This will be a place where you will find info about upcoming punk punk/oi punk/ska shows and punk events in Baltimore (and the surrounding area).
This is slanted towards punk . punk rock that is. A bit of hardcore too, but mostly punk. We'll probably fuck up and list shows we shouldn't list, and miss shows we shoulda listed - but this aint about being perfect - it's about getting the word out. Submit your Baltimore area shows here. PUNK BANDS - USE US TO GET THE WORD OUT . Feel free to submit show reviews too. We needs your help here, send us your upcoming PUNK shows - we don't always have time to look at all the band and venue schedules (and we aint psychics!) (SEND US THE INFO IN TEXT FORM VIA MSG so we can CUT & PASTE! - it's your show so lift a finger!)
Bands: looking for a drummer? Flute player? We will repost your bulletins at your request - msg us.

If we can't figure out if you're band is punk, we probably won't list your show (we're dense at times).
If we can't figure out if you're band is punk, we probably won't approve your friend request (beware of the bot). If you list in your "style" EMO, then we probably won't approve your request.
If you're an indie, pop rock, metal, etc band list your shows here:

2/27/07 IMPORTANT NOTE TO OUR READERS: We give no "seal of approval" to any of the bands or shows depicted on this profile. We attempt to present punk or punk/ska shows such as we are aware of. We rely significantly on input from bands and some "readers" also give us info about shows. We expect that you the reader will use your own mind to decide if a "punk band" or "punk show" lines up with your punk ethos. We're not here to think for you. We will surely list shows with "punk bands" for which the only thing punk about them is the music. While the current gutterstaph strongly disagrees with bands that are not "punk" in substance but only in "appearance", we're not here to investigate bands - that's where you come in, that is in the thinking for yourself department. Part of the old punk thing is to think for yourself (among other things) So get on with it - think for yourselves - you're all too old to be spoon fed anymore. ;-)
If you think we fucked up in any way - tell us! Leave it as a comment! (we won't delete it). Criticism has the potential to make this thing better - We appreciate all input. OFFICIALLY: We don't take this thing too seriously.
We reserve to the right to mock shows for any reason. One thing we think is complete BS is when an act comes to town and there are no local bands on the bill. Yeah, that's an example.
