Mermaid Island LIVE @ Knucklehead Hollywood, California
(Blur's Dream) KNUCKLEHEAD HOLLYWOOD. I brought my Sony A7R IV to Knucklehead Hollywood to document this up-and-coming punk rock ensemble. The bill consisted of M-16, Spunk, Mermaid Island, and Spray Allen. The energy at this show was wild. Shoutout to the Latex Vixens for dancing during the live sets. I had a ton of fun, and the bands played super dope music! Apologies to M-16 for not filming the first half of the set. Go check out Mermaid Island.
Following an incredible performance of an unreleased Decessus track on national TV, Ignacia Fernandez stunned the judges and audience, bringing death metal to one of the world’s most traditional beauty pageant stages.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, she shared that metal has always been “a refuge, a source of strength and purpose,” adding that the experience gave her a chance to “break down barriers, inspire, and show that you don’t have to fear the prejudices of others.”

Following that viral moment, Fernandez went on to win Miss World Chile and will now represent Chile and the global metal community at Miss World 2026.
Check out her band Decessus [Diseases?], who’ve toured and performed alongside Epica, Jinjer, and Insomnium, and listen to their track “Dark Flames” linked below.

(Iconic Figures) July 28, 2025: For decades, fans have questioned the official story behind Kurt Cobain’s tragic murder/death. Whispers of conspiracy, hidden evidence, and unanswered questions never faded. But now, long-buried information has surfaced—finally shedding light on the mystery. And the truth is darker than anyone imagined.
This video dives deeply into the final days of the Nirvana frontman, exploring what really happened behind closed doors and why so many still struggle to accept the official narrative. Think you know the full story of Kurt Cobain? Prepare to see it in a shocking new light.
As for the question, Is punk dead?It never seemed to be until we saw our first "Punk's not dead" patch. Who said it was, and why give that idea more airtime? Of course, it's been decades since that happened, and now there's a museum, and if it is dead, "pop punk" killed it.
But how could it be dead if even the Sixties' hippie movement is not dead but lives on at Phish and other shows. The music survives, and the sentiment is strong. Punk rock really was about something, not least going against the stream. Noah Levine capitalized on this with his Dharma Punx book and a meditation and sobriety movement that aimed at turning that rebellion inward to something longer lasting than a fashion statement or general nihilistic attitude. Is it dead? Ask Russ Rankin, Finn McKenty, Punk Rock Girl, and Lorna Doom, and we'll let them be the arbiters.

Punk Rock Museum?
It was code blue, um, code red when the legendary L.A. hardcore punk band (with OC Goth beginnings) played The Punk Rock Museum's March parking lot show.
It was an unforgettable day of music, an incredible event that featured five powerhouse bands, each bringing their unique energy and style. The legendary T.S.O.L. headlined, taking the stage to close out the evening in epic fashion. The show started with local Las Vegas trio The Dollheads, followed by the high-energy Knuckleheadz, and the electrifying Playboy Manbaby, and the Voodoo Glow Skulls.
Tickets got fans into the show and into the museum, too (entrance fee included). The first 80 who arrived got seating to watch a round table discussion that started at 12:30 pm, moderated by the legendary George Stroumboulopolous in a riveting, in-depth conversation, exploring the global cultural impact of punk, featuring Fat Mike, Kevin Lyman, T.S.O.L's Jack Grisham, photographer Edward Colver, Vinnie Fiorello, and Jennifer Finch. It was an action-packed day!
THE PUNK ROCK MUSEUM
Never Mind the Bollocks, here’s The Punk Rock Museum! It’s been 45+ years since punk rock pogo’d its way into music, fashion, film, and popular culture. On April 1st, 2023, The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas opened its doors to proudly shove in our faces the history, culture, and absurdity of rock n’ roll’s bastard stepchild. This museum invites lifelong fans and curious looky-loos of all ages to experience a hands-on and uniquely punk rock experience.

March 30, 2025: Edward Colver: The Eye of Los Angeles Punk exhibition (opening reception)
Edward Colver has immortalized some of the most iconic figures of the 20th century through his striking photography. Best known for his raw and electrifying images of the early punk scene, Colver’s work captures the energy, rebellion, and spirit of a movement that reshaped music, fashion, and art in Los Angeles. His photographs are more than just visuals—they are cultural artifacts that document the birth and evolution of punk.
While his legacy is deeply tied to punk rock, Colver’s career extends far beyond, spanning a diverse range of subjects and artistic expressions.
Renowned photographer Edward Colver captured Los Angeles punk rock at its inception. His iconic photographs chronicle the heartbeat of the movement. By the end of 1983, he had provided the cover art for many L.A. punk records like:
Circle Jerks,
T.S.O.L,
Dead Kennedys,
Black Flag,
Social Distortion,
X,
Adolescents,
Bad Religion,
Minor Threat,
FEAR,
and Christian Death to name just a few.

This JBLZE is going down like a Lead Blimp
In a December 2024 interview, Terrie Carr of rock station WDHA-FM 105.5 FM, Dover and Morristown, New Jersey, Jason Bonham spoke about what it was like to perform in front of full houses with his LED ZEPPELIN EVENING show across North America the previous fall. He said:
"I always find it's a pinch-yourself moment because I look at it as I started this purely as a therapeutic way to get the LED out of me.
"After playing with the real McCoy, the real deal [the original lineup], in [December] 2007 [at London's O2 Arena], I remember when it stopped, it was a huge, 'Now what?'… because I just spent six weeks with the [surviving members of LED ZEPPELIN] every day [in preparation for the London show].
"Every day we were together, hanging out, telling stories. They would tell me things that I didn't know [about my dad]. Now I'm a grown-up — they would tell me all these different things. So suddenly you feel part of it. And my mom said, 'Are you gonna be okay when it stops?' I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got this.' Because you've been given the keys to the kingdom, and you sat in the throne of the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
"So when it stopped, it was hard, I must say. And then when the idea came, 'Why don't you do a band, a tribute thing," I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? I've just played with [the original guys]. I don't wanna tarnish that.' So it became more therapeutic. And I realized it's about the fans. The reason why we're still doing it, after I got over my stories... 'It's about me and my dad' — it's not. It's about our love for Dad, me and everyone, because we all have stories of what he meant to us.
"I lost my dad; you lost your drummer. So that's the only reason — the love and the passion that we do it and still do it -- because there's a lot of other things that I like to do."
Jason Bonham spent nearly a decade touring as JBLZE before changing the band's name to JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING. He later explained that the switch was prompted by a request from the LED ZEPPELIN camp, who wanted to use the "experience" name for a project involving the archive of ZEP live recordings.
JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE was formed in 2009 to pay tribute to Jason's father, the band's original drummer, who died in 1980 at the age of 32. "It was meant to be part of my way of expressing my love for music and expressing myself with a tip of the hat to my father," Jason told Mixdown in a 2017 interview.
"Soon after doing the 28 shows that we did with an orchestra, everyone said, 'You're not going to stop now, are you? You haven't been here; you haven't played there…' And so I said, 'As long as you guys want me to do it, I'll do it.' It's really fan-based. More
Beloved girl band Las Pretty Prettys gets lots of love from LA's formerly-alternative radio station KROQ.com. They were invited to perform at the station's annual Acoustic Xmas jamboree and this past weekend at Bear Mountain ski resort for a specialSnow Summit event. They've grown up a little and gotten tough. Now the singer screams and roars, and the guitarist jumps around, which is progress. This ain't no kiddy party but a Bikini Kill, L7, riot grrrl music to mosh to mess, or at least it seems to be going in that direction.
