A dedicated fan, has posted a massive NOFX discography review spanning the band’s entire catalog and 27 year livespan. The four part series looks kindly on controversial albums like 1991’s Liberal Animation calling it a “ truly notable achievement.” but seems less fond of S & M Airlines. Of course, the review speaks well of the band’s 1994 breakthrough Punk In Drublic noting “stupendous songwriting.” It’s worth noting that the writer looks at the intervening 7-inches and EPs including The Decline which it notes “ beats Green Day to American Idiot’s punch” Each segment also includes a discography “mix tape” to provide some musical context for the writing.

In a new interview with Noisecreep, Every Time I Die confirmed their schedule for the remainder of the year. First up in November is a headlining tour, focused on small clubs and low door prices. The band noted:
We will bring it down to affordable shows, and we don’t have a huge overhead, so it’s totally more punk rock. We will be out all of November.

According to The Art of Fiction by John Gardner, the best stories ever written are the result of genre bending of some kind. Taking something that people are used to experiencing a certain way, and blending it with something they wouldn’t expect, like mash potato quesadillas. It’s awesome try it. A lot people have purported to combine punk rock with hip-hop. With the success of 311 in the mid 90’s, a slew of hip- hop-mixed-with-everything-else bands emerged, most of them rap-core, most of them boring. Therefore, when people describe POS as a rapper with punk rock influences, it doesn’t really convey the reality of what he does. POS’s brand of punk rock hip-hop is more visceral. Rather than carefully inserting rock and roll moments into rap songs, he injects the energy of punk into hip-hop songs. Hip-hop is his style, without question, but behind it lays an attitude, an ethos that we don’t usually equate with hip-hop. He’s collaborated with artists such like The Bouncing Souls and Jason Shevchuk from Kid Dynamite. Listening to these collaborations there’s a sense of shared excitement between the artists, and never an awkward mashing of styles.
Punknews writer Jon Reiss, having grown up in DIY punk, believes that it can be a meaningful experience that can affect any number of aspects of one’s life. Perhaps most interesting are those who carry that spirit into things we wouldn’t expect, be it music writing, cooking or even parenting. He’s written extensively on the subject looking for examples of people whose roots in punk manifest in interesting and different ways. POS’s music is a great example of how punk can pop up where you might not expect to see it.

Engineer – Engineers have undergone some serious training and are now capable of repairing damaged vehicles and defusing mines. An engineer can patch up a badly damaged vehicle, making it operable. A damaged component can be repaired to 60% status; however, note that the total damage inflicted upon the vehicle persists, and further damage will be calculated cumulatively. An engineer can defuse mines, satchels, and IEDs. It’s possible to order an engineer to repair/defuse something by standing close to it, selecting ‘engineer’ in your command bar, and then pressing ‘6-1’ (‘action’ > ‘defuse’/’repair’). If you are engineer yourself, simply select ‘action’ > ‘defuse’/’repair’ from the Action Menu (default binding is the middle mouse button).
Artillery Computer – All indirect fire weapons can exploit the brand new artillery computer by selecting it in the Action Menu (default binding is the mouse wheel). The artillery computer initiates an interface where you can see your weapon, and the associated minimal and maximal ranges on the map. You may adjust your fire mode in the menu to the right and select the target area that your ordinance will strike. The display will indicate an estimated time to target; once you fire the ordinance – by clicking the ‘Fire’ button – the interface will track each shot. Your aim will change according to your actions once you leave the artillery computer.
