Live at Mc Caferty’s in St. Paul 1983

Civil Defense….After 30 years…. vintage film of Civil Defense has been discovered. They just got out of a recording studio after recording Gun Control… their first EP. They were playing that night with Sonny Vincent and the Extreme at Mc Cafertys in St.Paul, MN 1983.

Old Wild Hearts

Stream the album, then buy it from their Bandcamp page!

Home (video stream)

Home is the bands second album for Epitaph, and it definitely has that Epitaph polish going for it. Strong effort with all the polish you’d expect from a bigger label, yet maintains all the gruff edge you’d expect from OWTH.

This is the full album stream, and currently features videos for 3 tracks.

Sometime To Return – 1988 – Live

Probably the most commercially successful band to come out of the Minneapolis punk scene, eclipsing Husker Du & The Replacements. After all, they never played a Presidential Inaugural Ball!

Still. I’ve always been a fan of the early Soul Asylum stuff. Every since the mega-hits of the 90s they have pretty much been written off as one of the anchors of the MPLS punk scene in the early days. But go back and listen to those Twintone and A&M albums and you’ll see that it still stands up even into the mid-2010s.

This Is How I Kiss

I know nothing about these guys, but they keep asking to be added, so here you go. Straight out of Robinsdale (home of the late Kurt Hennig).

Sunday

I’m not sure how I manager to NOT post anything by these guys before now. The album is awesome!

Just stumbled on this in-studio clip. Great song!

A few tracks from early 2000′s

I know nothing of this band, but I certainly like what I hear! Tim Fool has promised to fill me in though.

Nightlife

First track from the soon to be released new album “Home”

You Can Count On Me Tonight

Nato Coles and The Blue Diamond Band “You Can Count On Me Tonight” @ Triple Rock 07.30.12

I honestly don’t know anything about Nato Coles. I missed them at the post-Fest mini Fest this year, but I’m including the anyway because I like what I heard here in this video. Enjoy!

I’m Not One for Swearin’

Minneapolis punk rock group, The Right Here, perform their song, “I’m Not One for Swearin’…” at The Turf Club in St. Paul on 08.23.12.

Dead Flowers

Minneapolis punk rockers, The Right Here, perform “Dead Flowers” by The Rolling Stones at M3dµ$a (07.26.2012).

I caught these guys at the “Post-fest mini-fest” at the Hexagon Bar a while back. Great set! Fun. Crowd seemed to be into them. It was the first time I had seen them so I’m not real familiar with them, but it was a fun set. Check them out!
