does this better than , Bowling For Soup, and this is on full display on their new live acoustic album “Stoked On Trent” (Live)
You can listen to “Stoked On Trent” (Live) on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here
“Stoked OnTrent”, is a live acoustic album that was recorded Live, in the UK, in 2022, as part of Jaret and Rob’s acoustic tour in 2022.
“Stoked OnTrent” is the perfect snapshot in to the live musical fun and genius that is Bowling For Soup . The album features all the great beloved BFS songs that fans love ( “Ohio(Come Back To Texas), “Almost”, “1985” , “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” and so much more .
We laughed and sang our butt off , we couldn’t think of a better way to spend an hour and six minutes of our day .
Bowling For Soup, will be part of the returning Vans Warped Tour , this summer . The band will play Washington, D.C. on June14-15, Long Beach, California on July 26-27
We recently had the stellar opportunity to check out the new single “Bookstore” from Yard Sign . You can listen to “Bookstore” Here.
Yard Sign is an online punk rock band, one-man folk punk act and Tik Tok Emo from Columbus, Ohio. They specialize in songs about life, love, loss and Star Wars. No matter the incarnation, Yard Sign is a variety of musical outputs led by Scott Marks, an elder millennial punk rock Swemo originally from New York, but calling central Ohio home for the past decade.
We instantly felt drawn to “Bookstore” from Yard Sign. It’s a smartly crafted song that has a memorable melody that we happily enjoyed having it stay in our head long after the music ended .
Coming of musical age in both the New York hardcore and pop-punk scenes, Marks played all different instruments for all different bands before settling into middle-agedom in the Midwest.
After 10+ years of musical semi-retirement, Yard Sign emerged from the pandemic, churning out full-band punk rock (and adjacent) anthems on the internet and leading sing-along kazoo parties across Ohio and beyond in their one-of-a-kind-one-man pop-folk-punk shows.
When asked about “Bookstore”, Scott Marks shares , “Bookstore’ is kind of a Frankenstein of different song ideas. I always wanted to write a song called ‘bookstore’. I’m a big reader and fan of romantic comedies, so bookstores are kind of a sacred place to me. Movies like ‘You’ve Got Mail’, ‘Notting Hill’, ‘When Harry Met Sally’, all about bookstores! Then one day I was scrolling through the internet and was presented with a meme from one of those ‘words are my porn’ kinda pages that said “someone telling you they read the book you recommended is the ultimate love language” or something like that. So the idea for the song was basically the opposite of that; someone NOT reading the book you recommended to them. I picked up the ukulele and the line ‘had an idea, but it was stupid’, just came right out. The rest of the song kind of wrote itself from there. I wanted it to feel like that middle act in a rom-com where the two leads breakup/fallout/get sad at each other. Sad, longing, but maybe also a little hopeful.”
So find your favorite music listening spot and get lost in “Bookstore” from Yard Sign.
Album release party set for July 27 at Lowell’s Thirsty First with Lenny Lashley and others
We recently had the opportunity to check out the much anticipated new record from Massachusetts Punks, Already Dead . And.. it did not disappoint. “Something Like A War” from Already Dead, consist of 14 well crafted songs that touch both the mind and soul.
You can listen to “Something Like A War “ on Spotify Here , Apple Music Here and Bandcamp Here

“Something Like A War “ grabs your attention right from the start . The Opening track “The Spirit Of Massachusetts Avenue” is a well written , loud and proud anthem of a song that doesn’t let up for a second.
Every single song on “Something Like A War” is brimming with authenticity and truth . It is crystal clear that vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Dan Cummings is not afraid to speak his mind (there is no sugar coating going on at all ) He has also assembled a group of musicians ( Brandon Bartlett,guitar, Brian Ferrazzani,bass and Nick Cali,bass) that add the perfect punch and attitude to his powerful lyrics.
Something Like A War, both the song and the album, are filled with the type of intensity we all need in facing our daily lives – and maintains the Already Dead working class ethos, positioned steadfast as a voice for labor movements and working class solidarity. And besides, there’s no chance of a sophomore slump when the moniker is nicked from baseball, yet another way Already Dead areembedded in Boston culture. “I was watching the Ken Burns documentary on baseball,” Cummings admits, “and heard the Ty Cobb quote about how ‘every game is something like a war’. It immediately resonated with me for a few reasons .First it just sounds badass [laughs]. But also to describe approaching something with that kind of intensity and determination struck a chord.”
What we love about “Something Like A War” is that it is a record that is full of brilliantly constructed songs . We live in era where everyone is going for the “single” it’s a nice change of pace to hear an album that kicks ass from top to bottom . From “One Foot”, “Rock Bottom” , “Wits End”and our personal favorite “When You were Great” Something Like A War “ is an album that needs to be heard and played loud .
We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single “You’ve Got That Edge” from Urban Heat .
You can listen to “You’ve Got That Edge” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
Post-punk darkwave underground faves Urban Heat absolutely slay with their latest single “You’ve Got That Edge “ which is from their upcoming album “The Tower” due on August 16th .

Urban Heat artfully fusion of electronic and post-punk styles with an uncanny ability to write undeniably universal drop intoxicating hooks, the Austin-based band gives incredible and rousing performance, too – they’re currently on an extensive US Summer tour, which will be followed by a European tour with Molchat Doma in the fall.
Lead singer Jonathan Horstmann says of the upcoming single, “This track is for anyone who looks in the mirror and doesn’t feel like the reflection is a good representation of who they really are… We wanted to remind anyone who feels isolated that they are a force of nature.
This was the first song written for The Tower (their upcoming album out August 16th), and sonically it gave us permission to go to so many places. The verse is very synthpop but we bring in big guitars with a halftime breakdown. It’s a damn anthem. So many of our songs are about anxiety and fear and pain and it seems right to have something that feels so supportive emotionally to get everyone ready for the rest of the record. ‘Cause the rest of it hurts, lol.”

We absolutely love everything about Urban Heat and their latest single “You Got That Edge “ Urban Heat , is a prime example of a band who isn’t afraid to bring a fresh inventive style and sound to a somewhat mundane musical landscape.
We started The Whole Kameese back in 2020 as a way to keep busy during the pandemic. We are so lucky to have worked with so many wonderful artists, promoters and other music professionals. We were also so blessed to be able to share so much amazing music . We have made the difficult decision to put the blog on the back burner. At this time we need to focus on other important matters. We do not know how long we will be away but, we will return. We thank all of you for your support
We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single / video “Bullet In Disguise “ from California rock ‘n’ roll sister duo Dog Party .
You can listen to “Bullet In Disguise “ Here You can also check out the video below
We are 1000 percent over the moon about Dog Party’s new single and video for “Bullet In Disguise” The vibe and sound , everything is just absolutely electric.
Also, not to be lost in the shadow of an awesome new single… Dog Party , announced their seventh studio album Dangerous, which will be out digitally and on vinyl on May 17 via the newly formed Sneak Dog Records (founded by Dog Party and Lizzie Killian ( Teens In Trouble)
Loaded with raw emotion, “Bullet in Disguise” packs a mean punch, galloping over Western-tinged dark twang undertones. Vocalist/drummerLucy Giles takes the listener through the twisted torment of a deceitful romance as she chants, “Your love was nothin’ / your love was nothin’…” before wailing the chorus with vocalist/guitarist Gwendolyn Giles. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Aja Pop (SOUL GLO, Teens in Trouble).
“It made sense for us to lead with “Bullet In Disguise” because it showcases the true Dog Party sound – catchy riffs, bombastic drums, and emotive belting,” said Lucy Giles. “‘Bullet In Disguise’ also gives the listener a glimpse of the elevated production of the album! It is a nice little teaser for what’s to come!”

Vancouver, Canada Skatepunk Band The Corps Announces New Members
In preparation for a busy 2024, Vancouver’s skatepunk powerhouse THE CORPS has undergone a lineup change.
Canadian skatepunk outfit THE CORPS (Thousand Islands Records) recently announced the amicable departure of bassist Ronnie Ellis and guitarist Andrew Pederson on the band’s social media.
In their place, The Corps have enlisted Vancouver punk rock veterans Morgan Farrell (ATD, Blacked Out, Bishops Green) on guitar and Dave Derksen (ATD, Little Fix, Whiskey River Gun Club) on bass. Both Morgan and Dave will make their debut with the band in March of this year.
“We’re really happy for Dave and Morgan to be joining The Corps,” says guitarist and lead vocalist Danny Garrison. “Ronnie and Andrew left some pretty big shoes to fill, but since Morgan and Dave are actual giants I’m confident we will hit the stage stronger than ever. Literally.”
The Corps have a new full-length album to be released on Montreal’s Thousand Islands Records this spring (release date TBA). Ronnie and Andrew’s final show with the band will be February 21 at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver with California ska-punk legends, Mad Caddies.
We recently had the opportunity to check out the new single “Move On” from Barcelona punks Blowfuse.You can listen to “Move On” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
You can check out the video for “Move On” below.
Influenced by 80’s and 90’s punk rock waves and the skateboard lifestyle, Blowfuse crafts a style all its own, mixing the aggressiveness of hardcore punk, the catchy melodies of 90’s punk rock, the powerful classic rock riffs, with acidic and paranoid lyrics.
The new single “Move On” is the first of the new album which will be out in 2024! “Move On is a call to action and change. Its direct message conveys a sense of empowerment and the necessity of freeing oneself from the past to find a new direction in life.”, says singer Oscar Puig. The detrimental habit of complaining and self-pitying won’t do anything but increase frustration. Only by accepting reality and taking responsibility can you navigate towards a new direction.
Blowfuse are an amazing band with a brilliant sound. We hear shades of The Offspring on “Move On “ but Blowfuse has their own sound that we absolutely love
“Move On” will be out digitally today (December 15) , being presented by SBÄM, HFMN Crew, Epidemic Records and Infected Records.
We recently had the opportunity to check out the killer new album “So Many Ways..” from Brazilian punks Scumbags . You can listen to “So Many Ways..” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
If we’re being honest … listening to “So Many Ways..” from Scumbags was probably the best 39 minutes and 56 seconds we have spent in a while .
“So Many Ways..” is the band’s second album and while it has the same melodiand sonic goodness from their first record “Sour Days” there is definitely signs of maturity on “So Many Ways”
“I think that since our first album, Sour Days, we have matured a lot in terms of composition and arrangements. We started hearing new references and brought them to our songs.” reports Chris Oliveira, the band’s drummer.
This maturity is already evident in production. Part of the album was recorded at Forest Lab, in Rio de Janeiro, a studio specialized in completely analog recording. And another part was recorded at Eletric Meduza, a recording studio located in Brusque, Santa Catarina, which also works with analogue elements in the recordings.
For Chris, the new songs will bring a different feel to what people are used to hearing in Scumbags. “The upcoming album will bring a new aesthetic to the band, a new sound. No longer the 90s punk rock that we are used to playing, but we are going to bring more risky and different things.”
Right from start, “So May Ways..”delivers … The title track“So Many Ways..” kicks off an album full of pure punk rock bliss.
Scumbags have a familiar sound but they have a style that is all their own, and it absolutely kicks ass .
Standout tracks on the album include “Elected”, “Sticks And Stones” , Through This Sidewalk and “Remedy”
So find a good spot and loose yourself in the punk brilliance of Scumbags.
Band Playing Hometown Show with Lucky Boys Confusion on December 16 at Chicago’s Concord Music Hall
We are absolutely through the roof excited because Chicago based pop punk band Showoff have released a new single, “Bitter Pill” , first new music in nearly 6 years.
You can listen to “Bitter Pill” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here. You can check out the video for “Bitter Pill” below
Beloved Chicago pop-punks Showoff(who, at one time, were signed to Madonna’s Maverick Records label) are back with the new single “Bitter Pill”, their first new music since 2017’s ‘Midwest Side Story.”
Founding member and front man Chris Envy says, “It’s been 6 years since our last release. This is the first video we have released since 1999. Having Mickey (Molinari) back on drums (he was the drummer on the 2006 “Waiting For You” album) has been so great. Everyone just clicked. This song was written as a band from start to finish and it felt like Showoff was moving forward in a direction it was always meant to get to. It’s been such an amazing experience.”
Showoff is a band who seem to have this limitless supply of energy. You can definitely feel the energy full force on their new electrifying new single “Bitter Pill”
Showoff will celebrate the release of “Bitter Pill” on December 16 , when they play a hometown show at Concord Music Hall with fellow pop punk heroes Lucky Boys Confusion. Get tickets HERE.
If we are being honest we will probably remember 2023 as the year we fell in love with punk rock band The Dollyrots . We have always been into their music but, this year we have come to appreciate their boundless energy (It’s not easy to be a parent and.. rock out but the husband and wife duo (Kelly Ogden , bass and vocals and Luis Cabezas ) do it with style,grace, positivity and fun
We have been wearing out their latest album “Night Owls” which you can stream Here
The Dollyrots, Kelly Ogden (bass and vocals), Luis Cabezas (guitar and vocals), with Simon Hancock as their current touring drummer are ready to kick 2024 into high gear as they announce a January tour run with Bowling For Soup and Lit, tickets available now at Tour — THE DOLLYROTS. In March the band will tour with Gymshorts as support, tickets go on sale on December 8. Full list of dates is below.
But….. Before we say goodbye to 2023 the band has released their punked up yet sentimental version of the NYE classic “Auld Lang Syne” out now on Wicked Cool Records. The song is already on tap to be The Coolest Song In The World on Sirius XM’s Underground Garage the last week of 2023.
We absolutely love this rocking version of “Auld Lang Syne” The Dollyrots make the song 100% their own as well as getting some help from their kids – We love it

We were absolutely stoked to check out the new video for “Not A Phase” from San Diego punks Strike Twelve
Not A Phase” is off the trio’s recent album ‘Last Band Standing’– out now on Thousand Islands Records.
Watch the video for “Not A Phase – Below
The band says, ““Not a Phase” is the opening track on our newest full-length “Last Band Standing,” which was released June 30, 2023 on Thousand Islands Records.
The music video is a compilation of archived videos, photos and flyers from our 20+ years as a band. It was painstakingly pieced together by the one and onlyFelony Ron of @Felony Films / Felony Records.
“We joke around that when people like our wives first met us, they thought the band was a temporary phase. Now, decades later, we’re still going strong. While being in a band has great potential to be disruptive to the rest our lives, it is in fact the glue that holds us together.”
“Not A Phase” is both sonically and melodically pleasing . Strike Twelve, is most definitely on their A GAME with “Not A Phase “
We here at The Whole Kameese love a song with a good groove , and “Date Knight” from UK indie punk band Raisin Awareness has an absolutely insane groove! You can listen to Date KnightHere
Date Knight” – a heartfelt track that chronicles the trials and triumphs of starting something new in adulthood, blending raw emotion with an infectious rhythm that encourages listeners to embrace the music and dance along.
Jo D, the band’s lead vocalist, and guitarist, says, “In ‘Date Knight’, we’ve opened our hearts out about the struggles and joys of starting something new in adulthood. We started the band in 2020, and while Rob (drums) is a seasoned musician, it was something very new for Daggi (bass) and I.”
“I reference dancing and skating in particular because I love both. While I have no hesitation about expressing myself through dance, I know others do, and I want to encourage them that there is no ‘one’ way to dance, as long as it feels good. Bring out your inner Ace Ventura, everyone!!”
“As for skating, I started in my mid-thirties, but adulthood should never be a barrier to new beginnings. The resonating words of a cherished friend – ‘never give up’ – serve as my guiding light. Despite the struggles, I persist, for the sheer joy it brings me —from the activity itself to meeting people in the skating community— is irreplaceable.”
“Date Knight ” is a song that echoes our frustration of playing shows for free as a new band, but it also echoes our absolute love for making music. It’s a bittersweet journey, but one we wouldn’t change.”
We love everything about Raisin Awareness. We love how they mix honesty and melodies.“Date Knight” has a heartfelt message and it also inspires you to dance like no one is watching.
Fabled Mind Releases New Digital Single “Algorithm” Off Exclusive Vinyl Only LP ‘Project Paradise,’ An Electrifying Dystopian Concept Album, Available Now
Digital Release Coming In January 2024
We recently checked out the new digital single “Algorithm” from Copenhagen punks Fabled Mind
You can stream “Algorithm” and buy the vinyl Here. “Algorithm” is the latest single off their exclusive vinyl LP release ‘Project Paradise,’ an electrifying full-length dystopian concept album, emerging from the shadows as an experimental hybrid-genre phenomenon, deeply rooted in a love for the exhilarating punk rock of the 90s.
Photo: Rocio Arcenegui
“Algorithm “ from Fabled Mind is what happens when you combine excellent punk rock mixed with science fiction and push play It is a spectacular musical experience that we can’t stop listening to it
The band has teamed up with Thousand Islands Records (CANADA) Lockjaw Records (UK) and Nasty Cut Records (EU)for the release of ‘Project Paradise’ on vinyl. The LP takes listeners on a captivating narrative journey, inviting them to contemplate their own existence in an ever-evolving world shaped by technological advancements
The band writes, “The protagonist grapples with his thoughts being controlled by the AI system Project Paradise, prompting questions about free will. The lyrics reference digital algorithms shaping online experiences and those in human cognition, emphasizing the need to understand our thought processes, question beliefs and avoid echo chambers. Exploring our minds’ complexities enables us to navigate the information landscape with awareness, recognizing the influence of algorithms on our perception of the world.
Algorithm’ descends upon the listener with an eerie and foreboding introduction, fusing ethereal spacey elements with mechanical sounds. Haunting screams and a menacing riff set the stage, forewarning of an unseen menace. The song swiftly transforms into an aggressive and melodic skatepunk track, with a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead.
You need find your favorite music listening spot and get lost in the magic that is Fabled Mind .
We are beyond thrilled to check out the new red hot new single and video for “What I Cannot Be” from UK punks Darko
You can listen to “What I Cannot Be” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here you can also check out the video below
There is never a shortage of true passion and authenticity in the musicfrom Darko , their new single “What I Cannot Be” is blazing fast and full of truth and honesty .
Melodic skate punk will always be in the DNA of Darko, but sometimes it just isn’t angry enough for the subject matter”, frontman Tom West said of the striking departure from the band’s established sound.
What I Cannot Be” kicks off the upcoming 5 track “Greyscale”. Producer Will Duff of Goliath Studios returns to the desk for the nihilistic second chapter of a trilogy preceeded by 2022’s genre-bending “Sparkle”.
Across the pummeling two-minute new single, West savagely condemns “neanderthal hardmen” and traditional expectations of masculinity.
Having focused on how the patriarchy principally harms women and marginalised genders in Sparkle’s opener “The Ladder”, this time around I needed to vent about the significant toll it also takes on men and boys”, explains West.
“Being pushed into boxes based on redundant stereotypes hurts everyone.”
As we get we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, here in the USA- We are extremely grateful for new music from Darko and can not wait for more. The band will be on tour , starting November 30th details below
Catch DARKO on tour in Europe in December.

The original motion picture soundtrack of the T.S.O.L. documentary IGNORE HEROES is now available digitally and on vinyl via DC-Jam Records and record stores worldwide.
The soundtrack is composed by band member Greg Kuehn and includes his piano interpretations of classic T.S.O.L songs, interspersed with spoken word by punk legend and band frontman Jack Grisham.
Directed by Grisham, IGNORE HEROES tells the story of the original T.S.O.L. through interviews with the surviving members and those who were there with them in the madness of the early Californian punk rock scene.
Jack Grisham is an unconventional artist, and his directorial debut film is an unconventionally structured documentary that tells the fractured fairytale of one of the most violent bands in American history. T.S.O.L. exploded onto the Southern California hardcore punk scene in 1978 from the ashes of the notoriously antisocial Long Beach band Vicious Circle and, over the span of five foundational years, managed to record two EPs and two LPs with Grisham that continue to find new audiences 40 years later. Singer/songwriter Grisham was the handsome and hulking suburban ringmaster who commandeered audiences of thousands and was poised to become something of an accidental death rock revolutionary before dropping out of the scene to pursue synthesizer-oriented music and his own personal demons. Through colorful standup monologues, raw archival footage, animation and interviews with the people who made it all happen, IGNORE HEROES candidly contextualizes the excesses that fueled the inexorable crash and burn of TRUE SOUNDS OF LIBERTY!”
Greg Kuehn, originally a classical pianist, shifted to punk in Orange County, joining punk icons T.S.O.L. and producing the acclaimed “Beneath the Shadows” album. He later collaborated with artists like Bob Dylan, The Church, Berlin, and Megan Mullally, and performs occasionally with LA punk band X, stepping in for the late Ray Manzarek of The Doors. His latest EP ‘Medicine Man’ is out now via DC Jam Records.
Upcoming Show:
January 6 – Observatory- Santa Ana, CA (with guests 45 Grave, Bad Cop Bad Cop, The Detours, Taken Days The Venomous Pinks and more).
We are beyond thrilled for “Ignore Heroes “ This definitely one documentary you can not miss.

We are not going to pull punches here… we love everything about UK trio Raisin Awareness. We were psyched to check out their new single and video for “Living Colour”
You can listen to “Living Colour “ on Spotify Here and on AppleMusic Here
You can watch the video for “Living Colour” below. The video was filmed and edited by Rob Piper
Jo D, the band’s lead vocalist, and guitarist, says, “Put simply, Living Colour is about our inability to actively or compassionately listen to one another, particularly when communicating needs and wants in a relationship, because we’re all so desperate to feel heard.
This is why the song repeats ‘…heard it all before…’ because sometimes it feels like the same conversation occurs over and over, and that it’s just going around in circles. No solution or agreement is reached.
When I refer to “all the shameful things in the world” and imply that we all just walk by ignoring them, it touches on how self involved we can be and if we took a step back to really see the bigger picture, maybe we can all be more kind, compassionate and understanding of one another.
As much as I try, I am fully aware of how guilty I am of not compassionately or actively listening, and how self involved I can be sometimes, but the awareness I have of this flaw means I’m at least able to try a little harder.
Communication isn’t just about speaking, it’s about listening too. I think we sometimes forget that.”
Raisin Awareness is a passionate pop-punk band hailing from the UK. The band formed in 2020 during lockdown when Jo (vocals/guitar) and Rob (drums) seized their creative opportunity. Soon after, Daggi joined on bass, making them an unshakable musical trifecta inspired by bands such as Hot Mulligan, TheSwellers, The Flatliners & The Menzingers, and an 80s/90s mashup of genres.
Raisin Awareness are able to brilliantly bring an electrifying sound that is both melodically and sonically pleasing. “Living Colour” is simply a can’t miss track .
We recently had the most excellent opportunity to check out the brand new single “Reflector” from Winnipeg, Manitoba based grunge punk band Death Cassette via the really rad folks at High End Denim Records
You can listen to “Reflector” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
If you are a regular reader of The Whole Kameese then you know that we don’t like to pull punches about really good music. So we are just going to come right out and say it
Death Cassette is the absolute, undeniable real deal. We have been absolutely in awe of their new single “Reflector” , If you haven’t listened to the single which you can do above, pause the reading portion of this review and bask in the glow of “Reflector “ (Don’t worry we’ll be here when you get back)
“Reflector” is the first single off of Death Cassette’s new EP “Get Rid Of It “ which will drop on November 17th
Here is what the band has to say about “Reflector“: Venting about the smug moral superiority and self-serving hypocrisy, “you’re always so quick to point the finger, just take a look in the mirror.” The lyrics reflect on how much energy can be available to overwhelming individuals.
Death Cassette has a sound and style that grabs your attention immediately. We are all in on Death Cassette, we have been cranking “Reflector “ music this amazing needs to be shared
We can’t wait for the new EP “Get Rid Of It” out on November,17th via High End Denim Records until then we will listen to “Reflector” over and over .
We are so excited to finally get our ears on the brand new record from The Dollyrots,“Night Owl’s “ via Wicked Cool Records (Spoiler Alert : This album is absolutely amazing!)
You can listen to “Night Owls” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
From the moment we heard the first note on “5+5” We knew we were in for an absolute treat . (Husband and wife Luis Cabezas,guitar and Kelly Ogden,bassist and lead vocalist) The Dollyrots are an absolute punk treasure who make music with their whole heart and soul ( and you can hear and feel it throughout “Night Owls” )
Credit Jen Rosenstein
The band once again enlisted longtime collaborator John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low, Meet Me At the Altar) who is responsible for the bulk of production credit.
The infectious track “Night Owl” is the kind of song that could a start a dance party out of thin air . You can watch the video for “Night Owl” below
Another standout track on “Night Owls” is “When We’re Sober “ which is the current single . “As a band who writes songs about knowing how to party, we can honestly say we’re pretty good at it. But we also know testing limits means maybe you’re not so sure about your own. “When We’re Sober” isn’t an anti-drinking song, and it’s not a pro-drinking song. It’s more about acknowledging how easy it is to lose control of something when you aren’t aware of your own tendencies.” — says singer / bassist Kelly Ogden
You can check out the official lyric video for “When We’re Sober” below
We really like the track “Tree Sways” Kelly’s vocal performance is off the charts. The orchestral parts on “Tree Sways “ are absolutely stunning.
When we do a review we like to pick one song that is our favorite. However, on album like “Night Owl’s it’s almost impossible to do . But, in the end the one track that really stood out is the final track on the album “A New England” Every thing about this track is positively magnificent. It is a beautifully crafted song that is well written and both melodically and sonically pleasing.
We might be old school but we really enjoyed the lyrics on “Night Owl’s “ We are big fans of lyrics here at the Whole Kameese and enjoyed learning and singing the beautifully written on the album.
The Dollyrots are hosting a special album release party tonight ( October 13th) at Heaven Can Wait in NYC with two separate events. The night will kick off with an intimate meet and greet that will include an acoustic performance, exclusive poster, and a photo with the Dollyrots.

We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new album “Sail Away” from Long Island,New York based American Punk & Folk Rock band Clover’s Curfew .
You can listen to “Sail Away “ on Spotify Here and on Apple MusicHere
There are some bands that play with such passion and purpose that the music literally not only makes you move and be joyful but it also touches your heart and soul . Without question Clover’s Curfew is one of those bands .
We were absolutely mesmerized when we sat and listened to Clover’s Curfew and their latest record “SailAway” . Jameson Jenkins and Danni Christian started writing music together in the beginning of 2019 . The combination of Jameson’s background in Punk Rock and Danni’s in folk have created an authentic and honest sound that is absolutely perfect.
The first track on the new record is actually the title track “Sail Away “ We fell instantly for “Sail Away” it is the perfect opening track . We can picture singing this with our friends at our favorite pub.
We were immediately drawn to the addictive melody of “Do The Walk” Danni Christian gives a powerful and flawless vocal performance.
We loved the tempo of “NoWay Out” We found ourselves singing along almost instantly.
The different vocal styles of both Jameson and Danni give the songs strong character and heart . You can feel the passion and energy in their voices .
One of our favorite tracks on “Sail Away “ is “They Call It A Trade “ We love everything about this song . It is a well written song with a perfect melody . We were singing this one long after the music stopped.
From start to finish “Sail Away” from Clover’s Curfew is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to hear these songs live.
We recently had the opportunity to check out the new single and video for “Kindle The Flame” from Dutch skatepunk unit Drunktank . It is the band’s first new material with Sarah Ockhuysen on vocals

If you don’t feel instantly compelled to start dancing up a storm when you hear the latest single and video “New Season “ from Bay cArea garage rockers The Atom Age…. You may want to check for a pulse. “New Season “ is absolutely, positively electrifying.
You can listen to “New Season” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here . You can also check out the amazing video below
You can feel the explosive power of “New Season “ right from the start. From the top, “New Season” is an unhinged riot of punk defiance with cutting riffs and aggressive drums that perfectly punctuate guitarist Ryan Perras‘ high-energy vocals. The single is brimming with the band’s rock-‘n’-roll passion, distorted sound, and raw spark. “We live in fright each night / Chainsaw our teeth but won’t say we’re uptight / a new season is here they say / but sometimes its better to upend,” Perras shouts from verse to chorus. The sextet – made up of vocalist/guitarist Peter Niven, vocalist/guitaristRyan Perras, drummerTim Harman, saxophonistBrendan Frye, organistFred Brott, and bassistRandy Moore – melds groovy, organ-tinged melodies, fuzzed out guitars, and rock-solid rhythm, resonant with sounds like The Hives, The Sonics, The Cramps, and Rocket From The Crypt.
In the video, The Atom Age frolics around a sunny garden with exaggerated glee. Shots of sardonic joy while the band quite literally takes time to smell the roses are juxtaposed with the band rocking out in a tightly-packed performance of the song.
‘New Season’bemoans the frustrating tendency to put our faith into the newest, greatest whatever thing that appears,” said Perras. “It’s been exhausting to deal with the promises of technology and ‘new’ ways of thought that never quite seem to be as beneficial as they promise. Satisfying change always feels just out of reach and we can never seem to wrap our heads around a truly new way to begin.”
We are in complete awe of the power and energy of The Atom Age . We can’t wait for more . ‘
The Atom Age will release their self-titled album on September 29, which is available to pre-order now via Asian Man Records. The band will be performing at their album release show at The Kilowatt in San Francisco on September 8. The show will be a 21+ event free to the public with support from The LoserLees and The Circulators.
Hailing from East Los Angeles, alt-punk staples Death Lens proudly announce their signing to Epitaph Records. Comprised of Bryan Torres, Matt Silva, Jhon Reyes, and Eduardo Contreras, the foursome has three albums under their belts, a split EP with The Frights, and opened for acts such as Enjoy, Together Pangea, Cherry Glazerr, Militarie Gun and many more. Reflecting on the occasion, the band enthuses,
Coming from absolutely nothing to getting signed by a label we grew up idolizing and always dreaming we’d be on is an incredible honor. We are still in awe that we get to share our name with such a legendary roster. To be a part of this legacy is so insane… we still can’t wrap our heads around it! Hard work pays off and we thank Epitaph for this once in a lifetime chance.”
You can listen to “Vacant” from Death Lens Here and you can watch the video below
“I hold Vacant dear to my heart because it tells my everyday story of existing with social anxiety and relying on alcohol to break that since I was young,” Torres discloses. “Growing up with ADHD, I turned to alcohol as a way to slow my mind and feel normal around people, but it became a vice. Now that I’m older I’m trying to break that habit and try sobriety, but with sobriety comes a vacant feeling at times. My new obsession is writing and journaling how I feel to fill those voids, and that’s where the lyrics of Vacant came together.”
On their 2022 album ‘No Luck’, Death Lens were inspired by the turmoil and culmination of racial injustice of 2020. They set out to make an honest album that encapsulates the anxieties and hardships of life, while ultimately conveying a positive message that there is light at the end of the tunnel. As living proof of this themselves, the band grew up as minorities in a place with constant harassment by police and heavy gang violence. Their paths could have gone other ways, but they’ve chosen positivity and strive to be a light for their communities, their fans and each other.
We are 100% all in on Death Lens and their killer new single and video “Vacant” Death Lens has a familiar sound ( We hear shades of Rancid with a little bit of grunge . However one is crystal clear about Death Lens they bring a unique and blazing sound that is all their own, and …. We freaking love it.
Since the release of No Luck, Death Lens have been continuously reaching new heights. They performed at Treefort Fest, toured around the country with Militarie Gun and Together Pangea, and are one of the most played bands on SiriusXM Faction Punk. Their songs have been added to huge playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, with confirmed syncs in MTV’s Ridiculousness and EA’s NHL Video Game. After selling out two headline shows at The Echo in their hometown, 2023 is shaping up to be their biggest year yet. And we can’t wait !!!
We recently got the chance to check out the absolutely amazing new single “Medicine “ from Brighton UK punks Harker . You can listen to “Medicine “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here You can watch the video below
Harker is an explosive sonically pleasing band that absolutely kills it on their latest single “Medicine”. We love the power and passion that Harker possesses as a band, they play with enough energy to power a small town .
The band says the track is inspired by, “the current state of the UKs post lockdown climate, ‘Medicine’ is a furious protest anthem pushing back against politicians cashing out on the misery of working class people and capturing the anger of a country currently rifting through a class struggle.”
So not only are they skilled musicians but, they are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in and say what’s on their minds .
That’s punk rock to the core
Do yourself a favor and check out “Medicine” from Harker … You won’t regret it.

Now two years later, the band has just released ‘Suede Originals,‘ a 4-song EP and the first release by Brooklyn’s Miserable Neighbor Records. The record is a concentrated dose of driving guitars, big choruses, and insistent hooks. Initially slated to appear on the next Space Cadet full-length, these songs deserved to stand on their own.
‘Suede Originals’ was produced by Pete Steinkopf (Bouncing Souls) at Little Eden in Asbury Park and mastered by Alan Douches. It features Matt Olsson on bass and drums.
All four songs : “Suede Originals“, “Sunshine State “, “What’s The Matter With You “ and “Ya Ya Ya” four of the finest song you find anywhere. Space Cadet have truly out done themselves on “Suede Originals “

You can listen to “There Or Thereabouts” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
We are beyond excited to finally get our hands on “There Or Thereabouts from Spoilers.
Like a lot of bands the pandemic proved to be a bit challenging when it came to trying to make new music . The band comments “Between re-arranging recordings, re-writing songs, rehearsing and reassessing our life choices it took until 2022 to finally get the songs finished and the record mastered”
We can honestly say after playing the new EP about 4 thousands times ( apologies to our other office mates ) it was definitely worth the wait. “There Or Thereabouts is a melodic punk lover’s dream.

Right from the opening track “Peaches And Creams, the band is in top form. “It was something a bloke I used to drink with would say, he’d have a really positive story always ending somehow on a downer.”, says singer Dan Goatham (also known for being in SNUFF). “And he once said “well, it ain’t all peaches and cream.” So I stole it.”
Comprised of Snuff bassist Dan on lead vocals and guitar, guitarist and vocalistBen, bassistStu, and drummerLeon are highly skilled musicians who are well oiled punk rock machine
The energy from Spoilers is absolutely incredible as they blazed through standouts “None Taken “ and the latest single “Skip To The End”
Two of our favorite tracks from the EP, were “The Good Life “ and the title track “There Or Thereabouts “ We found ourselves singing along instantly to the two tracks.
“There Or Thereabouts “ from Spoilers is punk rock perfection. It is definitely an EP you need to hear
We recently checked out Gainesville based punk/folk rock band Mike & The Nerve and their electrifying song “The Last Day Of Summer”
You can listen to “Last Day Of Summer on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here
We happily stumbled upon Mike & The Nerve one sleepless night and , boy are we glad we found them .
Formed in 2017 in Gainesville, Florida, If your a fan of punk rock and or folk you can’t help but fall for the infectious sounds of Mike & The Nerve
“Last Day Of Summer “ that you can’t help but want to sing a long . We are guessing this song is amazing live . It’s a well crafted song with a great melody that we have been humming for days . Mike & The Nerve are Frontman ,Mike Llerena, guitarist,backing vocalist Will Diaz, bassist, backing vocalist, Nathaniel Fuller and drummer Phil Kaneps and as we say in Boston they are wicked good
It’s bands like 3LH that fuel our love affair for music . The intoxicating sound of 60’s surf mixed with punk and garage band vibes topped with an amazing guitar sound make 3LH a band you can’t afford to miss .
“Blue Collar Blues “ caught our attention immediately with a sound and style like nothing we’ve ever heard .
Frontman Rafa Heredia says, “This is a song about self reflection after having maybe a pint too many at your favorite divey hole in the wall, it’s a callback to tracks like “Alabama song (Whisky Bar)” by The Doors – the song lends itself to telling a fun twisted story while not taking itself too seriously.”
Comprised of Rafa Heredia (Guitar/ Vocals), Johnny Villanueva (Keys/Guitar) Kevin Carranza (Drums) Favian Vega (Bass), 3LH deliver the tones of the likes of guitar virtuosos like Link Wray, The Kinks, mixed with the garage / punk sensibilities of modern acts like The Growlers, The Frights and Tijuana Panthers.
We can’t wait for more music from 3LH but, in the meantime we will just put “Blue Collar Blues “ on repeat and enjoy.
So full disclosure: We here at The Whole Kameese are huge fans of the band ALL (Heck during on our first interviews ever we were punk’d by the great Bill Stevenson of All/Descendents
So when we heard that there was a band who was making music in the vain of All…..
We had to check it out immediately. We were already fans of Mercy Music and Sharp Shock ( We love Sharp Shock’s cover of “Silly Girl “ by the Descendents). So we were super double pumped when we heard they will be releasing their debut album “Stop The World”due out Friday April 14th via WiretapRecords (US), Brassneck Records (UK) and Waterslide Records (Japan). Pre-Orders for the 12” LP vinyl are now live on the label’s websites.
And wait there’s more….. (Cue drum roll) To accompany the album announcement, the band has released another new single off the upcoming new record, a hyperactive punch in the face called “Alien”, streaming now on all platforms.
We absolutely love the latest single “Alien” it totally rocks to the highest order . Not does a tremendous job of honoring the All/Descendents sound . We are psyched for thedebut album “Stop The World “ on April 14th
