Masked Intruder
Posted March 1, 2015, 3:52 p.m.Who would have thought a group of masked criminals from Madison, WI would fulfill all of our pop-punk dreams? Masked Intruder are currently making some of the catchiest music in the punk scene and keep proving that they are much more than a gimmick . Not only are these guys so much fun to watch (Seriously, have you seen them live?!), but they really do care about making awesome music. Scene Point Blank had a chance to sit down with Intruder Blue in a sketchy little basement venue (Don't worry though, Officer Bradford was there to supervise) and discuss prison talk, falling in love and, most importantly, how seriously they take their music. Also, prepare to laugh a lot. I ...

Strike Anywhere
Posted Oct. 16, 2010, 11:05 a.m.Anyone familar with Strike Anywhere will be aware of their sincerity and consistency throughout their career. Equally sincere is their frontman, Thomas Barnett, a force of lyrical fury and intellectual reason. When Scene Point Blank's Matt sat down with Thomas, we talked about the recently uploaded footage of a UCLA student tasered by police on YouTube in between recording. Barnett's reaction to the news of independent footage exposing corrupt police was simple: "Fucking awesome". In the interview we talked about similar themes: operational purity, working class ethics, Japanese prisons and the ubiquitous major label discussion. Scene Point Blank ...
