May 12th’s house show was special not just because of the awesome lineup, intimate living room setup, and ice cream truck outside but because it was Mother's Day. And the woman of the house, (a mother herself) was kind enough to open her doors to an eager group of kids looking to hear some great live music. ...

I’ll be completely honest: I didn’t even plan on attending any of the PRB shows this year. I thought the 2013 lineup paled in comparison to last year, and the fact that I had to work on Friday and Sunday further complicated matters. Sure, there were a few bands scattered throughout the weekend that interested me like 7 Seconds, Agnostic Front, Bad Religion, D.R.I., Flag, and Subhumans, but I hesitated to buy tickets. I can’t say I was all that bummed when I found out all of the shows had quickly sold out. ...

The second full day of Punk Rock Bowling was the one I was most looking forward to this year. Headliners Bad Religion are one of the bands that got me into punk, they’re coming off one of their best albums in a while with True North and it’s been about 7 years since I last saw them live. On top of that, I’m a huge Bouncing Souls fan (I do run a blog named after one of their songs) and I never tire of seeing Lagwagon. ...

Memorial Day weekend brought about the return of Punk Rock Bowling, the long-running music festival put on by BYO Records founders Mark and Shawn Stern. The festival has expanded over the years from a single show at the Huntridge or House of Blues to a full on Lollapalooza-sized festival for fans of punk and its various subgenres. ...

Hardcore and punk legends 7Seconds, TSOL and Angry Samoans, along with relative newcomers Stabbed in Back, packed the Las Vegas Country Saloon May 26 with wall to wall eager fans making this one of the first club show to sell out. The quick sellout is a testament to the bands’ legacies, especially considering TSOL was set to play a free pool party the next morning (there’s a group I’d never think of as a water-front party band) and 7Seconds frontman Kevin Seconds played a solo show the night prior. But all those other appearances just can’t beat seeing the bands on a small, intimate stage. ...

Closing out the club shows of Punk Rock Bowling 2013 was the show I was most excited for, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I was very lucky to get a ticket to this, as it sold out in about 5 minutes, leaving a lot of disappointed fans staring at their computers in disbelief. ...

Deciding which Punk Rock Bowling late night club shows to go to can be difficult with so many great bands playing at the same time. On the first night, while Steven was covering Lawrence Arms/Nothington/ ИO / / / sé, I opted to attend the Strung Out/Guttermouth/Left Alone show at the Fremont Country Club. ...
