People that are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old, music is their life. And the idea that they can’t go see a band because they’re not old enough just doesn’t make any sense at all. To me, playing a show where people under the age of eighteen or under the age of twenty one are not allowed in is the same thing as not allowing women in, or Asians. It’s a significant part of the population that’s been ruled out for what reason? I’ve never played a show, knowingly at least, that wasn’t all ages. Music is for all people, that’s clear. And I don’t know why other people would ever accept conditions that were set by an industry as insidious as the alcohol industry. Why is music treated as a sideline to a party? To just getting fucked up, I just don’t understand it.

- Ian Mackaye

Amen.

Love ian

Agree and dissagree.
Agree - music IS for everyone. Music is life, love and blood.
Dissagree - At the age of 24, where I am now, it would be so nice to be able to have that moment with a favorite band where I don’t have to deal with the girl screaming beside me, or the guy who thinks he is hot shit, pushing everybody around because he is taller. It would be SO nice to be able to have a legitimate conversation with a favored artist without a random girl running up and pushing me out of the way so she can talk about her panties with him. You’re under-age, sweetheart. He does NOT care about your panties. I mean, sure, at a 21+ show, you are still going to have that, but at least that girl probably won’t walk away talking about:
A. What a bitch I am because he has chosen to speak to me over her and her panties.
B. What a dick the artist is because he doesn’t care about her panties.

If you want to throw it out about how the only people who attend 21+ shows are only there to get wasted, take a look at ANY show. It’s not just 21+. At least at a 21+ show, you know the kids aren’t drinking.
Also, if you have ever had a drink in your life, you have supported the “insidious” industry.

Just some thoughs on a fan perspective. I’ve been in the seat of the 21 & under, wishing I was at a show…but having been to all ages shows AFTER being 21+, I semi-long for the 21+. I’m in-between…but, again, I don’t care about your under-age panties…neither do the artists. Maybe Justin Bieber?

NFG on the cover of @altpress next month!

so freaking cool.

Apparently we have a poster in the new AP? Had no idea. 2 cover mentions in a row… insane!

AP is starting to cover tons of great bands in our scene so please support them buy subscribing or buying issues with bands you dig on the cover. Your dollar is a vote to make them keep covering great music and in turn make you want to read more.

It’s a very interesting time in music and I think our scene of bands is finally getting the attention they deserve.

Thanks Alt Press. Keep it up with the great bands on the covers!

This is happy. and exciting.

I AM SO EXCITED THAT I AM A SUBSCRIBER!!! It has been a while since I was THIS STOKED about a band on the cover! I AM SO STOKED!!

I love NFG. Always and forever.

Panic! at the Disco | Pumped Up Kicks (Foster the People cover)

For me, the end of the second line of this song will forever be “give me the fucking paper now” no matter who sings it.

^ And that giggle afterward.
Priceless.

hahaha.

I love the crap out of this.

Panic! At The Disco: Vices & Virtues Photoshoot

Here’s a video from the set of the photoshoot for Panic! At The Disco’s Vices & Virtues album packaging in California. It was shot by the album’s Art Director Alex Kirzhner and finally reveals who was behind the goat mask on the cover of the album.

As much of a Panic! At The Disco geek as I am, I knew it had to be either Dallon or Ian. Always.

Let’s just be brutally honest here:
Panic! is the ONLY band who could CORRECTLY cover this song. It’s those incredibly tremendous vocals. <3

from The Academy Is…

After nine years and three albums, The Academy Is… have decided to go our separate ways. We began in 2003 as three young friends in the suburbs of Chicago, with dreams of creating music that meant something to us. Dreams of leaving those suburbs behind and seeing all of the beautiful things that this world has to offer. Dreams of making a difference in the lives of others.

It is now 2011 and we look back at the records we’ve made, the shows we’ve played, the places we’ve been.
The people we’ve met.

The Academy Is… has made its mark.
We celebrate the experiences of our past, as we welcome what lies ahead.
While we have never managed to make things easy on ourselves, it is safe to say that we have always found common ground in our love of music.
And though we may not be together, you can look forward to hearing new music from each of us.

The music we have made together is our gift to you. From this point on, The Academy Is… belongs to you. Feel free to listen. Listen as loud as you’d like.

Yours,
The Academy Is…

…like we didn’t see this coming?
