After riffing its way around the country in March it was decided that waiting a full 12 months to do it again; was just too long.

November, 2013,
Hits & Pits Touring Mini-Fest is back! This time round its punk-as-fuck. It’s to the point, straight up, with a bunch of international bands and later released Australian talent.

Due to the pant-exploding calibre of the line-up the announcement has been split into two rounds but we can tell you that Boysetsfire, No Fun At All, Jugheads Revenge and Off With Their Heads will be joining the party.

Boysetsfire. Enough Said.
Though, if 100 words about this band from Newark is what you must read then you can have it. Boysetsfire made a name for themselves in the early 1990s and their particular brand of post-hardcore has been grabbing the ears of young and old ever since. The band may have taken some time off to pursue other exploits but they are just as furious and face-melting as ever. “While A Nation Sleeps” is slated for a June 11th release through Bridge 9 Records and if the album trailer is anything to go by, there will be no disappointment here.

Sure, they said last time was the ‘last time’, but their love for pristine beaches, sunshine and an average temperature in the double digits meant that Sweden’s No Fun At All would be back to Australia in our lifetimes. They made their own slice of punk rock heaven in Sweden and have been sharing it with the world since 1991, and kicking on (one last time) in 2013.

Since we’re talking about the 1990s let’s take it right back there to a band making their first trip to Australia, Jugheads Revenge. No lawsuit can keep a good punk rock band down and after almost a decade of time off the band is back, with a back catalogue of favourite’s and plans to release a stint of 7 inch records in 2013. They are keeping it fast. They are keeping us stoked. They are (finally) coming to Australia!

Last, but nowhere near least, are Minnesota’s own Off With Their Heads. A band not known to follow the norm; their rotating roster aims to keep the band, and music, as fresh as possible. The band’s third full-length “Home” has received rave reviews since its release on Epitaph Records earlier in the year and the band are eager to get back to Australia in their latest form and bringing angry, honest, vicious and weighted punk rock with them.

RIP Chi.

It’s with the most intense sadness that I share with you the passing of Deftones Bassist Chi Cheng. Chi had been in a semi-conscious state since a near fatal car accident in November 2008, since then Chi was being cared for by his family and closest friends though on Saturday morning his heart finally gave out on the way to the emergency room, doctors tried to revive him but it just wasn’t enough.

Chi’s extensive medical expenses had been generously paid for thanks to the “oneloveforchi” initiative which raised thousands of dollars for his ongoing care after his health fund refused to pay for his medical care. This initiative allowed Chi a quality of care that was required for his ongoing treatment, though like server brain injuries of this kind it’s sadly only a matter of time.

The following message was posted by his family today for Chi’s family, friends and fans.

“To our dearest family,

This is the hardest thing to write to you. Your love and heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing. I know that you will always remember him as a giant of a man on stage with a heart for every one of you. He was taken to the emergency room and at 3 am today his heart just suddenly stopped. He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear.

He fought the good fight. You stood by him sending love daily. He knew that he was very loved and never alone. I will write more later. I will be going through the oneloveforchi and any other information may not be reliable. If you have any stories or messages to share please send them to the onelove site. Please hold Mae and Ming and the siblings and especially Chi’s son, Gabriel in your prayers. It is so hard to let go.

With great love and “Much Respect!” Mom J (and Chi)”

Like so many Deftones fans we all seen Chi on stage, his dominating, throbbingly powerful bass lines would echo venues and stadiums but what you might not know is the man himself, speaking from my own experiences with Chi, he was loved by EVERYONE he ever met in the music industry, he is just one of those special few people that never demanded respect, he just got it for the person he was through his huge heart and respect he showed everyone, it didn’t matter if you were a musician or a fan, he always looked forward to meeting people, never was it for “publicity or something he was made to do” he wanted to do it, he was a true gentleman and even though I haven’t seen Chi for many years due to his injuries I will miss him greatly, this is a very sad day, I’m glad he doesn’t have to fight anymore and I know he is in a better place.

Via con dios!

Good Riddance Interview (Hits and Pits Festival 2013)

Interviewed by: Shane Fenton
©2013 SoundStageReview InterMedia®™

After a 5 year break from the world of Good Riddance frontman Russ Rankin speaks to SoundStageReview about the world of touring, personal recollections, the state of the music industry the return of Good Riddance to the touring scene and other random shenanigans in the lead up to the first Australian Hits and Pits Festival starting in Sydney at the Roundhouse on the 23rd March. (it starts next week, just in case you are hiding under a rock)

ESSENTIAL INFO:

Name:

Russ Rankin

Band:

Good Riddance.

Job In Band:

Vocals

Website Address:

http://grpunk.com/

Hometown:

Santa Cruz, California

Hometown is best known for, IF ANYTHING:

Surfing, skateboarding, Bl’ast!

THE BAND:

In the beginning, how did the band first come together?

We were just a local band playing parties and what not, doing punk cover songs and a couple of originals. Luke joined the band in the early 1990s and things sort of took off from there.

Since the return of Good Riddance (just over 12 months ago), what has been the most surprising aspect of reuniting after that five year gap?

How easy it has been to coalesce as a band again. Also (sadly) how relevant the lyrics still are all these years later.

What has been a personal stand out achievement of the band to date?

Being able to share the stage with so many amazing bands/people who we admire and who continually inspire us.

GOOD RIDDANCE vs. THE WORLD:

In your opinion, how do you feel technology has altered communications with Good Riddance fans and where do you see this constantly evolving social movement going in years to come?

I think that compared to many other bands we under-utilize the available technology. That being said we really aren’t out to reinvent ourselves or try to build (or rebuild) a fan base. We have a Facebook account and a website - that’s pretty much it.

What do you feel is the most significant difference between the 70’s/80’s Punk scene and now?

There are far more bands now, the genre is splintered and sub-categorized much more. Music fans are inundated with a lot more information. Also the degree to which the culture industry has co opted the music and lifestyle. In many ways the music (and surrounding scene) has become safer and consumer friendly.

OFF THE STAGE:

What was your first introduction to music that made you think seriously about playing it?

Someone played me “Chemical Warfare” by the Dead Kennedys, that was my moment where I decided this music was for me. Bad Religion was the band that made me want to play my own music.

Any particular band/album or song that you personally credit as a major influence?

Dead Kennedys “Plastic Surgery Disasters,” Bad Religion “Suffer” and the self-titled Adolescents album.

Most prized music related item you own?

Probably the couple of rare t shirts from old straight edge bands I’m still holding onto.

When you’re not doing band related stuff, what are you usually found doing?

I work pretty much full time. I surf. I play hockey. I also released a solo album this past year and so I’m playing a lot of solo shows. I also have another band called Only Crime which is periodically busy. I scout for a hockey team as well.

The thing you most look forward to just before a tour is…

Getting to travel, see other places; maybe see old friends I don’t get to see much.

What do you find is the hardest aspect of touring in a band today?

There’s too many bands competing for your attention. Trying to find ways to convince people to attend your show rather than the three other ones happening in town that night.

The thing you least look forward to before a tour is…

Missing my girlfriend.

ON THE STAGE:

When on offer, what’s your one must have item on the rider?

Water.

Favourite place you’ve toured… and why?

Australia - so similar to where we live in some ways and yet vastly different. People are awesome, cities are relatively clean and engaging.

Most memorable show you’ve played? and why?

Hard to say. Our final show in 2007 was pretty heavy, very emotional.

Favourite song to play live?

Libertine or Mother Superior.

Any embarrassing on stage moments come to mind?

Forgetting lyrics, not being able to find my microphone.

Any pre-show rituals?

Stretch, warm up, jump around. Usually singing songs to get my voice ready.

RIGHT NOW

Last song you listened to?

“Turnpike Gates” by Lifetime

Last album you acquired?

The Bronx (IV)

Which band or album is currently on high rotation?

I keep my iPod on shuffle in my car. I love the new Bronx album, the new Swellers. The latest Billy Bragg.

Tell us an up and coming band or artist you think we should go and listen to right now?

The Swellers.

What’s on the cards for the next few months for the band?

Lots of shows in several different countries. Hopefully South America for the first time in November.

IF ONLY…

You can pick any one band / artist to cover one of your albums in full, what would it be, and why?

Lifetime. They were and are one of my favourite bands and I think they would put some interesting spins on our stuff.

One band you wish you were able to see live but never had the chance?

Minor Threat. Black Flag with Dez singing.

A headline tour overseas comes up, tell us two bands you’d take along to support your band.

The Swellers. Maybe Lifetime although I don’t think they should really “open.”

RANDOM SHENANIGANS:

If Good Riddance could go drinking for a night with anyone in history, who would it be with?

I don’t drink but for the sake of answering your question I’d say (for me) Shane MacGowan.

You hear a knock on the door, as you open the door standing there is duck, a miniature horse and actor Kevin Bacon holding a jar super crunchy peanut butter… what is your first thought?

I would ask Kevin Bacon about his experiences filming “A Few Good Men.”

You have been asked to include a Good Riddance song on a compilation of music sent to an alien race as an introduction to Earth culture, what song would you select to include?

“There’s No I In Team.”

Any final words for Aussie fans to contemplate?

Thanks for all the support!

My thanks to Russ for the great interview, catch Russ on stage with Good Riddance throughout the Hits and Pits Festival, grab tickets now before they are sold out, not many tickets left.

Catch Good Riddance along with Voodoo Glow Skulls, Mad Caddies, The Wilhelm Scream, The Flatliners, Diesel Boy, One Dollar Short, Totally Unicorn, Jen Buxton, Jamie Hay, Paper Arms and more…

Soundwave Feature Artist: THE CHARIOT

With the unbelievable array of artists performing at the 2013 Soundwave Festival being just 18 days away from the tour opening in Brisbane, leading up to this moment SoundStageReview will be highlighting some of the most exciting talent on this tour, some of you will know from their impeccable reputations and other you might not know too much about until now.

To start this Soundwave feature series off I only ever had one band in mind and that is The Chariot.

The Chariot are by far one of my top ten bands of the past decade and for very good reason, I had my first experience with The Chariot in 2011 and I remember leaving the show in a state of physical and mental bewilderment from the show I had witness, to explain their stage show in some manner, it was utter chaos from the first cord of the show when the band hurled themselves into the crowd to the final cheers 45mins later, they are precise as Mathcore get and with a stage show that rivals almost anyone (with only exception to The Dillinger Escape Plan, and only just) they are the secret weapon of the Soundwave Tour and a band I would not miss for anything.

I could go on for hours about my love for The Chariot though instead I think this will serve better to make a decision on whether The Chariot are worthy of your attention, please enjoy this set of The Chariot performing live in Moscow Russia now 8 months ago.

The Chariot: Live 2012. Moscow. Russia.

Blood On The Dance Floor Cancelled Soundwave Tour

Breaking News from Soundwave Touring, Blood On The Dance Floor cannot bake cookies oh… and they have cancelled their tour.

I would say this is tragic news but from the sounds of it Soundwave Punters are not that upset by the departure, even Soundwave mastermind AJ Maddah rejoiced at the news of their departure (not a good sign for future tours in Australia)

No reason to why the tour was cancelled and in all honesty who really cares anyway? All anyone knows is… it is, so if you were a fan, bad luck for you that they care more for cookies than fans, though if you were not, more stage time available for the other bands I guess!!!

I feel this is a win win for everyone!!!

ALL TIME LOW / POLAR BEAR CLUB / CHUCK! NO, CAPTAIN CHUCK! SIDEWAVES

ALL TIME LOW have succeeded where so many have failed; in bringing back the glory days of pop punk.

On the back of their Soundwave 2013 performances, ALL TIME LOW, will be performing two club shows only with very special guests Polar Bear Club and Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!

Since the release of their sophomore album ‘So Wrong, It’s Right’, the Baltimore pop punkers have been amassing a feverish fan base across the globe. Their new album ‘Don’t Panic’ is a culmination of everything they have created up until now and sees the boys raising the stakes even higher… “this is All Time Low at its very best”. – Absolute Punk

When POLAR BEAR CLUB last toured Australia they left an indelible mark on their fans, and everyone who witnessed their live show was left in awe.

POLAR BEAR CLUB’s latest album ‘Clash, Battle, Guilt, Pride’ is without doubt their defining moment. It’s a constantly churning and evolving opus that defies convention and “isn’t about a short buzz; it’s about subtle brilliance and continued momentum. Not only is this album great, it may well prove to be pivotal.” – Alter The Press

CHUNK! NO, CAPTAIN CHUNK! are the life of the party! Named after the ’80s classic adventure movie ‘The Goonies’ and with a sense of fun that sees them make their own rules musically. This French beatdown pop punk quintet is sure to bring a giant smile to your face with their rousing, anthemic and infectious debut album ‘Something For Nothing’. “Their blend of pop-punk and hardcore is raising eyebrows all over the world, and now they are set to take the world by storm.” – Absolute Punk
