Forget the arguments over who invented punk, what counts as punk, and which bands get to wear the label. Punk has never needed permission, and it certainly isn't interested in retirement. From Variants to SNM to Healthy Junkies, three generations of bands prove that the scene is still loud, restless, collaborative, and very much alive.

Nearly 50 years after The Cramps recorded their earliest material with Alex Chilton, Gravest Gravy has finally clawed its way out of the vault. Originally assembled from the band’s October 1977 Ardent Studios sessions and shelved for decades, the previously unreleased album captures Lux Interior, Poison Ivy, Bryan Gregory, and Nick Knox at the beginning of their beautifully demented reign.

Restored and mastered for a new generation of people who still need their ears vexed. Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye and others made this fever dream come true.

Nearly four decades after last witnessing Suicide in the flesh, we return to experience Martin Rev at The Chapel in San Francisco and discover that the fire never went out. Reflecting on Suicide's legendary confrontational performances, the enduring legacy of Alan Vega, and Rev's unwavering commitment to the uncompromising sound that made the duo one of punk's most fearless pioneers. With support from Dagger Polyester and immersive visuals by VJ Divine Enfant, the evening proved that while one Dangerous Brother is gone, the sonic assault lives on.
