D.I.Y. b y At r e y a A big part of the local and DIY scenes in any part of the world, I think, is the inclusive nature of the shows. The resounding theme of the scene is that music is for everyone, and no one should feel left out. More specifically, no one should be left out because of what year they happened to be spat into the Earth in a stream of guts. All-ages shows mean a lot of things for everyone involved, not just the attendees. Most venues that have all-ages shows won?t serve alcohol at the event, which affects everyone from the bands to the promoters. No booze means no bar sales, and no bar sales mean a limited budget. But the point of the DIY scene isn?t to make the most money, and that?s what sets us apart. It?s never about how much money we can make at a show, it?s about how many people we can get to come out and have a good time. Most people over 21 in this scene have taken to pregaming: drinking at home or in the parking lot with friends before shows. If a venue does happen to serve alcohol, there seems to be a clear divide between age groups created incidentally. We?ve all spent time in those taped off areas by the bar, guarded by shitty venue security, watching the show from the sides. Who wants that? If you?ve brought friends that aren?t 21 yet, it?s even worse. That kind of division doesn?t jive well with the ideals of this culture, which is why a good majority of local shows take place at someone?s house. House shows are a staple of DIY culture. Every city has ?the house? that?s known for its frequent and memorable showcases of local talent. Everyone remembers their first time at this house. Talks about the things that happen there seem to never end. After a while, stories of parties at this house become like legends told to all the newcomers to make sure they understand exactly where they?re going and what this place means to the scene. Rules are typically seen as blasphemy to the majority of people in this culture, but respecting the space is a rule that?s always enforced. Causing problems at a house could mean no more shows, and no more shows means no more scene.

Here in Ventura County, there?s a house hidden up in the Orange Groves off highway 126: Asher?s House. Bands and show-goers from all over Southern California have ventured up to this house in the middle of nowhere for shows on any given night of the week. There?s an abandoned house with broken windows and writing on the walls just down the dirt road, plenty of space (We?ve packed about 150 people in his backyard before!), and an understanding that as long as property isn?t destroyed and no one parks in front the yellow house, we can party as loud and as long as we want. All-ages are accepted, and recently that?s been taken to another level.
The last couple Asher shows have opened their doors to a few kids, for lack of a better term. They couldn?t have been older than 14 at most. No one knew who they were or how they had heard of the show, but we were happy to have them. They showed up with huge black X?s on their hands and a roaring enthusiasm just to be in the company of so many people in the scene they are so clearly striving to be a part of. Every band had them standing at the front, holding their own against the pit forming in front of them, and even joining in at some points.
I know there have been a lot of disappointing accusations against people in this scene that many of us admire. It?s hard to keep up hope that we?re doing the right thing by throwing these shows and creating our own music that draws influence from people that don?t have the morals we thought they had. But there?s something about watching these teenagers being both treated as equals in the pit and also being protected by the crowd around them that keeps that fire burning. It?s almost like looking at a time machine that brings you back to your very first house show, wherever that may have been. It?s important for us to remember where we started in this scene. No matter where we are now or how far we?ve come, we have to pave the way for the generations after us. We must set the example.

Al bum Revi ew: FULL CI RCLE by DAEPHNE BY HUGH SCHMIDT Dæphne w as a heavy i ndi e rock band from Boston, Massachusetts w ho announced they w ere goi ng on hi atus on Apri l 20th, 2017. Seei ng the new s on facebook , m y heart fell. Dæphne w ere, to m e, the Boston band. If som eone asked m e w hat bands they should check out from MA, Dæphne w ere alw ays the fi rst one I?d recom m end. I say thi s, because Dæphne released the m ost i m portant i ndi e rock record of m y li fe. And not only i s i t the m ost i m portant and i nfluenti al record on m e as a person, but i t?s also, w i thout a doubt, fuck i ng perfect. People w ho k now m e k now that I don?t throw shi t li ke that around. I am not fuck i ng around w hen I say thi s. Every song on thi s EP i s i m m aculately w ri tten, perform ed, and recorded. There i s nothi ng about thi s record anyone could change to m ake i t better. I?ve li stened to i t at least a few ti m es a m onth si nce I di scovered i t, shortly after i ts release i n Novem ber 2015. I haven?t gotten si ck of i t. I don?t thi nk I ever w i ll. Full Ci rcle i s ei ght track s of grunge i nfluenced i ndi e rock that are all absolutely i ncredi ble. Every song sti rs a feeli ng of nostalgi a w i thi n m e, w here I feel li ke m y heart i s bei ng torn out of m y chest w i th exci tem ent and despai r at the sam e ti m e. The bass fi lls on thi s are m elodi c, the drum s are ti ght and exactly w here they need to be, w i th the gui tars alternati ng betw een beauti ful pi cked leads and anthem i c dow npi cked pow er chords. Alexa?s voi ce i s nothi ng short of gorgeous, deli veri ng lyri cs that convey real em oti onal struggle but w i th a ?goddam m i t w e?re getti ng better? quali ty to them that m akes Full Ci rcle so upli fti ng.
Dæphne i s nothi ng short of a Boston i ndi e rock supergroup. Thi s EP features vocali st Alexa Johnson, bassi st Laura Brogan, gui tari st Ryan Hi ggi ns, and drum m er Juli an Berosh. The li st of bands they play i n (Palehound, Dum p Hi m , Honeym ooner, Baja Blasters, Banana) and have played i n (Bri ght Red Reason, The Daydream Im pressi on, Ri ctus Gri n, Sexy Coyote, The Mi chael Character, etc) i s fuck i ng ri di culous. They?re som e of the hardest w ork i ng people i n MA i ndi e rock and i t show s: thi s i s a record m ade by people at the top of thei r gam e. Full Ci rcle defi ned hi gh school for m e, and no other release m akes m e feel the w ay i t does. The gui tar solo i n ?Peach? i s so absolutely beauti ful that w henever i t com es on I have to stop w hatever I?m doi ng and just li sten. I can?t thi nk of a band that sounds li ke Dæphne.

T U RN IN G YOU R HOU S E IN T O A D .I.Y. V EN U E b y J a c k Ro b in s o n On November 27th , I was worried. ?W here are we going to fit all these people? W ill anything get destroyed? W ill the police get called on us?? These were the questions I was asking myself as I prepared for what was going to be the first show at my house. We had one headliner under the name of Machinegirl, and two opening acts named Spigot Licker, and Emoji Death Threat playing in what was to be the span of about 3-4 hours. To start the preparation for the show, all the furniture was aptly moved out of way in the living room to provide a space to dance/ mosh. Our dining room (which had been converted into a studio since I had moved in) was turned into the stage for the performers of the night, my roommates and I had also soundproofed the wall that was closest to our neighbors so that we wouldn?t be disturbing them (especially since the show was at 10 PM). The front door was closed off with a bed and recliner so that everyone attending were to enter through the back, and we?d have no one smoking on the porch to cause attention to the local authorities, which are everyone?s favorite party killers (of course). The fridges were stocked with beer, and other party favors were prepared as well. By the time the first show had hit, everything was going on better than we had planned, and everything was going off with a hitch. All the performers had taken a soundcheck, the audience for the evening had arrived, and I was taking a quick breather after setting everything up. I walked into the living room, my roommate was warming the audience up with some djing before we all set off on this adventurous night, not knowing what was to lay in store for the evening. Spigot Licker hopped onto the living room with fury, playing tracks from their own repertoire. They mixed a nice blend of rap, some soul, and some extra hype, playing their new single, Myrtle beach Ikea. W hen Myrtle beach Ikea came on, the room immediately started shaking and the first mosh pit of the night broke out. From what started as a lovely low-key set, devolved into the first bit of madness for everyone.
17.
W ith a quick set up, Emoji Death Threat kept up the energy of the previous set of Spigot Licker, as he started mixing various genres. Switching up the vibes constantly, there was no knowing what he was going to do next. From what I heard, he played house tracks, his own material, which was a fusion of breakcore, drum and bass, and happy hardcore. For his final track he surprised the crowd when he dropped a PC music remix of Bring me to life by evanescence. The living room was grooving the whole time, and the only thing that threw off the whole set was the photographer accidentally stepping on the cord connecting the laptop to the speakers. Luckily, the accident was fixed super-fast and everyone got back into the music. Around 11:30-12am, Emoji Death Threat had finished his set, and Machinegirl was ready to take the stage. The second they started toying around with the crowd, you could feel the room starting to simmer, in what would eventually become a chaotic boil engulfing the house. This lead to the second mosh pit of the night, and eventually what would define the set as a whole. Loud electronic music came bubbling from the first two minutes to the rest of their set. The lead for Machinegirl was not only using his laptop to mix, but adding vocals to create another layer, in what would sound like a cyberized hell warped into a black hole, devouring anything that would be set in its sights. The drummer for Machinegirl gave me a reminiscence of what it was like to go to a hardcore show the first time. Pounding drums that gave depth and an added dose of reality to the mixing and vocals added to the show. They played for what felt like an eternity, and when it was over it became quiet like the storm had ended. By this time, a few people had left, and the moshing had beaten me to the thinnest of pulp. We thanked everybody for coming out, and decided to close up the house for the night, luckily nothing was ruined and it seemed like everyone had a good time.
