Black Gold Sun’s Veronica and Anita are a band rooted in community, catharsis, chosen family, and the radical idea that you should leave a show feeling better than when you walked in. Ahead of their bittersweet September 9th show at Bottom of the Hill, they talk about punk's DIY spirit and the history that brought them here. Their new EP is a time capsule of this moment, but the message is timeless: rage, scream, rock, feel the up, and bring everybody with you. Featuring a sneak peak at their new video.

Slow Death delivers a cold and compelling debut on Fast Life, blending post-punk atmosphere with gritty punk energy from upstate New York.

Portland’s Old Cross strips things back with an acoustic EP that finds new weight in familiar songs.

LEE STOCK 4 brought The Pound back to life with two stages, 54 bands, and relentless DIY energy. From TWAT’s scorched-earth punk to The Vaxxines’ rabble-rousing close with Elegant Trash, Sacripolitical, Ultrafiend X, and many more in between, it was a sun-soaked reminder that the Bay Area scene is very much alive.
