Lace up your Docs because we know you’re feeling lucky, punk. Hop the turnstiles with your Balcony Radio droogs for a bumpy ride through all the sneering, ripped jean acne-riddled spiky haired no shower having music they used to call the punk rock. It’s episode 15 of our series Sock Rocking Beats . . . this week we find out how many songs you can get out of three chords and a drum set that barely fits in the van. Get a job, you damn kids.
When somebody says “It’s time to rock” there should be the distinct understanding that walls will crumbled, faces will melt and the surrounding environment will become filled with screams. For episode 14 of Sock Rockin’ Beats we throw down the gauntlet and play music that will destroy the house, shatter eardrums and cause serious mayhem with the neighbors. It’s a 2-hour bludgeoning of the senses. The only resolution is to rock out completely. Keep an ambulance on standby outside.
