Originally Appeared In

Remember Christmas time when you were a kid - the extended family in your backyard, BBQs and drunken adults? You loved seeing your slightly strange uncle. The one with the piercing and the tattoo of the stoned tuna. He was different to your Dad, mysterious, exciting, a little dangerous. Well, imagine if there wasn't just one uncle, but two of them, and instead of Christmas it was your local beer drenched rock and roll venue. And instead of this entire laboured metaphor, it was BAD RELIGION AND NOFX! The two slightly weird uncles of punk, coming to our backyard together! NOFX and Bad Religion. Sharing a stage. We're talking political and socially aware diatribes wrapped up in tight-as-fuck punk rock. They're older than you, and they rock a lot harder than you ever will.
