not in a mean or judgemental way, but ben kweller really is not punk.

just wondering what criteria punknews uses when deliberating which bands and artists they choose to report on.

Someone (March 31, 2007)

$$$$$$$$$$

if the Ergs write a song about you, you're automatically p0nx.

you should know this. it's in the handbook.

I think the fact that they are out there making records are comparitively small budgets and hacking out some sort of living off a semi-DIY ethic could qualify many different sounding bands to rest under the punk-rock umbrella. And also, before anybody defines punk, just remember that the Ramones were just an up-tempo 50's rock band.

i've got a huge boner right now.

Someone (March 31, 2007)

Dante might be able to help you out with that.

Someone (March 31, 2007)

his first album was good, but everything since has been pretty unexceptional.

Someone (March 31, 2007)

This man is one tiny son of a bitch. I have a picture where he is standing next to me and he comes up to my shoulder... and I'm only 5'7".
