Teenage Bottlerocket may just be one more example of the great influence that The Ramones have had on music, but Jen Cray didn’t come to judge.

During their short tour opening for the legendary Joan Jett, Texas’ most valuable export- Riverboat Gamblers - invited Jen Cray up to their dressing room for an informal chat before their set.

Start of the Century (The Lab). Review by Carl F Gauze.

The Applicators fill the void of estrogen heavy punk bands that seemed to have all but disappeared after the ’90s wave of riot grrrls faded out. Jen Cray called up Kristina (bass) and Erica (guitar) to talk about being an American band from Texas, and scientific experiments for cash.

What’s the difference between young bands and old bands, and why would you want to be one and not the other? Lynn Wallace talks to Allister and finds out.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Etiquette (Narnack). Review by Aaron Shaul.

Tiger Army are out on their first ever headlining tour. In Orlando, singer/guitarist Nick 13 took some time to share with Jen Cray his thoughts about the band and his music.

Green Day started out 16 years ago as a bratty punk rock band playing in dank, empty clubs, but these days their ambitious punk rock opera American Idiot has catapulted them onto a sold-out arena tour. Jen Cray finds them not to have changed in the least.

Social Distortion plays to yet another sold-out crowd 25 years into their career. Thus proving conclusivelly, to Jen Cray and all that Punk is not dead.
