Lil’ Cassidy Nguyen disappeared one day. No calls. No emails. Our friends talked about it incessantly. “Incessantly” is a strong word, a word that leans toward exaggeration, but incessantly is the best way to explain it. Cassidy’s brother Duong filed a missing person’s report three days after she vanished. He called the cops. None of MORE…
Death Eyes lost its vocalist Alberto Jurado last year and in turn the world lost a force of nature, a magnetic gem of hardcore punk, and a true-blue rock ‘n’ roll animal. Two years prior to Alberto’s passing, the band released their Si La Revancha Fuera Una Opción EP on Three One G, five brief MORE…

There’s something special about a discography release. All the gems in one bag. Everything you want in a single place, ready when you are, generous to the hilt because everything truly is everything. I have a book of everything Shakespeare wrote. It’s about six inches thick and weighs somethin’ like 15 fucking pounds. You can MORE…
Sitting at our table at Rancho’s waiting for our food, Lil’ Cassidy tells me about the time she did coke with a former mayor of San Diego. She says it was last summer at a mansion on the cliff overlooking Black’s Beach, and she only went because she knew a girl who was going and MORE…
In the months following the Second World War, high-ranking Nazi war criminals were ferreted off to South America by way of “rat lines,” elaborate escape systems, often funded (and encouraged) by the Catholic Church. Adolf Eichmann to Argentina. Mengele to Brazil. I have researched this and have found no record of a post-war Nazi presence MORE…
Jaks was a howling force of nature, a shriek from the Beast, a mouthful of blood spat in your face. The songs on their anthology CD, Here Lies the Body of Jaks, are a kind of gothic prog nightmare with guitar riffs diverging in more directions than a game of Scrabble, as the drums and MORE…
Our lives are made up of moments where you might’ve died. If you think about it too much it’ll overwhelm you. Or maybe not. Maybe you’ll feel lucky because through some narrow twist of fate you stepped aside when you might’ve stood still. You got on the right bus instead of the one that went MORE…

The Festival of Dead Deer’s only LP scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it. It is a menacing record, ominous, and I’d been awake for a very long time. I was living dumb, punk-romantic, and broke-as-fuck in Portland, having left San Diego at the beginning of the year. Two months MORE…
