There was a time when I would listen to Love/Hate everyday. Whether it was Wasted In America or Let's Rumble or Blackout In The Red Room, one of those three albums was playing while I was studying for college.

I've chosen to cut my ties with someone who I use to consider a friend. I met this friend a few years ago and I learned a lot about the music industry because of her. This was before I even created Generation Clash. After reading her articles, I was inspired to start my own media outlet to write about the artists that I loved.

I discovered Star Star a few years ago while I was going through a box of my dad's promo flats. I loved the cover art of "The Love Drag Years" and I had it displayed in my room before I ever listened to the album. The reason it took me so long to listen to it was because the album wasn't available on Spotify and I wasn't able to figure out where my dad's CD copy of it was. Eventually, I did find the CD and burned it to my BlackBerry so I could listen to it. When I listened to it, I loved it.

I discovered The Bus Boys on one of my dad's cassette tapes.

Funhouse is a hard rock quintet from Los Angeles, California. 

Riff Raff are a hard rock band from the USA that is made up of Doug Lubahn, Mark Kaufman, Ned Liben and Werner Fritzschings. They were founded in 1979 and the band split up in 1981.

I remember listening to this album when I was studying Business Calculus I in college.

Houston and the Dirty Rats are a high octane, punch in the face of shear nonsensical taco-infused punk rock fun! Known for their triumph of 100 shows in 100 days in 2019. They've been to ALL forty-eight states!

In the past year, I've seen a lot of media outlets and PR firms say that they are closing their doors.

The second album by The Godz was their first on Casablanca Records and Filmworks.

2024 is almost over and it's been quite a year.

I discovered Downtown Sara Brown because of BANDED. It was because of her that I discovered artists like The Last Bandoleros, Ruen Brothers, Early James, and Marcus King.

Retronaut Jukebox is back with it’s 33rd installment! 

I wanted to share a letter from the editor since I haven't done one in a while. So, since 2023, some things have changed. I turned 26 yesterday. I'm taking my last college class right now and after this I will get my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. I'm one class from being done. I was delayed because of the super hard math classes but I didn't give up. I worked hard and I succeeded.

The latest single by Scream Idol is out. It's a reimagination of their tune Sara Soda. This version is the night mix and you've gotta check this out.

New season, new sampler!

Concentric is the fourth single by Ivy Kill, and like all of their singles, it's terrific because artists like Ivy Kill are an artist that makes me look forward to hearing new tunes by them.

Fellaheen Records announces the long-awaited release of Andy and the Rattlesnakes, an eponymous new album featuring songs written and recorded by the band in the past decade. Dubbed by the L.A. Weekly as “one of the great, lost eclectic underground rock & roll bands in West L.A. in the early 80s,” Andy and the Rattlesnakes captivated L.A. music fans with their exciting live performances. The band's sound combines twisted punk overtones, reggae dubs, ska skanks, and spontaneous jazz and blues improvisations, into a mixture held together by the heart and soul backbone of solid R&B and rock n’ roll.

I discovered Mickey Mess on a playlist called "Rock-A-Rama Radio" by Scream Idol.

I discovered Rock City Machine Co. on Ryan Cook's Instagram page.

On March 27, 2019, I created Generation Clash. This happened because I asked myself how I could use my knowledge of music because I know a lot but I wasn't sure what I could do with that knowledge. Then I had an idea where I could write about the music I love. I've always felt that there's a lot of music I listen to that I don't see other people talking about. I'm not talking about a few artists, a lot of what I listen to I never see other people talking about.

On March 9th 2024, Judas Priest released their hugely anticipated new studio album "Invincible Shield" on Epic/Columbia Records.

I discovered Rock City Angels at Double Decker Records. I found their album Young Man's Blues on vinyl. It's a gold stamp promo. It's the single LP American pressing. I recently learned that there was an 2 LP version of the album that was released in Europe and it had more songs than the American edition. I learned about this after I noticed that there were songs on the Jim Dickinson mix album that weren't on the version I have of Young Man's Blues.

Something happened to me when I saw Green Day perform on New Year’s Eve. I had no idea Green Day was releasing a new album until I saw them on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. I saw them perform Dilemma and I thought it was fantastic and I couldn’t wait to hear the album.
