Album Review - Nails - Abandon All Life

Let's travel back in time to late 2010, the first time I'd ever heard Nails, and my reaction to such event on a message board: 

"Holy shit. It's like being hit by a train carrying 10 tons of awesome."

Three years later, that statement still stands. "Abandon All Life" is their new album, and it just crushes skulls.

EPISODE 90: HOCKEY ARE #@$%ING DEAD

Your move, St. Louis Blues.

This week we don our black veils, not in honor of the new Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings, but because the crushing melancholy of the off-season has officially crept upon us. Just kidding, this week we discuss what possible impact the original sunbelt franchise winning a Cup might have on hockey in California. Also, we discuss tinfoil hat-wearing fans, certain writers who love nothing more than to rain on hockey's parade, L.A. punk rock, AND America. No guest this week so it's just Peter and I rambling on.

Music Featured This Week:

(The Intro was) Coup D'etat by The Circle Jerks

New Dark Ages by Bad Religion

Devil's Dance Floor by Flogging Molly

Rise Above by Black Flag

I'm Not A Punk by Descendents
