Classics: Ann Beretta – Nobody’s Heroes
Richmond, Virginia has long been known as a city that working-class punks have called home and has been such a place for bands like Avail, Strike Anywhere, and Smoke Or Fire. Another great (and often overlooked) Richmond Band was Ann Beretta. I just dug out their self-released Nobody’s Heroes EP from a heap of CD’s (Read more…)
Can You See the Sunset Turns 2
It’s hard for me to believe that this past Sunday marked the 2nd birthday of this blog. Yeppers, Can You See the Sunset From the Southside is two.

Review: Bad Religion – New Maps Of Hell
That’s right, Bad Religion is back with another new album called new Maps Of Hell. Although it is Bad Religion’s fourteenth politically-charged full-length album the band shows no signs of slowing.

Uncle’s Primordial Soup (vol. 3)
Besides giving rise to punk and new-wave bands, the era of 1977-1987 also birthed the bands that formed the foundation of “alternative” rock like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Husker Du, and many more. There was so much innovation and change during this time period that just wasn’t accepted by the mainstream media of the day. (Read more…)
Uncle’s Primordial Soup (vol. 2)
The building that I work in plays almost exclusively what most people would call 80’s music.
