“Information moves quickly, accuracy notwithstanding… I accidently saw the graphic video, my phone automatically delivering me a snuff film I never asked for.” –Donna Ramone (instagram)

“While twenty-five-year-old me is disappointed that I’m listening to hardcore, fifteen-year-old me is glad I’m back…. I felt strong. I felt powerful. I felt the opposite of old.” –Jim Ruland (instagram)

“Sometimes you just don’t wanna do shit. And we should feel empowered to say no, just because…. I must say no so I can say yes in other ways.” –Lorde Destroyer

“You can heckle against the propaganda all you want. It may even do some good to be there heckling. But you still paid the price of admission.” –Sean Carswell (instagram)

“It’s one of those amazing occurrences that cannot be produced from a capitalist system, only from a system where ‘doing cool shit’ is the local Bitcoin.”–Rev. Nørb (instagram)

“Music often leaves an imprint, even long after it stops, resonating for what can seem like an eternity…. Here’s to seeing you on the other side, my grandfather.” –Designated Dale

“You say bootlicker like it’s a bad thing!” –Art Fuentes (instagram)

“Kenny Loggins really couldn’t stand up against, ‘I saw your mommy and your mommy’s dead.’.” –Rhythm Chicken (instagram)

“I’m a loving parent, and an aging punk who is deeply suspicious of our relentless, unexamined technological advancement. But I’m also fucking tired.” –Jennifer Whiteford (instagram)
