One of L.A.'s great hidden secrets in the early '80s was los Olvidados, a skatepunk outfit that never really fit into the local scene, roaring out of San Jose with a sneering venom that was more in tune with their New York contemporaries. Never quite adapting to the savage California hardcore scene, los Olvidados disbanded by 1983, but in the band's wake lie some excellent recordings that have luckily been collected by Alternative Tentacles as Listen to This. The music was fast and mean, but the guitars suggested a rock influence that extended beyond the basic punk formula. "Goin' Down" is a brooding dirge that could have easily come out of the Stooges' canon, while "So Dull" has the guitar-drenched attitude of a great Heartbreakers song. Toward the end of its career, the band did add hardcore touches to its material, resulting in discordant and moody thrashers like "Pay Salvation." But no matter what los Olvidados were attempting, the songwriting was consistently great, leaving behind a strong (if brief) catalog. The band may not be as recognizable as X or the Minutemen, but Listen to This is a snide and angry collection that should appeal to fans of classic punk rock. ~ Bradley Torreano

Long before Slipknot went platinum and the X-Games became a nationally broadcasted sporting event, Drunk Injuns wore scary Native American garb and masks while helping pioneer skate rock, a genre that came about in the early '80s that combined punk rock's nihilism with the skater ethos. Despite doing ...

Starting with the awesome "I Don't Need Society" and ending with the anthemic "Explorer," D.R.I.'s debut album was an important stepping stone in the evolution of both metal and hardcore. D.R.I. drew a line in the sand between the American hardcore bands who wanted to stick close to the original punk sound and bands who wanted to branch out into heavy metal territory. D.R.I.'s ...

THE UNKNOWN Currrent lineup 2006Ken Blaze- VocalsWayne Roscoe - DrumsBrian P. McCafferty - BassPete Woodward - GuitarBy Matt Damn Kuchna The Unknown must be familiar to you by now, as the group has been producing its ultra-adrenalized, fun-packed, rainy-summer's-night thoughtful (s)punky powerPOP! for the last 17 years.It did take them a while to get there, however. The Unknown began way back in 1989 -yeah, that's right, cheesedick, when Op IV was still a band and not a suburban legend, or when Green Day was only 39 smooth years old - and, despite circumstances, immediately established a reputation for creating quality original angst-ridden music. In their defense, I will say hey, man, this was back when Metallica lauded Faith No More and still played metal, "classic rock" still ruled the airwaves, and all the kids wore black.The Unknown soon outstripped their original limitations and rose head-and-shoulders above the pack. Strangely, few people paid any attention to their riveting pogo-perfect la-la punk. But then again, hardly anyone wore wallet chains back then either; the vanguard is often ignored by the dullard masses. Stalwart vocalist Ken Blaze was now ably abetted by the insane firecracker drum sound of Wayne Roscoe; the corps was rounded out by the combination of Peter Ahn and Mike Vaughn. The Unknown grew stronger, garnered some critical praise from publications as diverse as Cleveland's Scene, Jim Testa's Jersey Beat and Maximum Rock N' Roll, and eventually embarked on a summer tour ('93) in support of their hellzapoppin' full-length debut "Change."Immediately after this successful trailblazing, with the new "Seems So Real" 7" in hand, the band almost broke up. Okay, they sorta broke up. Okay, Ken and Wayne were now joined by guitar hero Chris Roscoe, and, with Chris doubling on bass a` la Greg Ginn, they recorded a stunning testimonial of their staying power, the "On Our Own" 7". After yet more endless gigging and rehearsing in the Roscoe Rock Hall, ...
