The Az. scene consists of few stable good bands, some good shows
pass through, though expensive, and not often enough. Their is
very little unity amongst the "punks" of the state. The
skins had a fairly good unified scene, but everything dies i guess. I have been through
watching people stab eachother in the back, turn their back on
their bros, and turning the scene of az. into a bullshit soap
opera. Nonetheless, their are a few bands keeping hope alive here
in the state of arizona, and their are a few kids that actually care about the scene and keeping the city from turning into complete shit.
The Individualz are an awesome, fairly new
band, from phoenix. They play offensive ballads of murder and
crime, not any pussy bullshit. They are very often playing shows
in the phoenix area, and have a cd out. i dont know whats going on with them now, i talked to their now ex-guitarist and he said that the singer left too, so we'll see what happens
The Abiotx is a band
out of the west valley. The band consists of ex-Rukus Squad
members, a band that tore it up in the local scene about 2 years
ago.
The
Fatskins a
local oi! band of skins from around the way. The band is on a
hiatus, as you can see by their dead site. They played with red alert not too long ago, but they are now looking for a new drummer. They are rumored to be
having a split with the templars out next year, keep an eye out,
its worth it. They have a cd and some shit on the taang records site.
Contr(a)vene another local anarchist
band. Dont know much about these guys, check it out, "i hear
theyre good".
The Peeps a local all-girl garage
punk band from az. Have never seen or heard them, but theyre from
az. they have been in a few magazines, and sound a little annoying. (hey i needed to fill space, alright?)
One Foot in the Grave local band that prides
themselves on being the oldest punk band in the world. The band
consists of members from sun city arizona, a retirement
community, with an average age of sixty something!! funny shit.
Authority Zero az. band started in Mesa.
Arizona in 1994, playing local gigs about every weekend. Kinda
cheesy not too in your face punk, but theyre from arizona.
