PUNK ROCK E-ZINE

About Me


WE ARE NOT A BAND! CHECK OUT THE BLOG ABOVE THIS SECTION, THIS IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR CONTENT IS LOCATED. The Black & Blue Press is a e-zine devoted to the underground music scene. The B&B is much like a conventional zine, except for our means of distribution (IE Myspace @ this juncture). Our reasoning behind creating and maintaining The Black & Blue is simple. With the introduction of big money into the scene, punk has lost not only it's integrity but it's identity as well. We feel this is bullshit. So we set up this DIY page to combat big business's stronghold and take back the music & scene we hold near and dear to our hearts. You may notice the shows listed are for Florida only, sorry this is where the Black & Blue bunker is located and keeping up with all the shows in the world would prove difficult. So thanks for dropping by and drop us a line sometime. Yours Truly, The B&B
