Listen here: WHITE MURDER INTERVIEW MP3 Raw power in all forms has the potential for abuse. Sexuality is powerful. Live, White Murder's sexuality fills the room as real as any body. Both genders. Hannah and Mary are the obvious ones, stalking the room, jumping around, pushing into and over one another, dancing, screaming, staring, and confronting as microphone cords snake behind. Reuben, Mike, and Paul—although more rooted in space—blast and sweat and steam and pound. This would be purely academic if White Murder were merely a show, if their music didn't back the juice and strut. Think blistering, unhinged O-fucking-hio-based anxiety punk—The Chargers Street Gang, This Moment In Black History, Pere Ubu, We March. Think Emma Goldman and Le Tigre where body ownership means that fucking's always a two-way street—that your body is your temple and it's your duty to not only defend it, but to call out those who don't respect it. Lastly, let's not forget that sexuality can often be fun, goofy, warm, considerate, and caring. It's one part of a much more complex system of what it is to be human regardless what's between your legs or on your chest. That's not a bad headspace to think about when a band starts playing or spins around on a record player. Here's to White Murder, a powerful L.A.-are band carrying on exciting dialogues, dripping with tension.

Been a minute, but I'm baaaaack. No real method to the madness today… some old, some new—I've tried to make some connection between the songs I played today. The main connection is that every track is a fucking jaaaaaam. -Tim Brooks To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

Tracklisting: Bill Hicks, “Just a Ride” Battle Ruins, “Regain and Conquer” (Rocknroll Disgrace) --- Giuda, “Wild Tiger Woman” (Fungo) Agony Bag, “Rabies Is a Killer” (Monza, 1980) Trainspotters, “High Rise” (Arista, 1979) Hoax, “This Is My Life” (Hollogramme, 1981) --- Ripcord, “Single Ticket to Hell” (Boss Tuneage) Frenzy, “SS Control” (Distort Reality) The Flex, “The Herd” (Milk Run) Die, “Life Is Hate” Fatigue, “Dog Bodies” (demo) Crown Court, “Trouble from London” --- Radioactivity, “What You Want” (Dirtnap) Video, “Red Pills” (Playing Pinball) NCM, “Ultimate Orgasm” (VVV, 1979) Terminal Mind, “I Wanna Die Young” (No) (1979) Inserts, “Doctors Wives” (Classified, 1980) --- Dust, “Suicide” (Karma Sutra, 1971) Bill Hicks – “Just a Ride” The most important standup comedian ever, in my opinion. Died prematurely at thirty-three in 1994. Everything this guy did still stands the test of time twenty years on. A comedic prophet. Battle Ruins – “Regain and Conquer” The Boston kids do it again. As good a skinhead record as ever made, up there with All Skrewed Up and Good The Bad & The 4-Skins. Good luck finding it. Giuda – “Wild Tiger Woman” Currently the soundtrack to our car rides to school. My daughter Lu loves this shit, as well as Chicago drill/trap hiphop, Madball, and the Old Firm Casuals. On-the-button glam rock with more hooks than a fisherman's tackle bag. I loved their earlier incarnation Taxi, too. Bless them Italians. Agony Bag – “Rabies Is a Killer” Never heard this ‘til this obscure New Wave Of British Heavy Metal comp came out a couple of years back. A lot of this stuff straddles the rock and punk camps equally. Taxi covered this. Jam. Ripcord – “Single Ticket to Hell” One of my all time favorite bands and one of the ones that shaped me as a youth. Started writing to Baz the guitarist (who later also played in Heresy) when I was fourteen, and not only was my head blown off by the early demos by Ripcord, he also sent me stuff like Mob 47 and Crude SS. Boss Tuneage has reissued everything by this band, and the most recent LP is all their early demos. I love this shit. Raw as fuck, fast as fuck, and crazy to think this was nearly thirty years ago. Frenzy – “SS Control” New Portland band who sound like an old English band. Sounds like the Chaos UK side of the Earslaughter split with Extreme Noise Terror. The Flex – “The Herd” New era of U.K. bands absolutely smashing it. The Flex play ugly hardcore not unlike SS Decontrol or DYS. Along with bands like Violent Reaction, they are bring the bootboy back to hardcore. They just toured and crushed the USA, too. Die – “Life Is Hate” A

Welcome to my eleventh podcast for Razorcake! Friends, man. Where the fuck would I be without them? I've been going to DIY punk shows ever since I ditched the Hollywood club scene in my late teens. Believe it or not, I actually got to see quite a few great bands at the most unremarkable venues tinsel town had to offer. Back then I was seriously hungry for live music and would go wherever the bands would play, even if it was a shitty bar or stupid night club. My eagerness to be a part of music even transcended the need for accompaniment. Several nights were spent on a bus, alone, beer in a brown bag, and appropriate return fair in pocket. It didn't matter to me that my friends didn't want to come along as long as I was there, but, to be honest, there were a couple of times when I wished I could look over and say to someone, “See? And you wanted to stay home.” This really isn't the case anymore. Working for Razorcake has created so many meaningful friendships that I've already come to expect seeing at least one smiling face at any given show. Hugs are given, beers and stories are shared, and a fantastic time is generally had. This one's for all the people who are awesome enough to call me “friend” back. –Juan To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

The icy, operatic wails, the female Euro-svartness vocals, I love this take on punk and wanted to put together a collection of some of my favorite bands that play this style. Hopefully giving some well deserved attention to the lesser known bands. Every now and then I find myself at a punk show where I'm reminded of how male dominated it can be. “Yep, I'm definitely not in Josh and Molly's garage right now,” I think to myself. “If only Kalishnikov were here.” Keep it interesting! -Daryl To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

I've been through some shit lately that has left me feeling low down and drained. So it seems fitting that I've been listening to a lot of the blues. While the style has a specific musical structure (which few of the artists on this podcast actually follow), lyrically it has often served as a means for the songwriter to release heartache of the relationship kind or that which is experienced from harsh daily living. And in that regard, more of the artists on this podcast actually are following in the blues tradition. Some of the bands here don't follow the blues style, lyrically or musically, they just have the word “Blues” in their song title (which is the unifying theme of the podcast). But they all express an emotion, whether it be sadness or anger. And those are two things I'm feeling right now. So join me in feeling the blues and I promise to only play upbeat, happy pop punk for the next podcast.

Hi there Razorcake podcast listeners! As I write this, I am currently anxiously awaiting maybe three or four record packages in the mail as well as a slew of great shows coming through town or nearby: Washington's Criminal Code tomorrow night at a house show only fifteen minutes from where I live, Burnouts en Baja Fest in Tijuana towards the end of the month, Sexdrome from Denmark playing their first and only show ever in the U.S., and the amazing Radioactivity from Texas, both coming in May. Not to mention already having caught Tragedy and Bümbkläätt in Tijuana (thanks Rene!), Bad Sports' short but sweet set in downtown Los Angeles a few nights ago and NYC's fiercest ladies La Misma a couple weeks ago on a work night (the right side of my ribs still kinda hurt…) What it all adds up to is the busiest first third of the year in music that I can remember in some time. April also marks the six year mark of my involvement with Razorcake which has been nothing but one rewarding experience after another, such as making new friends, near and abroad (shout outs to Tommy Vandervort!) as well as enjoying the benefits of being exposed to great new music through my stint as a reviewer which I am eternally grateful for. Life has been a lot more interesting and a little less sucky these past six years. Thanks for listening. -Juan P.S.

Two things seemed specifically important as I turned 30. 1) There must be a bounce house at my birthday party. 2) My band has to start covering a song from the first Clash record. Luckily, both tasks were pretty easy to pull off. But I asked myself, “Why is this important? Am I trying to convince myself and the people around me that I'm still young?” No! Fuck it, it's important because it's fun. Jump up and down, run in circles, metaphorically and literally. You're only gonna get older, so embrace it, both with open arms and a grain of salt. You can either live the rest of your life freaking out about how old you are, which is a losing fight. Or get up off your ass and make all your terrible, idiotic ideas a reality. Who knows, maybe one of them wont be a total disaster. I'm rooting for you. -Daryl To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

“You're bound to get idears if you go thinkin' about stuff.” –Steinbeck This podcast was recorded on Valentine's Day, which is a holiday that's more pointless than Easter. A good holiday is one that resurrects the past and inserts it into the present. Remembrance can be a revolutionary action. The resurrection of the history of the oppressed (or suppressed history) is the foundation of political progress. This is what should fill our calendars; not fucking plush teddy bears holding a plastic heart full of jelly beans. I'd like to elaborate on this and tie it in with music, but I have records that need listening to. Anyway, I'll say this: when I'm angry I like to listen to music. It allows me to wag my mind finger at strawmen. It's the aloe on the sunburn of existence. Jeez, I need to sleep. So, goodbye valentine, goodbye guilt, goodbye god, and goodbye Alaska. —Matthew To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

The final in my trilogy of podcasts dedicated to creatures in the natural world. In this episode, I'm focused on songs with animals in the track name. No bugs, no birds, just animals. Call it “other,” if you will, but these animals rule. I mean, who doesn't like dogs and cats? Or jackals? Or wolfenswans? Well, they're all here (and more!) in this podcast. –Kurt welcometoflavorcountry@gmail.com To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

What better way to ring in the Spring season than with a Top Ten of 2013 countdown so unbelievably long overdo it's a miracle Razorcake's even allowing it. So here we go! Are you curious what Mitch Clem's favorite albums of last year were but not curious enough to just go read him blog about it several months ago? Well yer in luck, buckaroo, because this very special installment of the Razorcake Musical Punk Rock Family Podcast features a selection of hits from that exact list, plus so much idiotic rambling between tracks that the episode doesn't even wind up running significantly shorter than normal despite featuring four fewer songs than normal! Now THAT'S what I call never shutting the hell up! Ruminations on the popularity of Beyonce, the official names of those labels in the center of a vinyl record, Mitch singing a lot more than normal, and copious shoutouts to Donna, our only fan, abound!
