#BYO Records Label Announces #Fiscal Issues Determine Inability To Put On Large #LasVegas #PunkRock #Bowling Festival in 2026

#MusicFestival Organizers, Who First Organized Small Gathering Of Hundred Misfit Musicians & #Indie #RecordLabel Employees In 1999 At Orleans Hotel Vow Return In 2027.

Annual Event Eventually Grew To Host Dozens Of Bands On Outdoor Stages Playing To Crowds Of Up To 10;000

In Meantime Shawn Stern, The 65 Yr Old Leader Of #YouthBrigade Leaves Political Statement ...

"It is an absolute honor and pleasure to put this festival on each year to remind all of us that we’re here to celebrate the music that inspires us to come together, to understand and acknowledge our ability to fight against what we believe is wrong, and to stand up for everyone’s right to live a life free from hate, ignorance, and fascist religious authoritarian rule."

"It’s ironic that so much of what we all fought against has now come raging back with a fascist authoritarian movement headed by a septuagenarian who is the worst American con man, grifter, and reality star in this country’s history. He is the face of the far-right movement, a continuation of a religious white nationalist ideology that formed the foundation of the Confederacy, and whose followers continue to attempt to overthrow the Republic."

Listening to my #Vinyl #Collection - Album 238

The Brigade – The Dividing Line (1986)

It's labeled as #hardcore #punk on many sites, but it's not. This is more #alternative than punk.

Much like I said for later X albums, it's not bad, they've simply moved out of my preferred genre. At least they moved into alternative and not blues. 🤘
