Doctor, Doctor give me the news….

Some of you might pretend you don’t have a winking brown starfish on the bottom of your nether region but Urgent Care is here to tell you that Colonoscopies can save your life. Get your pack of Pico-Salax and let the chocolate fountain bubble and flow. The colonoscope is a thin catheter with a camera attached to the end of it. Much like the movie The Fantastic Voyage, these explorers will navigate around billowing bulbous hemorrhoids like speed bumps in quiet sleepy fenced middle-class America. Now, if you are lucky, they can also do an endoscopy while you are out cold on the table. Rest assured they will not use the catheter on your gullet that was previously up your Hershey highway…. mind you if they reverse that it might explain why people exclaim... Whoa man, your breath smells like shit!.

So don the vinyl gloves and get ready to explore and leave those latex gloves on the operating floor ( you might not be aware that people with latex allergies might also have allergic reactions to certain foods like Kiwi, Bananas and Avocado this is due to some of the proteins in latex are also present in these fruits).

Urgent Care has emerged from the medical waste disposal site like medical student Toxic Avengers. Aurally (say Ahhhhhh!) resonating like output from the well-loved Rip Off Records. The Mummies emerging from beneath the Pyramids to tag team, poke in the eye cage match with the often feared- The Angry Samoans.Fast blasts of soap sud enemas blasting all over blue medical pads like a brown Tsunami. Believe in Science. Believe in Urgent Care.

The current lineup, consisting of Ben Walsh (guitar, vocals), Brianna Collins (keys, vocals), Mark Lebiecki (guitar), Colin Gorman (bass), and Teddy … Read more

N.E. Vains

Running Down Pylons
Big Neck Records (2025)

N.E. Vains’ Running Down Pylons delivers that kind of glorious, basement-level destruction. You know, back in the ’70s when every basement had those flimsy swinging room-dividing doors, and your skinny 130-pound frame suddenly ripped them clean off the hinges in a fit of imagined superhuman strength? The day you went from sand-kicked weakling to full Charles Atlas mail-order muscle miracle? … Read more

Poison The Well

Peace In Place
Sharptone (2026)

There’s no way to talk about Peace In Place without acknowledging the shadow it steps out from. Poison the Well isn’t just another reunited band dusting off an old name. They’re literally architects of the genre. The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation didn’t just help define metalcore, it rewired how heaviness and vulnerability could coexist. And honestly, is … Read more
