C.Y. Fest has been canceled amid allegations of sexual abuse, and In Spite Magazine’s Dee Ratchet raises the question: can we go longer than a few months without something in the punk ecosystem catching fire? Featuring photos by Kim Moenich. NO MEN CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ARTICLE, and that is probably for the best.

Blag Dahlia of the always a mess, always entertaining pop punk band The Dwarves took time to talk to Dick Slaughter about Punk in the Park, politics, and, of course, cocaine. This interview took place before the cancellation of the Punk in the Park tour. For the record, Blag and The Dwarves were never booked on the PITP Pittsburgh date.

Dick talks with Shawn Stern and gets Jello Biafra’s thoughts on the Dead Kennedys in their current incarnation playing Punk in the Park, while attempts to get a response from the band go unanswered. Featuring newly released photos of Jello, his former bandmates, and Skip, plus Paul Rotzler's spot-on flyer that feels especially relevant right now.
