The Witzard

Southern California Punk legends Unwritten Law shared the short film/music videos for "Magnetic" & "The Hum" from their recently released seventh studio album, The Hum, yesterday. Directed by Joseph Russo, the short film follows the story of a couple, played by Tyler Posey & Tehya Elam, as they enter an alternate reality world known as The Hum.

L-R: Metallica's James Hetfield with Mike Davenport & Donald Spence from Versus The World at Soundwave 2013 (SOURCE: Mike Davenport) We've Got A Flyer On You will (hopefully!) be a new recurring column here at The Witzard. It's set to feature, examine, and re-visit mixed bill/genre, once-in-a-lifetime, iconic, and otherwise noteworthy Punk/Hardcore show flyers and their corresponding line-ups. As often as possible, we plan to speak directly with the promoters, bookers, flyer artists, soundmen/women, show attendees, and, most importantly, the artists themselves.
