Rollins Band was an American rock group led by singer and songwriter Henry Rollins.

They are best-known for the songs “Low Self Opinion” and “Liar”, which both earned heavy airplay on MTV in the early 1990s. Critic Steve Huey describes their music as “uncompromising, intense, cathartic fusions of hard rock, funk, post-punk noise, and jazz experimentalism, with Rollins shouting angry, biting self-examinations and accusations over the grind.”

The Dead Milkmen is a satirical punk band formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band initially consisted of Joe Genaro (”Joe Jack Talcum”; guitar, vocals), Dave Schulthise (”Dave Blood”; bass), Dean Sabatino (”Dean Clean”; drums), and Rodney Linderman (”Rodney Anonymous”; vocals, synth).

In 1988 came Beelzebubba, which featured what would become the Dead Milkmen’s biggest commercial hit and best-known song, “Punk Rock Girl.” The song’s video won rotation on MTV, and was later featured on MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head show. This album was somewhat more sophisticated, technically and musically, than previous work and featured two music videos, “Punk Rock Girl” and “Smokin’ Banana Peels”. Following in this vein is 1990’s Metaphysical Graffiti, which was even more technical than the last album, but didn’t receive the same attention as Beezlebubba did. The album featured the song “Methodist Coloring Book”; the song and its music video received little rotation.

Up to this point, the band had been recording for Enigma Records and its subsidiary Restless Records. They signed with Hollywood Records, owned by Disney. Their next two albums, Soul Rotation (1992) and Not Richard, But Dick (1993), saw the further polishing of their production. However, many fans felt the band had lost its humor and vitality in an attempt to be more mainstream.

The God Awfuls are a punk rock/street punk band from Los Angeles and are currently signed to Kung-Fu Records.

The God Awfuls emerged out of a rather desolate and uncultured section of Los Angeles, a potential influence in their style choice.

Floating around between high school bands, singer/guitarist Kevin De Franco and bassist Kyle Lumsden eventually crossed paths and formed the base of The God Awfuls. A few random band members passed through before the groundwork solidified with guitarist Chris La Fave and drummer John Skelly. Luckily, the popularity of punk in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. The God Awfuls’ songs are typical punk rock, but they have considerably catchy choruses.[1] The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to “true” punks, due to attitudes towards “fake punk” all over the place.

Their debut album, Next Stop Armageddon and one such song, Watch It Fall, is featured on the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. It was produced by The Greedy Bros. (a.k.a. Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves and engineering partner-in-crime Brad Cook). The God Awfuls took a hiatus until about 2007/2008 when they were featured in the documentary “Punks Not Dead”. In July of 2008, The God Awfuls released 3 new songs on a demo.

On October 28, 2008, The God Awfuls announced on their MySpace page they would be changing their name to Brand New War.

REM mark the point when post-punk turned into alternative rock. When their first single, “Radio Free Europe,” was released in 1981, it sparked a back-to-the-garage movement in the American underground. While there were a number of hardcore and punk bands in the US during the early ’80s, REM brought guitar pop back into the underground lexicon. Combining ringing guitar hooks with mumbled, cryptic lyrics and a DIY aesthetic borrowed from post-punk, the band simultaneously sounded traditional …

Greg Ginn of Black Flag and SST Records produced the Minutemen’s first 7″ EP, Paranoid Time, which solidified their eclectic style. Like most Punk bands at the time, the band sold the EP at their shows, and at a few local record stores. It became a minor hit with the hardcore scene. By their first LP—1981s The Punch Line—they had found their voice and began touring nonstop around the country. They released their second EP and third overall release entitled Bean-Spill. By this time they were becoming one of the more popular bands in the underground scene around the country.
