OC did it all for the Nookie: Musink Tattoo Convention & Music Fest 2019

At the beginning of the year, I foresaw the resurgence of nu metal. Long dismissed and derided as one of the most cringe-worthy, toxic, and talentless genres of all time, it would turn out the place it held in the hearts of elder millennials never faded away as they grew up. Bands like Korn, Slipknot, and Deftones have maintained a place at the top of the mountain as bands that can always draw big crowds but Limp Bizkit still seems like an outsider among them even though back in the day, they were arguably the biggest of those bands. Musink 2019 would blow the flood gates open and give nu metal the retribution people were silently begging for. Limp Bizkit would headline Day 2 and signal to all the haters that the Bizkit is back. That same week, LB announced a surprise show at the Troubadour for only 3 dollars. Those that were in attendance know Limp Bizkit put on what was without question, love them or hate them, a legendary performance. Featuring covers of the Who, Nirvana, and Journey with guests such a Billy Corgan, Marilyn Manson, and Machine Gun Kelly, the show was so raucous one fan even jumped from

Holy shit… Oh, man… we got two tickets to Musink Music Festival & Tattoo Convention to giveaway… So stoked. Who will be the lucky winner to see Limp Bizkit for free??? It’s killing me just thinking about it. I’m dying from the anticipation. The nookie is not the only reason for attending this festival though. On night 1 we get a slew of hardcore bands playing from Bleeding Through, to Sick of it All, Hatebreed, and closing out with Suicidal Tendencies, the crossover band of our time. Night 2 has LB headlining but all the bands supporting are sure to have killer sets like Travis Barker, Ho99o9, and special guests which I can only guess will be filled with exciting surprises of the year. I have no idea who to expect and I love it. The final day closes with punk from start to finish. I can’t wait to see Flag and the Dead Kennedys, I’m over the Jello elitism. TSOL will be amazing too especially if they play anything off Change Today. YOU CAN BUY TICKETS HERE OR ENTER TO WIN 2 TICKETS TO MUSINK FESTIVAL MARCH 8TH, 9TH, AND 10TH AT OC FAIR AND EVENTS CENTER Step 1- Join Our

Riot Fest 2018: The Riot Still Rages

September 22, 2018
Words and Photos by: Meghan Breedlove This past weekend in Chicago, Riot Fest 2018 wrapped up their 13th year and Janky Smooth was there to capture some of the scenes from the weekend. Even though Riot Fest shared some devastating news regarding Blink 182’s cancellation (due to health issues) a few short days before the festival, Riot Fest was able to recover quickly by booking Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, and Run the Jewels. related content: How Riot Fest Chicago 2016 Survived The Misfits Subpar Performance Even with Blink 182’s absence, there was no shortage of their songs, with multiple Blink 182 covers sung over the weekend to honor the band, with both Weezer and Young the Giant covering “All the Small Things”. The festival layout was somewhat cozy, with five stages of proximity, a freak show, a variety of carnival rides, and of course pretty much any fried food your heart desired. Overall, Riot Fest 2018 was a major success despite some last minute lineup changes, so here is a recap of my adventure in Chicago this past weekend. related content: Jawbreaker At Riot Fest: The Moment I Stopped Hating Pop Punk Day 1 I first arrived at the festival
