The LOUD WOMEN stage has become a Rebellion Festival highlight over the last three years, but it turns out the stage is only part of the story. Our lovely and talented Dick Slaughter wisely convinces LOUD WOMEN founder Cassie Fox to write his article for him, saving us from him trying to mansplain how LOUD WOMEN is putting women, femme-fronted, and feminist artists on stages around the world, and giving Dick a chance to add photos and be quiet for a change.

Supersuckers, self-proclaimed greatest rock-and-roll band in the world (and they are not wrong), with The Rumours and Against The Grain in Detroit on a Sunday night.

The Coholics become the one thing holding everything together as home life deteriorates and teenage rage spills into music, fights, theft, drinking, and drugs. A night of stolen pills and Mad Dog 20/20 nearly kills him, sending him somewhere strangely peaceful before he’s violently pulled back into the world. He wakes in a hospital, handcuffed to a bed and furious to be alive, haunted by the place he almost didn’t leave.

Public Image, Ltd. and Plague Vendor, “This Is Not The Last Tour” comes to Detroit 09/25/2026.

Pennywise, Angel Du$t, H2O & Murphy’s Law in Detroit.

A weekend of sweaty rooms, old friends, new bands, good tunes, hangovers, merch, and enough punk energy to keep Skegness moving. From The Puncturists kicking things off to Criminal Damage, Tear Up, Critical Candy, Zero Tolerance, and Broken Three Ways, Punk and Disorderly 2025 proves that the smaller punk weekender is still very much alive. Best part: discovering bands you’ve never heard before, dancing with people you’ve known for years, making new friends, and keeping the scene going. Use them or lose them.

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.

Gee Vaucher has spent a lifetime making art that refuses to behave. Our Dick Slaughter guides us through some of Gee’s work, shares unreleased photos, and talks with Gee about the Gee Vaucher Foundation, a newly founded registered charity whose mission is to preserve Gee’s artistic legacy while supporting future artists.

Mr. Craic of the Irish punk band, Craic Killers, meets up with In Spite's Jordon Ranft for an interview.

Thirty years after Third Wave ska exploded out of Southern California, something familiar is happening again, with a distinctly Latino flavor. The bands are young, the shows are packed, and Orange County is somehow involved… again.

CHICO drops a debut that expresses their perception of the dream and what it means to be at odds with it.

TV Smith isn’t slowing down. With a new album taking shape between gigs, a 2026 tour packed with solo shows and Adverts classics, and a stop at London’s legendary 100 Club, the punk poet is still putting in the miles and still giving us plenty to say about.

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.

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.

Public Image LTD (PIL) is hitting the road again. WITH—THIS IS NOT THE LAST TOUR. John Lydon and company return to North America for a massive run of dates, with Plague Vendor along for the ride, before heading to Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.

Iggy Pop and Los Tropicanos back in Detroit after 10 years, with My Chemical Romance.

“Body fascism.” maybe an internet buzz term but it’s not new. From toddler panties for women to makeup kits in the toy aisle, men in charge want women to think they have to be smaller, younger, and subservient. It’s so much easier to control things when people feel insecure, and the industry has been perfecting the trick for generations. Don’t buy the products; don’t let yourself disappear.

Peter Hook & The Light are taking Get Ready back on the road in 2026, performing the New Order album in full alongside essential Joy Division and New Order tracks. But if you think this is just another nostalgia tour, think again! The Light has turned this catalog into something far more intense: a full-body, emotional, borderline spiritual experience. Those unmistakable Hooky basslines, the darkness of Joy Division, and the sheer force of the band live have a way of converting even the skeptics.
