Negative Approach

Penitentiary School: EYEHATEGOD, Negative Approach, and Sheer Terror at Teragram

You might be asking me how much Eyehategod or Negative Approach coverage is enough and even I sometimes think I’ve seen these bands a few too many times but then, upon hearing those songs kick me in the chest with full force punk attitude, I realize that real life is so monotonous, I could and should only have more of these bands’ music in my life. You can never have enough great music. related content: 1Fest-Los Angeles At Los Globos: Noise As Music As Force Is Farce This show was special though, it wasn’t the headliners that made it a must-see for me but rather The Accused AD and Sheer Terror, who don’t play in Los Angeles all that often. In fact, as Sheer Terror singer Paul Bearer noted, this show was their first in Los Angeles proper, having always been booked on the outskirts previously. Beginning with The Accused AD, this Seattle crossover band proved why they were one of the most influential bands of their era in a relatively short but slobber knocker of a set. Blaine Cook, aka The Wizard, was bouncing off the walls the entire set as the riffs, bass, and drums belted out with

Taking out the Trash: Municipal Waste at the Teragram Ballroom

Thrash has always been the subgenre of heavy metal to inspire the most partying, whether that takes the form of drinking, moshing, or crowd surfing, the marriage of punk and metal created a way to have fun that was unparalleled by any other kind of music. The greatest practitioners of this way of life are a little band known as Municipal Waste. With lyrics that almost parody heavy metal’s classically gory tropes in songs like “Headbanger Face Rip” or “Terror Shark”, this band was able tickling your funny bone just as much as it was bashing your face in. Headlining one of the best metal tours of the year, Municipal Waste brought Napalm Death, Sick of it All, and Take Offense along for the ride with two pit stops at the end of the tour at the Teragram Ballroom. The sound system is so pristine at the Teragram that heavy metal audiences are driven to new plateaus of insanity that they never knew existed, seeing as they’ve never heard a live band sound so crisp and clean. First up to bat were Crossover kings Take Offense, who as always give off the perfect hardcore bounce while satiating every punk and

Napalm Death

Take This: Win Two Tickets to Municipal Waste and Napalm Death at Teragram ~ 10/24

Holy shit, can you believe this show is happening? Can you believe it’s happening twice. Of course you can, it was so in demand that they couldn’t just sell the house out at Teragram for one single evening. This lineup is so insane it had to be repeated for the metalheads in Los Angeles. For that same reason, we have to give away tickets to Municipal Waste and Napalm Death at the Teragram Ballroom. I’m a huge fan of Napalm Death but I don’t mind seeing them open for Municipal Waste because I know the kinds of pits that band conjures up. This one is going to be a thrash fest, murder in the front row.   YOU CAN BUY TICKETS HERE OR: ENTER TO WIN 2 TICKETS TO MUNICIPAL WASTE AND NAPALM DEATH OCTOBER 24TH AT TERAGRAM Step 1- Join Our Newsletter (look for pop up every time you arrive at jankysmooth.com) Step 2 – Tag a Friend in the comment section of our INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, or FACEBOOK Municipal Waste Ticket Giveaway Post WINNER WILL BE SELECTED ON OCTOBER 21ST AT 11AM PST VIA EMAIL CONFIRMATION

The Murder City Devils

Subtle Like A T-Rex: The Murder City Devils in So-Cal

Almost every time I have seen The Murder City Devils in the past, it has been with some indie or experimental band opening that is not even close to the same vibe as theirs. On one hand, they are opening up their fans to a broader perspective of music they enjoy. On the other hand, many of their supporting bands, in my opinion, have missed the mark in building up the energy before the headlining set. Those who were fortunate enough to make it to Vegas this year for Punk Rock Bowling had the chance to see MCD with fully punk line-up including Le Butcherettes and The Flytraps. While I was sad I couldn’t make it for such a glorious event, I was please to find that punk/indie alumni, The Intelligence, would be joining them for their 2 night stint in Southern California. The mic-deep throating started at The Observatory in Santa Ana the first night and the insanity continued at The Teragram Ballroom in DLTA the following evening.  As much as I enjoyed the presence and energy, I wouldn’t be reporting accurately if I didn’t mention that the sound mix was off during MCD’s sets both nights. Spencer’s vocals were
