Analysis of the Rock The Casbah music video

C Fish

Here’s my evidence; the oil well in what’s clearly on urban setting that looks like Signal Hill, the Winchell’s that looks like up by Poly high and it wouldn’t be too strange to have an Armadillo running around, that gas station is definitely the one around the corner from Cubesmart. And finally, where else are you gonna find an Orthodox Jew and Sheik chill enough to party together like … Continue reading Analysis of the Rock The Casbah music video

Cold Hart Review

C Fish

This one is long overdue as Cold Hart came across my desk a couple years ago. Cold Hart gets listed as emo rap. But really, this is LA Death Rock meets trap and the hardness of his home LBC. Long Beach has a storied history in death rock and goth. Starting with the album Good Morning Cruel World fits right into the vein of TSOL with elements of Christian Death and Thursday (an arguably goth band if the Jersey hard core scene. This album features the single Eyes with Rawska. It’s one of my favorite songs of the last 5 … Continue reading Cold Hart Review

The FIDLAR Band Review The Skate Punk Band Making Waves Out Of California… “FIDLAR” is a skate punk band from Los Angeles, California. The band’s name is an acronym for ‘Fuck It Dog, Life’s a Risk’; a skate mantra created by singer Zac Carper’s former roommates.

Ginn’s songwriting remains preoccupied with personal freedom and the ways people betray each other. A resigned misanthropy hangs over tracks like “Drifting … Continue reading Greg Ginn – Let It Burn (Because I Don’t Live There Anymore) 1994
