Big D and the Kids Table
Big D and the Kids Table frontman David McWane has said, “There are people who want to be in a band and then there are musicians.” However once in while a group come along who decide to make music simply because they have no other choice—and those are the acts who tend to stick around. For the past fourteen years Big D And The Kids Table have proven that regardless of fame or poverty they will forever be addicted musicians—and their latest full-length Fluent In Stroll is the apex of their decade-and-a-half long career.[slider title="Read More..."]

Fake Problems
Growing up is never easy, but when you’re in a band it often seems impossible. Make the same record twice and you’re chastised for being repetitive, but if you make too large of a sonic shift your fan base will desert you. Luckily Naples, Florida’s Fake Problems have never had to deal with this dilemma because with each release they’ve not only organically reinvented their sound, they’ve also successfully redefined who they are as musicians and human beings in the process. The culmination of this is the band’s SideOneDummy debut It’s Great To Be Alive, which shows Fake Problems’ unique ...
Jesse Malin and The St. Marks Social
After three critically acclaimed solo records, dozens of world tours and TV appearances, Jesse Malin found himself back in New York City questioning his next move. From his days fronting seminal hardcore trio Heart Attack and infamous glam punks D Generation, then seven years on the road as a solo artist, Malin had cultivated a devout fan base. He’d shared stages with everyone from The White Stripes to Counting Crows, The Hold Steady to Lucinda Williams, but felt like he was losing the plot.[slider title="Read More..."]

Gogol Bordello
“With SUPER TARANTA! Gogol Bordello is going to conquer the world,” boasts Eugene Hutz, Gogol bandleader and agent provocateur. “Everything on the album is taken to the next level. It’s more direct, more abstract, more focused, with more dark humor. The dub parts are deeper; the fast parts are faster, its pure orgasmo hysteria.”[slider title="Read More..."]
Gogol Bordello chose producer Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey) to help them bring their extreme vision to vibrant life. “Victor has been a fan since the beginning of the band and we often spoke about making an album together. He’s not afraid to ...
Dusty Rhodes and the River Band

In stores May 19, 2009 on SideOneDummy Records, Palace and Stage, is the band’s sophomore album, bringing with it a new batch of adventures, characters, sing-a-longs and stories.

Chuck Ragan
For most of us the phrase Gold Country evokes memories of the 49ers who flocked to California by boat and covered wagon in order to seek fortune for themselves and their families. Chuck Ragan’s latest disc may be coming out a few lifetimes after the gold rush of the mid-nineteenth century, however there’s a timeless quality to the album that embodies the hope and hard work that helped define that period in the American consciousness. That has a lot to do with the fact that there’s nothing preconceived about Gold Country. It’s simply the sound of a talented songwriter doing ...
Anti-Flag
The seventh full-length Anti-Flag release (and first on Side One Dummy) starts off fast and furious with “Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C. (Sheep in Shepherd’s Clothing)” as Chris #2 takes aim at those who use the Bible to control the masses, spitting out the lyrics with an urgency that makes his voice crack. If the album’s second track, “The Economy is Suffering…Let It Die,” isn’t nearly as reckless, it’s just as impassioned, recalling the more melodic moments on those first two albums by The Clash, as Justin Sane weighs in on the government bailouts of 2008, asking “Where are all the ...
Flogging Molly
What makes a band truly remarkable? Insightful lyrics? Memorable melodies? Blow-your-mind live performances? The truth is that it takes all of those things along with a boundless enthusiasm, an infectious energy and a supreme devotion to the fans. With this rare combination, a band may ascend past ‘good,’ or even the record industry’s Holy Grail, ‘marketable’ and reach sublime. Drawing on the hardships and joys of their own lives and a musical history ranging from old world Celtic to modern day punk rock, the seven members of Flogging Molly do just that, and they do it with a charm ...
Bedouin Soundclash
Named after Israeli fusion artist/producer Badawi’s 1996 release ? which pays homage to nomadic Arabic poet tribe the Bedouins ? power trio Bedouin Soundclash formed in 2001 at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Unlike most musicians who try to mimic their musical idols, Bedouin Soundclash forges their own musical path creating music embodying each member’s personal and diverse musical preferences. With a seductive combination of lead singer Jay Malinowski’s soulful wail and hypnotic rhythmic guitar grooves, Eon Sinclair’s deep dubbing bass, and Pat Pengelly’s driving rhythms, Bedouin Soundclash creates its own innovative fusion of Reggae, Rock, Punk and Soul.

7 Seconds
When he first started out Kevin Seconds spewed the immortal line, ?I?m gonna stay young until I die.? And two decades later, he?s still practicing what he preaches, as evidenced by Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over the bands upcoming SIDEONEDUMMY release due out in January 25, 2005, the audaciously titled 13th long-player by his legendary punk band, 7Seconds a band considered by many that came after as pioneers in the movement.[slider title="Read More..."]
Perhaps no modern-day rock record so eloquently, aggressively, and unapologetically tackles the topic of growing up and growing older as does Take It Back, ...
Broadway Calls
Before punk rock became a multi-million dollar business, kids started bands for the sole purpose of expressing themselves and not as a way of attaining wealth and fame. It’s a sentiment that almost seems outdated in today’s commerce-driven music scene, but Broadway Calls have resurrected that bygone era’s vitality and enthusiasm on their new disc Good Views, Bad News. “We’ve always just written songs that we wanted to hear – and that’s definitely true with Good Views, Bad News,” explains frontman Ty Vaughn, who lists classic punk acts like the Ramones and the Buzzcocks, as well as more modern punk ...
The Gaslight Anthem
The Gaslight Anthem have been a band for three-and-a-half years now and in that short amount of time they've become one of rock music's most celebrated acts, spurring a cultish fan base with their original and heartfelt soul-inflected punk. The band recently completed a highly successful headlining tour with sold out shows across North America, including Webster Hall in New York, the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver BC, the Trocadero in Philadelphia, the Bottom Lounge in Chicago and two nights at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Their dynamic live show has gained further attention following standout performances at this ...
Nathen Maxwell
There comes a time in his life when each and every man needs to express himself, and for Nathen Maxwell that time has come. For the past thirteen years Maxwell has been leaving his heart on stage as the bassist for the seminal Celtic rock band Flogging Molly, one of the biggest touring punk acts in the world. An accomplished songwriter in his own right, Maxwell has contributed songs to Flogging Molly albums in years past, but things progressed differently when the band went into the studio to record Float, their most recent release. “I played these songs for the ...
The Briggs
The perennial road warriors of punk rock, The Briggs, have spent the last six years on the road with little respite. This doesn’t really bother them though. Considering the momentum the band has gained in the last few years, they welcome it. And though, the ride hasn’t been the easiest, The Briggs are ready to break out with their most honest and compelling album to date, Come All You Madmen. [slider title="Read More..."]

Bio:
With seven albums under their collective belt and countless tours across the U.S. and Europe,−South America, Japan and Mexico−it would seem hardcore punk stalwarts The Casualties have done it all. But one shouldn’t be so quick to assume anything with these guys who still have much more to bring to the punk-rock scene.[slider title="Read More..."]
To wit, their latest album, We Are All We Have, though full of their signature bracing, high-octane hardcore punk, also features a few surprises. As drummer Meggers testifies, “[It’s] definitely our most ...
