Since forming in 2008, Torrance, California’s Joyce Manor have, like many of their peers in the contemporary punk scene, managed to achieve both organic, indie punk authenticity and broader critical recognition from outlets once too “cool” to cover anything that might be labeled pop punk or emo a decade ago (that “emo revival” is really just…

Review by Philip Obenschain (@pobenschain). Photos by Mary-Beth Blankenship. When The Wrecking Ball hosted its inaugural fest last year, no one, least of all the promoters, seemed to expect it to become an annual tradition; instead, it was a punk-centric celebration of 25 years of an Atlanta landmark, The Masquerade.

What started last year as a 25h anniversary celebration for famed Atlanta venue The Masquerade, this year’s second annual Wrecking Ball festival will serve a very different function: a de facto goodbye to the celebrated concert space in its current and original home (don’t worry, The Masq isn’t closing down for good, just relocating to a new location in West Midtown).…

Out in support of their fantastic third album, Holy Ghost, Philadelphia indie/emo/punks Modern Baseball return to Nashville tonight, May 25 to play Exit/In with like-minded buzzworthy rockers Joyce Manor and up and comers Thin Lips.

What started as a 25h anniversary celebration for Atlanta‘s famed venue The Masquerade and has seemingly morphed into a stacked, annual punk fest, The Wrecking Ball unveiled the lineup for its 2nd annual event last week, set to take place Aug. 13 and 14 (with a pre-party slated for Aug. 12). If Warped Tour is the quintessential teenage punk fest, think of…
