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.

Punk is for all the misfits of all ages. From kids on their parents’ shoulders to seasoned silver-haired punks in studded battle vests, The Adicts’ recent Fillmore show proved punk remains one of the gracious spaces where generations of outsiders still belong together.

Dog Party kicked off the night with infectious energy and heart, while Monster Squad sent the pit into full chaos before The Adicts transformed the venue into a full-blown punk circus. More than a concert, it felt like a celebration of community, weirdness, family, and legacy.

A brutal, unflinching serialization about surviving abuse, finding refuge in punk, and carrying the weight of trauma into adulthood and emergency response work.

The festival has sold out, and aftermarket prices continue to propel sky-high, likely due to the Bieber Effect.
