True North, Strong & Free! No.3

Random Thoughts straight from a Friendly Canadian’s Punk Rock Journal.
Growing up, I had this Uncle whom everybody loved.  He was the life of the party 24/7.  There was always a smile on his face and he was always a great conversationalist.  I firmly believe that the best quality he possessed was giving people crazy…

True North, Strong & Free! No.2

Random Thoughts straight from a Friendly Canadian’s Punk Rock Journal.
Everybody has that one significant year in their life.  To each of their own,  the events of that year (whatever they may be) have greatly influenced their outlook on the world around them.  Well friends, 2009 was my year and let me tell you why.
Besides my…

The only constant is change

As you, the loyal readers of Distorted know, things have been fairly all over the place for a good few months now. We opted to bring you a more traditional website instead of the digital magazine that we put out on a monthly basis. Now comes possibly the biggest change in the history of Distorted…

Death To Trad Rock

God knows why but I write books.
It really heard work. Like doing your homework forever. A year of intense Macbook bashing. A year of transcribing. A year of editing. But when you finish it’s a great feeling. When the first box of books arrives in the post its quite special.
For some reason this year I’ve…

Punk will never die, it evolves, much like Distorted

Punk will never die, it evolves, much like Distorted

Not sure where to start with this announcement but I’m guessing the beginning is always the best place. As a valued reader of Distorted I am sure you’ve noticed how things have slowly been unravelling at the seams… The last few months have been incredibly tough on all of us here at Distorted and despite…

Buddy can you spare a dime!

Fat cats lick their lips as the shops get boarded up…these are the end of times, the dying days of empire with all the filth and greed you would expect as the battle rages for the last few dollars to be squeezed from the corpse of rock n roll.
The reaction to these dog days varies;…

    • NEW ALBUMAugust 20, 2009

      Dun2Def have just released their third studio album to much critical aclaim and continue to attract new admirers of their new/old school sound and will be visiting Athens in October to play a one off show with the Partisans on the back of their now legendary performance at the Rebellion festival where they attracted an audience of over 600 as the first band up on the last day of the festival no small achievement!!

    • Late review of The Rabble @ Rebellion 09August 19, 2009

      At Rebellion this year the Olympia stage suffered from persistent sound problems. Indeed these went a long way to ruining the experience of bands such as The Damned, The Lurkers and Voodoo Glow Skulls. Yet despite this, The Rabble put on a brilliant show; the words and the music being audible throughout the room and they attracted a huge crowd even though the legendary UK Subs performing at the same time. Not really having had much exposure to this band prior to the festival, I came away wanting to hear more and hoped they would play Rebellion again next year or at least do another UK tour soon. My only complaint about it all would be the number of mohicans blocking my view. To sum up, The Rabble are a band who put on a solid live performance and if you have the oppurtunity are most definately worth seeing live.
