UTP Album Review: Frank Turner - Tape Deck Heart

For almost a decade, Frank Turner has made his name traveling the world, putting on full-throttle acoustic sing-alongs in basements, clubs, arenas, and huge festival stages.

Fall Out Boy Tries To Save Rock And Roll

I might not be a writer for Up The Pucks after this album review goes up, but if you’re like me, this is a weird moment for my angsty years.  Growing up there was a lot of grunge, then there was this big gap of music that I now categorize as “guilty pleasures” and I’m sure I’m not the only one to be secretly excited about the new Fall Out Boy album.  Whether you were 13 or 25 when you discovered them, their earlier lyrics spoke to your inner-whiny brat (or possibly your very vocal whiny brat).  Their last album, Folie à Deux was released in 2008 and soon after they went on hiatus/broke up/took a rocket to the moon.  But yesterday, whatever they've been going through came to an end with the release of Save Rock And Roll.  

The album sounds completely like Fall Out Boy, and yet nothing like them.

What Would Punk Rock Jesus Do? A Review

Finally a book review that has nothing to do with steamy sex and every thing to do with a Punk Army.  Released on April 9th, Punk Rock Jesus by Sean Murphy is a Vertigo published graphic novel about cloning Jesus, the evils of reality tv and Corporate America, the IRA, and punk rock music.  I was expecting something crazy but ended up with a whole mess more.

Summer GHI Tournament Dates

Through the magic that is the internet and link clicking, I went from an article about the side effects of an anti-smoking drug to GHI, the Gay Hockey International.  Open to the gay, lesbian, bi, and transsexual community, but doesn't restrict allies from joining the league, the GHI has outposts in Albany, Boston, Chicago, LA, Montreal, New York, Ohio, Ottawa, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco (2), Stockholm, Toronto, Vancouver, Vermont, Windsor, and Wisconsin.  There are inactive groups in Colorado, Minnesota, Utah, and Washington DC.  

But I'm sure you guys all knew this, but they are having summer tournements this summer and I highly suggest you check it out:
