Not Punk Relaunch

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:24:38 -0700

Hey gang! Sorry this blog’s been dark for a while; we’ve been working on something, something sort of big. Starting May 1st, there will be a new and reinvigorated Not Punk, and not just with the Punk/Not Punk images. Expect record reviews, live reviews, exclusive interviews, editorials, thinkpieces, guest columns, the works. May 1st, Not Punk will see a relaunch and a make-over as a music and entertainment hub; don’t miss out.

Kathleen Sebelius (Stay Out of My Uterus) -Cervixalot

Our response to Health and Human Services overruling the FDA’s choice to ease Plan B restrictions, brought to you by Lucia Fasano and Kyle McCormick of Cervixalot.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/2011/12/07/gIQAF5HicO_story.html?hpid=z1

Lucia Fasano is in my top 5 of favorite humans ever. Ever.

This is so fucking rad.

Hi! I’m Lucia and one of the creators of Not Punk Magazine, and I don’t think it’s okay how women’s reproductive rights are constantly at stake, so myself and Kyle, another creator of Not Punk, made this song! Check out our new project where we vent about feminism at Cervixalot’s facebook page :)

For those of you who haven’t seen Drive yet, go out and see it immediately. It’s the first movie I’ve seen all year that I’ve just absolutely loved, not to mention the absolutely stellar soundtrack.

Check it out.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been busy with school.

As consolation, here’s a terrifyingly depressing article about Sly Stone

Another one of our favorite albums this year comes from Sacramento scary ass hardcore rap collective Death Grips. If you haven’t heard their mixtape Ex-Military yet, scoop that shit up right away. It’s free.

Anyways, they put out the stems to all of their tracks recently, something that could come in handy if you know what you’re doing.

Pick those up right here

New Trash Talk song/video.

Starring that motherfucker with dreads that’s at every hardcore show I’ve been to almost ever.

Seriously, this dude is even in a bunch of videos on youtube of hardcore bands. Specifically, he’s in the video of Trash Talk at Rasputin’s in Berkeley. He’s in the video of the No Flag show in Macarthur Park.

There are more, but I won’t bother listing ‘em.

Anyways, new Trash Talk. They’ve got a new EP coming out in November. Good shit. Somebody I know once got fired from Hot Topic for saying “every faggot who thinks he knows hardcore listens to three bands. Trash Talk, Ceremony, and Have Heart”. That doesn’t have a whole lot to do with anything, but I just think it’s funny.
