About this blog

My name is Dave, and I grew up in Minnesota listening to the many punk & hard core bands that I'm featuring here. More important though, is that I'm not just posting the stuff that like, but I'm making an attempt to document every band that had something to do with the punk scene in Minnesota. From your Husker Du & Replacements to Dirt Poor & the Kung Fools. Bands that played bars, and bands that played basements and garages. I'd like it all represented here. I'd also like your help. I can't possible do it all by myself, so if you want to see something here, let me know. If you see something on the net that deserves a mention here, let me know. If you'd like to contribute, let me know. If you are in a band that I've posted here, and you want your stuff removed, just ask, and it will be removed. Most of my posts are links to other people's posts. Some of it is from my personal record collection. It is my intent to only post stuff that you can not otherwise buy. Long out of print stuff. If I link to stuff that is in print, I will try to include a link to actually purchase it. That won't happen very often though, since I try to post only stuff that I know to be out of print. If the band has an official website, I'll try to post a link to it. If I get something wrong, or you'd like to contribute something, let me know. All I ask is that you enjoy the crap I post and if you have any suggestions, send me an email at: webbastard at mnpunk.com

Fabulous pop-punk from their first CD on Bosstuneage

360 Club

From their second full length, also on Bosstuneage

I gotta admit, I don’t know much about this band other than they had quite possibly the nicest guy on the planet in the band.  Of course, I’m talking about Jason Knudson.  I knew enough to buy both of thier records, but I’m not sure if I ever saw them play live.

Pocket Genius were from Mankato & Minneapols if I remember correctly.  This would have been Jason’t post-Porcelain Boys band.  Pocket Genius has also recently reformed, although without jason.  You can check them out at their website , or you can find Jason here .

    Hey, thanks for writing about us! PG started out in 1999-2001, played for a few years then went on hiatus due to different life situations. In 2008 we got things rolling again, brought back original bass player Jeremy Bergo, who previously was playing with Samiam. As far as drummers, Jason was stoked to play but is already playing in 2 other bands, singing in Captain Eleven and playing drums in Black Flag cover band Revenge. Word has it he is drumming in another new band, Old Town Ghosts, can’t wait to hear that. Jason passed the stixx to our good buddy David Jarnstom, who currently plays with Attention. Pocket Genius have some shows coming up this summer and have a whole bunch of new songs. And yes, that love bites song is unreleased, that’s just me dickin around. Thanks again for the post!
