Spring 2013 Peek into Punk


Talk to a twenty-something with a mohawk, band t-shirt, karabiner with at least 15 keys, and full sleeve and he'll probably be able to tell you which bar sells PBR, or explain that although his band sounds precisely like Fugazi, it's it's own thing man. But he probably won't know who Steven Cox and Daniel Silver of Duckie Brown are or think his DIY studded belt belongs in a museum. Until now, but on his own terms, because he will rebel if you force him.

The Folk Punk Ruckus of Larry And His Flask

Lately I’ve been digging the supporting acts as much, if not more, than the headliners. Cadence Weapon during the Japandroids show, Math the Band on tour with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and as of Friday, Larry and His Flask at the Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls show, September 7th, Royale, Boston.

This drink is dedicated to all the hardworking office folk like myself who need a break. Forget an apple for the teacher, here's a caramel apple martini for the executive. And a fucking good playlist too.

Plan a Trip to Portland

Essentially a foodie pilgrimage, I spent three days and two nights in Portland, Maine, (destroying my diet) being a fat kid.

Deciding to forego a typical Cape Cod Labor Day Weekend, we headed up to Maine where our money could be spent on dietary delights that were Food Network worthy. A basket of overpriced, indistinguishable fried food and melty soft serve versus co-op harvested vegetables, grilled and pressed on locally made artisan bread?
Welcome to Vacation Land.

Here is my mini-Maine guide to Portland.

Honestly, I was too busy eating to make out
