Lead vocalist Rob Chaos is also co-owner of SOS Records with Ezzat Soliman, owner of the Showcase Theater, having released albums by classic Punk and Oi! bands like The Exploited, Vice Squad, Sham 69, Conflict, The Adicts and Abrasive Wheels among others.

For many decades now, the "riot gun" shotgun has been often viewed as the quintessential preparedness arm for defense of hearth and home during civil unrest and related. Often simple, effective, reasonably priced, and available in even the most restrictive states, it isn't difficult to see why...

So, my beloved and I are up in Eugene for the very wacky cocktail party, of sorts. Alas, this one was not nearly as delightful as the last one, though we had fun together. There will be other antics in the summer months, including trips farther north, so other adventures are on the way, but I...
