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!










Trying to keep up with the sheer awesomeness that splatters this state from border to border is a full time job. There is so much going on in the Arizona punk scene on a daily basis, that since we relaunched in April, there's maybe been one day that has been empty on our show calendar. And despite the daunting task of scanning the innerwebs for shows to populate the calendar with, there's a chance that something was going on that I just missed. That being said, it's hard for us to get EVERY show posted. If you know of something coming up that you don't see on the calendar, please post it! If you've got something you want to promote, let us know! We're still working on making comments possible, and tons of other stuff, but the promotional capabilities on AZPunk is alive and well! If you want to help, or if you've got shit you want to promote online (and we know you do), just shoot us an email and let's get it rollin!
Ok ok, enough with the begging. Let's get on with the real reason we're here; a very brief list of some of the local things you should know about...
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!
The South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival is one of the largest and most popular in the United States. For the sixth year in a row, SXSW has released a DRM-free, RIAA-safe collection of hundreds of songs which can all be downloaded for free in a couple of clicks, thanks to BitTorrent.
Hey guys my band just recorded our first EP and are looking for some shows. You can hear 3 of the songs on our myspace. But if you or if you know someone who might be interested in booking us let me know. Peace.
