"I first got into punk when I saw some British lads that seemed to be a bit different, so in 1978 I went out and bought their album, Never Mind The Bollocks... Here's The Sex Pistols. I knew this was the music for me. I had been playing in bands for a couple of years and was getting bored with the whole fucked up R&R scene. I could relate to the energy and intensity of the Sex Pistols and found myself trying to wail out the tunes on my bass. Later, I bought the Ramones first album. If I wasn't hooked before, I was now. I went searching for a couple of sick individuals to get a punk band together (they were few and far between back then) and finally found a couple of guys and we formed The Abortions. We sounded like shit but had fun doing it. We had other ventures like Ratphuck and The Graverobbers. We also had a couple of Oi bands, but as time passed, so did we. I continue to play some and do a little studio work at home but the music still lives on. At the present, I am experimenting with some melodic death metal. Songs about rotting cadavers, cannibalism, and serial killers, you know, all the fun stuff. I guess my most memorable punk "events" were when I saw the Circle Jerks and Dead Kennedys on the same show in Charleston, SC. It was the most brutal mosh pit! The next day I looked like I had been beaten with a baseball bat. It was fucking awesome! The other would have been when I saw GG Allin at the Church in Charlotte, NC. What can I say... GG at his finest! If you enjoy my radio shows, let me know. If you have any requests send 'em on and I will see what I can do. If you don't like the music, then fuck off and go listen to the Backstreet Boys or some other lame lip syncing band."

For those confused, Rock Hell Radio is my creation started by myself to save us all.  It has evolved over the years, but has always been anti-mainstream and anti-censorship.  I also run Studio G where I record punks in an easy and dirty manner, because I can.

No really, I'm a nice guy.  I've been in loads of bands and have never found the Holy Grail. Guitar is my poison of choice, but I'm not picky.   If anyone remembers the "Brick Fest" parties in NJ in the mid 80s, let me know.  They were sick shows.  I remember the cymbal for the drum set was suspended from the ceiling and the drummer could only hit it when it wasn't taking somebody's head off and swinging over the stage.  There was cold beer in the washing machine.  Bruno and Rick were Brick!  Poop , Goop and Schwoogs were all there-So were the beginnings of Squatweiler.  Scumsucker ripped it up.

Christen:     As an artist, I love the creativity and freedom of expression in punk rock. It's one of the few things that makes any sense. Nothing is held back and there is no pretentiousness. Whether it's politically charged or about basic human frustration, real punk stays true to the values of original rock 'n roll. It really is a form of art and expression, and that's not a commodity, especially in modern music. I was raised on stuff like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Jimi Hendrix. My mother was a hippie and I never understood her ideals. To me it was more like being ignorant and naive. But she raised me on music, which I will be forever grateful to her for. I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for punk rock.

  Mark:     Growing up in Rock Hill, you're exposed to redneck mentality and close-minded ways of thinking. Being surrounded by these types of people makes you sick and fed up. A person can't be themself without some fucker giving 'em shit. I guess that's why I can relate to punk. Playing and listening to it is my way of venting the anger that has built up over the years. Fortunately, I discovered that there was a scene in the Charlotte area. And why wouldn't there be? I was ten years old when I first heard Nirvana and that was when I realized that there was other music out there besides classic rock, heavy metal, and new wave. A year later I heard The Misfits and I've been hooked ever since.

I was born and lived the early part of my life just outside of Philly in Newark, Delaware. When I was younger, I moved down to the NC coast. That’s where I grew up, and that’s where I honed my distaste for authority in general. Music became my outlet, and punk rock was the best thing I could find that allowed me to vent my aggression, and meet other people who were just like me. The best place around me to do that was The Mad Monk (R.I.P) in Wilmington, NC. I can remember seeing the best punk and hardcore bands ever…bands like Agnostic Front, The Cro-Mags, Sick Of It All, Bad Brains, Fugazi, D.R.I…etc. And the list goes on and on and on!!! Man, what great bands, and a great time. As for me, my life has been a blast, but if I died tomorrow, I would have nothing to complain about...I have lived the best fucking life I can...

 

What else is there to say that couldn’t be determined just by listening to my show?

 

I listen to punk rock music, ‘cause its better than you!!!
