Peak second-wave era. The guy with the mohawk and plaid pants is Dave Ferguson, a well-known fixture of the London scene back then. You can spot Exploited and Disorder patches on the jackets.

This one’s for the workers Dropkick Murphys shuttering webstore in solidarity with Kings Road Merch workers

736 Upvotes

Has anybody heard anything from other Kings Road bands like the Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, Descendents, Rancid, etc…?

DKM’s statement:

👊 We heard your requests !!

The DKM x KRM warehouse worker shirt is now available in unisex and KIDS SIZES !!

This design is available ONLY on the DKM US webstore.

🚨ICYM THE NEWS LAST WEEK… here’s the details 🚨

WE STAND WITH THE 👊 WORKERS 👊 at the Kings Road Merch warehouse !!

We’ve been with KRM for 15 years — and some of the warehouse team have packed our merch since day one.

It has been our hope that Teamsters Local 970 could help negotiate a settlement / agreement with KRM’s new owner Sony Music. That has not happened yet.

So while that remains in limbo, we are shutting down our webstore until further notice — in SOLIDARITY with the WORKERS.

WE WILL HOWEVER SELL ONE DKM x KRM UNION COLLAB SHIRT.

100% of proceeds will go to the KRM warehouse union workers. This will hopefully help raise awareness and put some extra money in the pockets of the workers and their families on behalf of Dropkick Murphys.

Discussion Punks looking for a career where you get to put your ideals into practice? Workplace Health and Safety

95 Upvotes

I see this asked every so often.

"How do I do a job without selling out?" I bounced around a lot and was even a military cop for a minute (I know. ACAB. But growing up in the broker parts of the Bay Area I took what I could get to escape) before finding what I wanted to do, and how to express myself and this is it.

I've spent the past 15 years working in occupational health and safety with the last 7 in Amazon. I spend all day spending Amazons money on forcing them into slowing down their profits and forcing them to treat their people better.

While sure lots of it is for litigations sake more than anything, you do spend the vast majority of the time just checking in on workers and making sure they got what they need to work safely. Sometimes it's just tools, sometimes an injury, accomodation to work within their limits, or helping get them therapy.

Just recently got to another site and joined in the weekly safety board meeting. It was clear the site lead wanted to use safety to come down and fire people. Thankfully HR Also picked up on this and together we were able to stop them from firing 4 people. Each week im sure we'll be doing the same until we get them to start acting right.

It's a richly rewarding job that actively fights against capitalism and since all physics can hurt all people, no one is really in charge.

Local Artist Noizy Boys - Belarusian street-punk band

11 Upvotes

The band Noizy Boys is a street-punk collective from the Belarusian town of Shchuchyn. The official birthday of the band is considered to be October 25, 2008 — the day of the first rehearsal at the local rehearsal base "Kamora." From the very beginning, the musicians adhered to anti-racist and anti-fascist views, and their music is a mix of street punk and Oi! with simple riffs, loud sound, and socially conscious lyrics.

The first lineup of the band consisted of Kasper (guitar, vocals), Bot (bass), and Makar (drums). After intensive rehearsals, the band began playing concerts at "Kamora" together with the punk band "Razval Skhozhdenie." In autumn 2009, Noizy Boys recorded their first demo with the same name. However, soon after that, Bot was drafted into the army, and the band virtually ceased to exist for three months. In February 2010, Kasper assembled a new lineup: he remained on vocals and guitar, joined by Yurgen (bass) and Lyonik (drums). In summer 2010, this trio recorded an album, but tension was growing within the group. During work on new material, Lyonik deleted all recorded material from the computer one day, for which he was fired. He was replaced by an old friend of the band, Egor.

In early autumn 2012, the renewed lineup began recording the six‑song EP "Nikakikh Kompromissov!" (No Compromises!) on the label ULTRA PULTRA Records. Soon after the release of the EP, drummer Egor left the band and was replaced by Donya. With the renewed lineup, the band played concerts in Vilnius (Lithuania), Minsk, and Baranovichi. The first music video was also shot for the song "Opravdannaya nenavist", and the EP itself was released on CD by the Belarusian labels No Justice and Street Beat Records.

In 2013, the band celebrated its fifth anniversary. In early 2014, a split vinyl with the Polish punk band Anemia 77 was released. This was a collectible picture vinyl with a print run of 500 copies. The release was a joint effort by the labels Food Waste Records (England), No Pasaran Records and 83 Records (Poland), Street Beat Records and No Justice Records (Belarus). Noizy Boys presented three completely new songs on this split, one of which was in the Belarusian language. At the same time, the band had planned a video shoot and a joint mini‑tour with Anemia 77 through the cities of Belarus and Poland.

As for the lineup, drummers were indeed the weak point of the band. After Donya left in 2013 due to his involvement in other projects, the very first drummer Makar briefly returned to the band. Later, Egor took over the drums. At various times, Yurgen (bass) and Lyonik also played in the band.

The band's concert activity was quite active. Noizy Boys performed not only in their native Shchuchyn but also throughout Belarus, as well as in Bialystok, Warsaw (Poland), Vilnius (Lithuania), and Moscow (Russia). In one interview from 2013, the musicians noted that they had a solid core of friends who supported the band and traveled with them to concerts. According to them, a friendly family of skins, thrashcore fans, and punks had formed in Shchuchyn. Among the highlights, they mentioned the performance in Vilnius and some funny incidents at concerts, including attempts at attacks by boneheads.

The band's songs are available on all platforms.
