Baltimore's Cold Feet Return with "Good Book" from Upcoming PUNK ENTITY Orange/Black Swirl Vinyl LP (Feel It Records)

Cold Feet is a Punk/Hardcore band hailing from Baltimore, Maryland consisting of frontman Matt Casey, guitarist Evan Splain, bassist Tyler Holcroft, and drummer William "Billy Quitter" Chapman. Its members have previously/actively played in Quitter, Thematix, and Smoking Gun. Cold Feet, seemingly, formed around 2016 and rapidly self-released Demo 2016, TOUR TAPE 2017, and 2018's COLD FEET... EP. Now, Cold Feet have joined forces with Richmond, Virginia-based imprint Feel It Records to release their proper full-length album/EP entitled PUNK ENTITY. Earlier this week, Feel It Records quietly released the first single, "Good Book," from PUNK ENTITY; honestly, scrap that... this is probably the furthest thing you'll find from "quiet" on The Internet today! Just based off "Good Book," Cold Feet appear to harness a frantic, chaotic, feverish nature comparable to Henry Rollins-era Black Flag, The Misfits, Fugazi, and Minor Threat. It's an extremely old school Punk/Hardcore style often imitated, but very rarely, ever this well. "Good Book" only lasts for an all-too-short 1:16, but, I'm guessing, this will be a good sign of what's to come on Cold Feet's next full-form release. Feel It Records are currently taking pre-orders for PUNK ENTITY; a first pressing of 400 copies will be packaged with a double-sided two-color risograph insert, download code, and a hype sticker all packaged within a reverse board 20pt. jacket. Those 400 copies of PUNK ENTITY will be split up into 80 copies on orange/black swirl vinyl and 320 standard black vinyl. Cold Feet's PUNK ENTITY is out on Friday, April 3, 2020, via Feel It Records.

"John Waters once said, "the only thing I wanna be is a negative role model for a whole new generation of bored youth." Well, perhaps Baltimore's Cold Feet were the generation that picked up on those sage words and have crafted their own trashy, Hardcore Punk anthems on Punk Entity. Following a promising debut 7" EP and several cassette releases, we find Cold Feet at the height of their game with eight completely scorching tracks. Caught somewhere in the cross-hairs of the early 80's USHC craze, like the odd New Englander cousin who caught as much X-Claim! as Mutha Records bands, Cold Feet harness the power of Get It Away-era SSD, steal the reckless abandon of the first couple N.O.T.A. 7"s, and indulge the Bohemian sense of humor that Adrenalin O.D. rocked. These guys are complete underdogs, the secretly smart idiots that allow their guitar player to be Jim Lahey for a Halloween gig and still completely blow the place apart. Cold Feet are here to show ya that they're one of the most true-to-form Hardcore bands of [contemporary] HC Punk and hammer the point home with Punk Entity."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
