Buffy Fawkin Rollins just published her first Naptown Punk album review, of Shelbyville ska-rock band Pressed In Black and their 2020 album "Green Coffee" -- check it out!

If you were to ask me who my top five favorite Indiana artists would be, Pressed in Black would definitely be on that list. I remember doing a show with them while with my first band and getting to know singer / guitarist Kit Haymond. We both shared similar interests including music, the Three Stoog...

Missing Fingers’ first full length album, One Man’s Trash, slammed its way into 2022 by bringing in a few classics we’d heard on the band’s debut EP — the excellent “Just A Little Kiss” and a slightly-updated version of “Wäwfulhaus” among them — while adding more than a handful ...

I've had the Covid Vaccine Side Effects Blues the last week or so, so things have gotten behind here at Naptown Punk Central. But here's an oldie-but-goodie to pump up your weekend -- Reprinted from Issue #3, MethMatics! The band is playing tonight at Black Circle Brewing at 6 with Stealing Volume and The Run-Up! Just $7 at the door ... don't miss it if you're healthy, masked and able!

(A link to the interview with The Run-Up from the cover of Issue #5 is included in the comments as well!)

I talked to State Street Pub's owner Jimmy Peoni last week about his plans to reopen the bar's patio this summer for socially distanced live shows! Check out the details (and buy their new super awesome new shirts) by clicking through to the article :)

The band was drunk and our short interview got crashed by two interlopers who wanted to talk about the band's guitar sound, but Misunderstood is definitely worth reading about -- I'm definitely going to follow up with Lyn-Z Riot after the band gets back into the studio! They are playing a show tonight at Black Circle, so check them out! Just $5.00 ... and ALL AGES
http://naptownpunk.com/interview-misunderstood-richmond-ind/

Don’t misunderstand what’s going on in Richmond. Though there are only a handful of bands making waves in one of Indiana’s easternmost towns, these bands are putting central Indiana punk on the map. And Misunderstood, led by Lyn-z Riot, got the party started more than three years ago with Disa...

Missing Fingers talked to Naptown Punk back in the late July days post-quarantine. Here is the result. Enjoy!

http://naptownpunk.com/interview-getting-sticky-with-missing-fingers

Apologies abound for the ridiculous delay in delivering the interview Naptown Punk conducted with up-and-coming local punk band Missing Fingers. Though conducted in late July at 18th Street Distillery with Cameron and Tyler after the first round of quarantine had let up this summer, at which point t...
