Since its inception in the 1970’s, the world of Punk Rock has thrived off of the rebellious spirit and tremendous energy of its performers. While high school pop rockers The Uranium Babies bounced through their unique mix of jam rock and hardcore punk, I couldn’t help but harkening back to the day I listened to my first punk record. Though I have admittedly never been a punk, I can, to this day, remember the overwhelming speed, the chugging guitars, and the aggressive boom-BAP-boom-BAP of the drums, and being overwhelmed by the passion. It’s bands like the Uranium Babies, I Hope You Die, and Sparkle Sh*t, (who all recently performed in New Brunswick bar The Court Tavern for an autism benefit), that, 40 years later, keep the spirit of punk alive.
The Uranium Babies opened the show with their own fresh take on the genre. [click to continue….]
