The Holy Trinity
A friend of mine once asked what we do, and the second the word “punk” escaped from my mouth, her face twitched. She suggested that we find a better word to describe our ways because “punk” doesn’t mean the same thing to everybody, and some people will be turned off right up front if we call ourselves that. I get where she’s coming from, and she’s not...

Psalm One
One of the good things about being a woman in the music business is that there aren’t many of us. The mainstream is deceiving. We can and do move between scenes and crews, and we keep a pulse on underground and mainstream music without question. I guess you have to make the most of not having a context in any certain sense. I’ve learned not to focus on the negative, that women have...

Prop Anon is a rapper? an MC? a punk? Call him what you will, I’m dubbing him a musician from New York just to be safe. He’s a bit of a one-man wolf pack, but his honorable ideals and hardcore perseverance fill any leftover voids. I met Prop just shy of a year ago when he, Sarmust, and The Kominas rolled through Wisco during the 2009 TaqwaTour.
As usual, Fo and I might have gotten...

The original idea behind The Sindicate has evolved since our first show put Britny Rose and I into chaotic planning mode for the weekend of September 11, 2009. Since we’re all up in Spring’s business now, I thought it’s time to go through where we’ve been so far and have some quality story time. Well we started as co-hosts and built a makeshift production team out of...

Degrade
So I spent the past four days trying to figure out what to say about our interview with Degrade, a hardcore punk band out of Japan, last Saturday. Honestly, I still got nothing, not because there’s a lack of ideas or whatnot but because I’m speechless.
Yes, the peanut gallery is speechless. Crazy, right?
The only thing I have to say is listen to the interview and tell us what you...

The Sindicate was founded on the idea that hip hop and punk rock are essentially the same. The cores of each separate identity are made up of similar elements, and their respective audience members have epic BFF potential.
When it comes down to it, greatness in ideas, music, art, and culture develop when the two paths cross. We brought a few seemingly mismatched genres to this episode’s...
