‘In name of DIY, here’s an old video from 2001 of Long Island’s Latterman. This is the first incarnation of the band with drummer Bryce Hackford and Dan Sposato on guitar. This band has generated a lot of lesser than (<) , greater than (>) sign talk with their hydra like ability to form great bands.
This video is from the Walklor Productions’ Between Resistance & Community: The Long Island Do-it-yourself Punk Scene.
Episode Three, the latest, as we’re catching up with a triple header tonight, has an amazing interview with Adam from Murder By Death after a healthy review of Able Baker Fox’s vinyl. Also, some specifics of how to manually modify your imperfect vinyl. Enjoy!
Episode Two from Viny Vlog features reviews and interviews a plenty. Namely, our good friends and local heroes Young Livers talking about their new 7″ releases. And of course some timeless Wayne’s World nods…and don’t ask me about the Central Junior High talent show…it was 1991, we threw it together the night before over stolen warm beers from my folks…and to one person out there specifically, quit threatening YouTube and post it all ready. Also check out their pre-Fest rundown including tips on how to carry your vinyl around without fucking it up.
We made many new friends at Fest this year, but it’s kinda hard not to. The week of Fest, we had some crew cancel and we were scrambling to find some replacements. I had just found this cool new video blog called Vinyl Vlog and contacted these guys Josh and Ken to see if they’d like to help us film. They absolutely saved our asses and we’ve inducted them into the NU Family. Just to get you caught up, here’s the first episode from our brothers in arms at Vinyl Vlog featuring a very nice interview from Chuck Ragan. All you fellow Record Nerds out there are gonna love this shit!

In preparation for Gainesville’s Favorite Holiday, we wanted to get our users more involved in what we love to do here at National Underground. It was decided a contest to vie for an opportunity to interview Brendan Kelly would only be appropriate, over beers of course. We asked users to come up with interesting questions, and the Bad Sandwich himself would pick the winner.
18-year-old Kyle Krische had the opportunity to ask Brendan about fatherhood, touring, the writing process, and the secret behind the liner notes of The Greatest Story Every Told. Enjoy!
So after years of not really touring anymore, Avail will just show up and destroy the place. While not technically proficient at times, not many shows this big turn out to be this amazing. And if you’re wondering, yes, this is the set that Beau jumps off the Front of House cabinets (about 15 feet) out into the crowd.
All-Stars of the Chicago punk scene, The Lawrence Arms have more than a decade of history touring and playing their signature blend of pop-drunk-punk. After many years of playing The FEST, at FEST 6 they graced the main stage with their presence and the set was what you’d come to expect from “da larin sharms”.
The Bay Area’s American Steel originally formed in 1995. After six years of touring and releases to what at the time they considered little fanfare, the band moved into a different sound and felt the band needed a different name. In 2002, with their new moniker, Communiqué, the band gave it another go with a decidedly different sound and feel. After four years, they gave this too a rest. In the meantime, American Steel had become legendary. In 2007, they reunited as American Steel, signed to Fat Wreck Chords and went back at it. They toured down with The Lawrence Arms to FEST 6 and played to one of the biggest crowds they had to date.
Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, Off With Their Heads made their mark early with their debut EP Hospitals in 2006. Playing their first time at The FEST, and playing mainly cuts from Hospitals, this set is about as indicative of OWTH as you can get and made them somewhat legendary in the FEST community.
