PODCAST: Punk's not dead, it's aging

It is episodes such as this that really make doing this podcast worthwhile for me. I had a great conversation with Paul Rachman, the director of American Hardcore, during Slamdance last year at the Treasure Mountain Inn in Park City. He is an extremely cool guy that has led a fascinating life. Have a listen. If you, like me, happen to love indie filmmaking AND punk rock, this will be quite a treat. check out the site for the complete show notes (which includes Paul's trailers and links to find him online) and don't forget to subscribe on iTunes!

RECOMMENDATION: Mariachi El Bronx

Joshua Ligairi » 11.26.11 »

What do you mean? It's a mariachi side project of a popular hardcore band, of course. Duh.

I was WAY late to the game on this incredible mariachi band formed from hardcore group The Bronx. Which surprised me because I was already a fan of The Bronx. Thought I'd have heard of this earlier. Thanks to David Nibley of Seattle Street Soccer for turning me on to it. This is one of my favorite songs by the band.



I'd also recommend checking out the songs "48 Roses" "Cell Mates" and "Revolution Girls" before forming an opinion. Hope you enjoy.
