Moist with Sandwich...

Small inflated raft full of rainbow balls to jump in.

Upon this rock I stand;
For it was too big to throw,
and there was nothing left to burn.

Nope, Tim Armstrong and Billie Joe Armstrong aren’t related, bro:

Tim:Rancid and Operation Ivy.
Billie Joe:Green Day.
Even though they’re not fam, these two legends have teamed up:

Co-wrote "Radio": Back in ’93, Tim and Billie Joe wrote the track with Matt Freeman. Total banger.

Formed the Armstrongs: In 2017, they teamed up with Billie Joe’s son Joey and Tim’s nephew Rey to drop a charity single, "If There Ever Was a Time," reppin' 924 Gilman—a rad nonprofit punk venue where they both cut their teeth.

Bad Religion @CBGB. 1988

Though it may not have the same immediate impact as London Calling, Sandinista! remains a bold and influential work in The Clash's catalog.

Grunge = sad punk...

The largest punk/hardcore festival in American history was No Values in Pomona, California on June 8, 2024

Backstage after the Rainbow Show in London, New Year’s Eve, 1977. Linda Clark, Leee Black Childers, Nancy Spungen, Sid Vicious, Dee Dee.

Wanna dig into punk history? Start with the legends, CBGB, The 100 Club, and 924 Gilman. These spots didn’t just see it all, they *lived* it, dude.

Punk ain't got no rules, dude. It's all about keepin' it simple and havin' a blast. If someone tries to lay down what punk *should* be, they can go take a hike, ya know? Don't get me wrong, punk can totally slap, but it’s not some polished junk for the average overproduced Joe Consumer to vibe with.

On this day in 1980, The Clash unveiled their fourth studio album, *Sandinista!* An ambitious triple LP, it boldly explores a wide array of genres, blending punk with funk, reggae, rockabilly, dub, jazz, and more. To make the 3-LP set affordable, the band accepted reduced royalties.

Want to learn a thing or two about punk rock, that's rad otherwise don't drink my beer!
