The new AZPunk 2.0 is an ongoing in-the-works project. That means there might be
some bugs here and there. If you're looking for the best in AZPunk experience, ditch the
Internet Explorer and get your www on with a real browser!
Since the site's been back online for almost three weeks now, I've been spending a lot of time scouring the innerwebs for new Arizona punk stuff. Whether they're bar shows, house shows, skate jams, or underground conventions, we want to showcase the hard work behind these local happenings on AZPunk.com. What I've found is that shit is happening all over the place, and since we went offline a year ago, the local punk scene has continued to thrive and come up with new ways to have a good time. Did you know that Yuma just had a punk fest with about 10 of their local bands? No? How about that Wickenburg has one of the most kick ass skate parks in the state? Bottom line is that if you're bored in AZ, you're lazy. Besides the countless showsGot an upcoming show? Post it on our calendar! that occur on a daily basis, there is so much going on out here for a punk to experience, hear and read. Check out this brief list of things you should know about.
And if you haven't been privy to all the new music that's been happening outside of your little clique, do yourself a favor and hit up every one of these links.
If you have a list of local punk shit that you want to share, hit us up in our contact sectionAZPunk needs your participation! and let's talk. We definitely can't cover all these angles alone.

I was trying out the features Last.fm has. Pretty cool website for bands. Allows complete control over distro from only allowing samples of songs to be played, to downloading complete albums for free. Enjoy.
Check out the writeup on The Blaze's guest DJ shows coming up. Chris and I will be hosting from 1-2pm on March 23rd, so tune in!
