Washington, D.C. area indie rock act, Unrest, were a band I first heard about in my teenage years from the inevitable source that most teens in my situation discovered interesting music, MTV’s 120 minutes. Today, that station holds about as much worth as the steamy pile of warm shit I pick up off the [...]

Oh brother, here we go again. another cop flips on a 14-yr old kid for “talking back” to him (basically calling him ‘dude’) and throws the kid to the ground. I just can’t believe how angry this man is at a bunch of kids. He’s a city (Baltimore) cop for christ’s sake! [...]
