I've been a fan of Santa Cruz, CA punk rockers Swingin' Utters since picking up the Fat Wreck Chords’ Physical Fatness comp during my Freshman year of high school.

One of my favorite shows so far this year was the Revival Tour at the Aruba Hotel and my favorite performance at said show, which is hard to narrow down because every artist was so good, was the set from Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace (then performing as Tommy Gabel). ...
