ILL COMMUNICATION started as a few friends from the Oxnard & Tehachapi, California Hardcore scenes who had talked about making music together for over 15 years. After playing and touring North America & Europe in bands, such as THE WARRIORS, Diehard Youth, NO MOTIV, Retaliate, and Gravemaker, they named the band, wrote some music, and started playing out. Soon after, they recorded two EP's that where released online, as well as a one-sided 12-inch on Another City Records. All their release have been and will be written, recorded, and engineered by a core group of friends. Musically, pulling from classic Hardcore bands, such as Beyond, Turning Point and Inside Out, as well as well as mix of other music styles. Lyrically, addressing a variety of topics covering the state of the world to chillin' out with friends.

With the aim to give back to a scene that has given them so much, ILL COMMUNICATION joined the Safe Inside Records family to start spreading their ILL vibes world-wide. Back in early 2022, they released a two-song promo on Safe Inside Records called Rhythm & Rhymes for The End Times. Just last month, ILL COMMUNICATION "Flip The Switch" featuring Vinnie Caruana which premiered exclusively at BrooklynVegan. Now, ILL COMMUNICATION have effectively shared the second official single from Doomsday Brigade with "World War Ill." It was premeired last week at Punk News and boasts features from Andrew Verity & Eva Hall, as well as back up vocals provided by THE ILL-CULT. Much like their namesake (The Beastie Boys,) ILL COMMUNICATION is about getting a little "wild," but staying progressive and paying respect to those who paved the way, but doing our part in the current Punk/Hardcore movement, all while representing Tehachapi & Oxnard Hardcore.

ILL COMMUNICATION will release their debut full-length, Doomsday Brigade on Safe Inside Records later this month. It was engineered by the band's own Roger Camero, and co-produced by The Movielife, I Am The Avalanche, Constant Elevation, and Peace'd Out's Caruana (who's, also, in Peace'd Out with Camero) and one-time ILL COMMUNICATION member/THE WARRIORS' Donny Phillips. Check out whhat ILL COMMUNICATION founding member Andy Franchere had to say about the inspirations behind "World War Ill" down below the break. ILL COMMUNICATION's Doomsday Brigade is now available for pre-order on yellow, yellow with red splatter, and orange-colored vinyl, as well as an exclusive standard black test pressing with a cover in homage to the Beastie Boys' equally iconic 1986 debut, Licensed to Ill. ILL COMMUNICATION's Doomsday Brigade is out May 31, 2023 on Safe Inside Records.

"World War Ill" is inspired by dirtbag people in positions of power or authority that use their status to take advantage of others. These shady types might be in a band, a co-worker, a promoter, a scene celebrity, or a key board warrior. These behaviors range from intimidation, to grooming, to worse. Any human who is guilty of these actions needs to be called out. This song is a call to arms to those who participate in the Hardcore Punk scene; a call to unite and take a stand against these behaviors, as well as coming to the aid of the victims who are feeling helpless.

It's "WORLD WAR ILL" and war is still Hell. Join The Doomsday Brigade today. We had our long-time friend Andrew Verity of Vendetta & Retaliate sing a line in legendary Nardcore fashion. Eva Hall of Power Alone & No Plan—who has been a friend since the Diehard Youth days—stole the spotlight with a killer guest spot. Danny Phillips of THE WARRIORS wrote and played the wicked lead in the intro. ...You'll Never Walk Alone.

[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

"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
