We recently had the amazing opportunity, to check out the new red hot new single, “Misery”, from Edmonton based skatepunk trio, Broken Yolks.
Misery is the second single from their upcoming first full length release “The View of the Bystander” which releases on August 8, via the fine folks from High End Denim Records.
You can listen to the glorious new single, “Misery” Here
Broken Yolks ( besides having a killer name) have a refreshing, high energy and vibrant punk sound that we are absolutely mesmerized about . “Misery” is the perfect tune to make your punk rock heart, extremely happy.
The track is a haunting, introspective song that personifies emotional pain as a familiar yet destructive companion. The lyrics explore the lingering impact of trauma, depression, or heartbreak—experiences that, once ignored or buried, return with greater force. The song identifies a toxic comfort in revisiting emotional suffering, almost like welcoming back an old friend. The song captures the complex relationship we can develop with our darker thoughts—resisting them, missing them, and fearing their return all at once.
So go find your favorite music listening spot, and go get lost in the punk rock goodness of “Misery”, from Broken Yolks.
We recently had the stellar opportunity to check out the new single, “Sunny Side” ,via Punkerton Records , from Leipzig’s skate punk, Skeetch . You can listen to “Sunny Side” on Spotify HereApple Music Here
You can watch the video for “Sunny Side”, directed by Frosty Tapes, below,
We were instantly captivated by the boundless and electrifying energy of “Sunny Side”, from Skeetch .
“Sunny Side”, blends big-hearted energy with gritty hooks, the song is a rush of melodic, ’90s-inspired punk rock that’s both nostalgic and deeply personal.
What we absolutely love about “Sunny Side”, is that it immediately gives off ‘90s melodic skate punk vibes as soon as the opening guitar riff hits. It’s the kind of song that transports you back to the days when Warped Tour cost less than 20 bucks and Tony Hawk was shaping the listening habits of a generation. With fast, punchy drums, soaring guitar leads, and shout-along hooks, it’s a throwback without sounding dated — a refreshing jolt of youthful sincerity.
Lyrically, “Sunny Side” is a brilliantly written punk rock gem . It is a punk rock love song about finding a spark of beauty in the middle of a gray, lifeless backdrop. “It’s about finding someone (or something) good when everything else around you just isn’t,” the band explains. “It’s about seeing the beauty in the mundane.” The song’s refrain says it all:“You’re the sunny side of shitty town.”
Sunny Side”* is our not-so-cheesy love song — whether you see it as about a relationship, a friendship, or however you choose to interpret it. It’s a reminder that even when life sucks — sometimes, or even most of the time — it’s worth appreciating the little things. It’s about finding and embracing the _sunny side_ of whatever situation you’re in. The track is also the title song of our debut full-length album, ‘Sunny Side of Shitty Town’, dropping on August 22 via Punkerton Records. Keep your eyes peeled — pre-orders go live in the next few days!”–Skeetch
We are absolutely smitten with “Sunny Side”, from Skeetch. It has put our punk rock loving heart into overdrive. We can’t wait for Skeetch’s forthcoming debut full-length album, due later this year.

We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new single, “Flicker Out” , via High End Denim Records from Prince Edward Island’s finest – TeethOut!
You can listen to the blazing new single, “Teeth Out” on Spotify Here , Apple Music Here and on Bandcamp Here
We consider ourselves extremely lucky to be able to listen to some amazing music and share it with the world. Teeth Out in our opinion has such a unique sound and vibe , and it is on full display on their latest incredible single, “Flicker Out”
TeethOut is a skate-punk band from Charlottetown, PEI, formed in 2024. Made up of very middle-aged men trying to do things like they were 30 again, the band includes Josh Lavigne on vocals, Ira Banks and Brandon Doyle on guitars, Pete MacDonald on bass, and Jason Ezeard on drums. Inspired by the 90s punk sound, they bring an energetic style and catchy melodies that is so electrifying, they could probably light up all of the houses in PEI, with their amazing musical energy.
Following a lineup change right before the band released Put Your Money Where Your MouthIs ( which by the way freaking rules!( in January, they wasted no time writing with their two new members, diving straight into fresh material. Flicker Out is the first look at this new chapter. As always, the band used Shawn Taggart at Hog Audio to produce & mix the track. And there’s more on the way—a new four-song EP, Brittle but Elite, is set to drop in early April, delivering another dose of high-energy, no-nonsense skate punk.
Ozone –“Flicker Out was born from frustration—the kind that comes from watching the same fights play out over and over with no real winners. We wanted the song to feel urgent and raw, with lyrics that capture the exhaustion of endless conflict and the need to step away. I think Josh captured that well with his lyrics. Musically, we feel that it hits fast and hard, balancing melody with aggression, and of course, staying true to our “old-man” approach to skate-punk.”
We are absolutely over the moon about “Flicker Out” from Teeth Out, and we can’t wait for more.
Catch TeethOut on tour!

You can listen to “Thirty Years:Speaking To The Youth Here You order the absolutely beautiful vinyl Here
We can’t believe it’s been thirty years of absolutely incredible music from Authority Zero. And based on their blazing new EP, “Thirty Years:Speaking To The Youth they sound better ever !
The EP, titled “Thirty Years: Speaking to the Youth,” is “essentially about believing in yourself and fighting for what you believe in,”frontman Jason DeVore says. “Whatever that may be.”
The lyrics reflect on the world he sees around him through the filter on his own experiences.
It’s about the journey of this life and the awareness of it all,”he says. “Each moment good or bad. If there’s something that you love and feel a strong conviction about, don’t be afraid to stand up and speak about it, fight for it, be heard, and ultimately live and embrace it in its entirety.”
DeVore, bassist Mike Spero, guitarist Brandon Landelius and drummer Chris Dalley spent a week in Arizona writing “30 Years,” their first new music since the 2021 release of “Ollie Ollie Oxen Free.”
“So, it’s really what Authority Zero sounds like right now when you put the four of us in a room for a week,” DeVore says.
The bandmates then spent two weeks with producer Cameron Webb, who also took the helm on “Ollie Ollie Oxen Free” and 2013’s “The Tipping Point” at Maple Studios in Santa Ana, California.
We absolutely cannot get enough of this new EP , right from the first note on “A Change In The Tide” we found ourselves in the presence of absolute punk rock goodness.
We love the energy on “Lights Out”, in our opinion, this song is best enjoyed with the windows in your car down and the volume all the way up . We got lots of looks dancing it out at red lights but who cares? …. If you can’t dance it out to an amazing song… what’s the point?
We love the ska/reggae feel on “Ways To Wage A War” Authority Zero absolutely shines on this amazing track.
With six amazing songs , it is almost impossible to pick a favorite but, if we had to… it would be without question “Long Way To Go” , we love everything about this song . Sonically and melodically perfect… an absolute gem.
The message and vibe on “Second Chances” is absolutely on point , we really like the melody and vocals on this track.
The final track on the EP is the title track “Speaking To The Youth “ is an incredible groove that is overflowing with energy . We had this one on repeat for days.
“Thirty Years: Speaking To The Youth”, from Authority Zero is quite possibly the best way to spend 22 minutes of your day.

We were completely blown away by the new album “Find My Way via ( Pee Records/Disconnect Disconnect/Double Helix Records)from All Hope Remains. From note one All Hope Remains takes you on a melodic punk joy ride on “Find My Way “ that is absolutely breathtakingly brilliant.
“Find My Way” is melodic punk perfection 10 tracks of fast melodic punk rock, drenched in pop hooks and rhythmic breakdowns.
Drawing from the nineties punk template, All Hope Remains deliver their rapid-fire numbers with plenty of gusto and enthusiasm, littered with personal and social messaging.
From the opening track (Intro) that welcomes listeners to the ‘age of misinformation’, their lyrics often highlight some of the major points that are wrong about our modern world, whilst a majority of the lyrical content is mostly ‘personal’ in nature. Recent singles, ‘Burn’, ‘Mirror Mirror’ and ‘Standing By’, provide a good cross-section of what can be expected on this release, the best work yet from All Hope Remains.
Our favorite track on the new record is “Lights Out” the track is a blazing melodic delight and we loved every freaking second of it.

We recently got the awesome opportunity to check out the new single and video for “See All Colors” from OC Ska/Punk vets The Goodwin Club. You can listen to “See All Colors” Here And you can check out the video below.
Listening to the new single “See All Color” from The Goodwin Club, is a bright beautiful blast from the past and we are absolutely loving it .
The Goodwin Club became staples in the early-mid 90’s OC ska scene, playing early packed shows with the likes of Reel Big Fish, No Doubt, Sublime,The Aquabatsand more before dissolving in 1995. The lively local act featured members that went on to be in such bands as The Aquabats, The Hippos, The Scholars, Teen Heroes and Reel Big Fish.
The early.mid 90’s OC ska scene was such a vibrant scene , we are thrilled to know that The Goodwin Club has delivered a kick ass new tune with “See All Color” and… we are also thrilled to know that The Goodwin Club is announcing today that they are signing with SoCal label Wiretap Records as they prep their new album “Join the Club” almost 30 years after their first album.
Vocalist Tami Demaree says, “I think we were so young we were kinda set apart from other bands. We had both a male and female singer which was different from other bands back then as well. Other than surf all we had to do back then in Orange County was have a band. We practiced a lot and we immediately recorded a four song demo. Doing that, we got on lots of shows quickly. John Pantle from the Knuckle brothers took us under his wing and had us opening for lots of shows. He was probably the only ska promoter back then and the reason the ska scene was so big in OC.”
The band says, “30 years between album releases might sound impossible to some, but we in The Goodwin Club stare impossibility square in the eyes and say NAY, It shall be done!
We’ve loved creating the best high energy live show possible together these past few years but now we’ve bottled up that energy, churned it like crazy, and channeled it into our new album, “Join The Club” coming out on Wiretap Records, this summer! We can’t wait for you to listen, come to the shows again, and . . . JOIN. THE. CLUB!!!”
The Goodwin Club started in 1993. Members were all from the Huntington Beach area and mostly went to Edison High School. The original line up was Tami Demaree (vocals), Charles Grey (guitar) , Erick Hauser (bass), Marc Bosman (keys) , Andy Goodman (drums), Patrick McDonald (trombone), Jesse Wilder (sax), Adam Diebert (trumpet), Christ Scott (vocals). Later members included Aaron Barrett (trombone), Scott Klopfenstein (trumpet), Grant Barry (trombone), Dean Medford (sax) , Corey Pollack (guitar) and Rich Zahniser (trombone). The band dissolved in 1995 due to half the band going on to college. Most remaining members joined The Aquabats while other members were in The Hippos, The Scholars, Teen Heroes and Reel Big Fish.
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

The raw energy and uncompromising attitude of “Devil in Disguise” will have you headbanging and moshing in no time. It’s a sonic punch to the gut that dares you to embrace your wild side.
Hailing from the vibrant punk scene of Montreal’s north shore, The Speakeasy is a punk rock quintet best known for their energetic live performances with their blend of heavy skatepunk. With a collective punk rock journey spanning over two decades, the band officially came to life in November 2017.
Two EPs marked their journey, leaving a trail of chaotic footprints on the punk landscape. Now, as they gear up for the release of their third album, the anticipation is palpable. After a few noteworthy festivals such as the Pouzza Fest, Music 4 Cancer and Festirock, The Speakeasy gained more and more attention on the punk rock scene by delivering a full electrifying live performance.

But this isn’t just about record deals; it’s about breaking the chains of creative confinement. The Speakeasy’s music is a call to unity, a rebellion against the norm. The upcoming LP, a departure from the concept album format, is a declaration of freedom from rigid rules. It’s a raw expression of life’s kaleidoscope inspired by passion, the pandemic, the grind of work, the struggles of mental health, the grip of addiction, the complexities of love, the allure of sex, and the resilience found in getting knocked down and rising again. Their music isn’t just a soundtrack; it’s a celebration of punk spirit that invites you to join their revolution. The stage is set, the amps are buzzing, and The Speakeasy is ready to ignite.
Settle in and turn it way up, The DevilIn Disguise “ from the mighty The Speakeasy, featuring Colorsfade’s Jean François Buteau as Guest Vocalist is an absolute must listen.
