What Punk Day does right is that it keeps things concise. Punk rock is not the most diverse music, so putting five bands on the bill may seem like a daunting number, but Punk Day consistently keeps the sets short and sweet leaving the crowd more anxious than burnt out for each new band.
Punk rock is a very nostalgic thing for me. It was the first music I really claimed as my own. First Green Day, then Less Than Jake, then Epitaph Records, then Asian Man Records; one by one all these bands started to give definition to my music. It’s music of the people for the people; true and liberating.
