Fried Egg is hardcore punk band from Central Virginia. They rule. But that’s not important. What’s important is that I can’t possibly listen to a band named Fried Egg without thinking about, well, not just fried eggs, but all types of prepared eggs. I eat a ton of eggs – fried hard, over-easy, sunny side up, scrambled, hard-boiled, poached, deviled, etc. I even had one of those “naked egg tacos” from Taco Bell, where they employ innovative techniques like using a fried egg as taco shell. (Just kidding, that’s a total lie. I haven’t had anything from Taco Bell since what is commonly referred to by those in attendance as “The Black Tar Incident” back in ‘04.) But you know what I’ve never had? A scotch egg. I feel like an idiot admitting this, but truth is I didn’t even know what a scotch egg was until a few days ago. On the off-chance that you, the reader, might not know what a scotch egg is that I feel like I should really quickly tell you. And even if you do already know, it’s worth revisiting just for the sake of sheer absurdity if anything. So here it is: A scotch egg is a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, covered in bread crumbs, and then deep-fried. Are. You. Kidding. Me?

It’s got groove, urgency, and a clear sense of purpose. Clocking in at around fifteen minutes, the EP wastes no time establishing its identity. From the opening moments of “This Chain,” it’s all forward … Read more

Dashed

Self Titled
Independent (2026)

When a band describes themselves as surf punk, it usually conjures a certain image. Reverb drenched guitars, sunburnt melodies, maybe even a sense of looseness that leans more carefree than chaotic. Dashed doesn’t really fit that mold. On their self-titled LP, they take those familiar elements and run them through something colder, sharper, and far less predictable. Across eleven tracks, … Read more

The Sleeveens

National Anthem
Goner (2026)

National Anthem is the second album from The Sleeveens, a Nashville, TN band fronted by an Irishman. The band play that perfect mix of protopunk and classic rock 'n' roll that's built on a verse/chorus/verse structure and melody without any frills. It's leather jacket music for the common folk. The debut grabbed me by my collar and spun me around … Read more
