Crust Punks, Basement Shows, & Tech-House.

8/30/2026

I've een super busy since the last news-blog update. I shot photos at the Drop Dead show at Ralph's Rock Diner in Worcester on August 23rd. WarCastle, D.O.D, Troll Milk, and Agonista opened. Incredible energy all around. Every set had the crowd jumping. You can find most of the photos on the Bughead Instagram with a few cheeky extras on the Patreon. I'd like to get the public shots onto the website, but my plan has limited storage space and I would like to make the high quality versions available. Maybe I'll just let you freaks download a zip file.

Speaking of shows D.O.D played, their performance from April is out now!!! D.O.D LIVE in the Dungeon is a full 18 minute set of blisteringly fast hardcore-punk shot in the sweatiest basement Worcester Massachusetts has to offer. I was lucky enough to have my friends Dalton from Crawling Hand Magazine and Marci of WarCastle and Upside Records fame to help with a second camera angle and audio recording. Go watch it, leave a comment, subscribe, and send it to all your friends. I'm really happy with how this one came out.

Lastly, I joined Boston based DJ "Chelita" last Thursday, shooting some clips of her set at BSMNT. Long time Bug-Heads will know I used to be a big raver, so this is kind of a return to form for me. Expect an edit from the night soon!

I've been slacking on my Bughead duties almost all Summer. I was too caught up in dumb bullshit like "advancing my career." The job market is awful and I went to art school so it hasn't been easy. It hasn't been succesful either. I got a job and was laid off in under 2 months! I've worked for startups that run out of money, but this is a new record!

Anyway! Bay of Pigs covered World Eater by Bolt Thrower at their last set out in Worcester back in July. The cover (which is actually just the opening riff of World Eater leading into their new song WAGE GAP) is up on YouTube, and the full set is up on Patreon next to even more archival footage.

It's been a while...

Holy shit I haven't updated the site in a minute. The right sidebar was gone when I opened the site this morning and it took me an hour of troubleshooting to discover that it was my adblocker removing any image with "ad" in it's file name.

Now what have I been up to? A lot actually. The latest Bughead Media documentary should be dropping soon. I finally finished editing all the footage from Northern Hell Kult's Crustmas-Fest last December and the final result is a tight 45 minutes of interviews and performances. If you liked the goofy bullshit in S.P.D.F you'll like this one. Keep an eye out for it.

I'm already deep into 2 other large scale projects. One is a skate video that I have been shooting for the last 2 summers, which will hopefully drop this fall. The other one I ain't even gonna talk about until it's basically done. The metamorphosis from web-content producer to indie-film-production-house is basically done. I no longer want to make content that you scroll by in an instant. Big moves only.

Lastly I'm launching a Patreon! Times are tough, and I do need money to keep making cool stuff. I'm currently uploading a bunch of raw footage to the feed to give people something to snack on, and will get a proper video about it up once it's got enough meat to it.

Blowing glass & Smoking grass

JudgeXJudy's set from Weed Violence 2026 is out now. If it isn't directly below the news give it like 2 scrolls max and it'll be there. Always a blast getting to shoot the JXJ gang! While at Weed Violence I tabled next to Arm Glassworks and we got to talking about shooting some video. The reels we made will all be on his instagram, and I plan on making a post here on the site archiving them all once we're finished with the first batch.

Oh yeah I shot a really good crust show in Worcester last month. It's still a long way away from coming out, so I won't spoil too much, but this is some sick fucking footage big dawg. Keep an eye out for a whole lot of Worcester basement footage this summer.

They can take your favorite movie off Netflix, but the man can't take the SPDF out of your DVD.

Speed Punk Dead Fuck VHS Tapes are finally up in the shop. I had a few leftover and need them out of my apartment!

That's all the new news right now. As far as old news still have some previously discussed projects still in the works.

ROACH Video

I think I spilled my load early announcing this one. The employees over at the funeral home housing the corpse of ROACH are still getting the late bands affairs in order, and it is obvious that the process is much longer than I had understood. My apologies to the 1, maybe 2 people who have been following that through this news column.

Crustmas Documentary

Still working on that animated intro, but having fun with it. I wonder how much of the final product needs to be animated for it to get on Newgrounds?

Crawling Hand Zine

Me and Dalton over at Crawling Hand have confirmed a few skateboarding related interviews. Should be sick. I'm hoping I can swing a job at Transworld off of this.

I think that's enough fluffing this ad for VHS tapes. Go buy one, and thanks for visiting Bughead.org.

The Bughead Podcast Spotify page is officially dead. I didn't really see a purpose in paying $15 a month on the RSS feed for a show I don't do anymore. You can still go listen to it here so don't worry. I want to do some kind of audio format show again, but that's gonna need some planning before I drop money hosting it again. Tbh the fact you can't upload a podcast to streaming like you can YouTube is kinda asinine. Fuck spotify.

I might have to plan that audio show sooner than later, because I really don't have any new content for you. ROACH video is still sitting finished on my hard-drive. Just waiting for them to get their final release plan ready. The Crustmas Documentary is coming along slowly. My last documentary, Speed Punk Dead Fuck, was pretty easy to put together in the editing stages. The members of Warcastle are some of my long time besties, and I got close with Mordhau fast. The documentary's focus on specific bands allowed me to let the members explain the context and narrative to the audience themselves. There wasn't a need for narration outside of a few graphics at the start. Once it was time to edit I just had to organize the footage into a 3 act structure, which was pretty easy considering we filmed 3 shows for the doc.

Crustmas was a one day event of bands I mostly hadn't seen before, and no one band was the focus. Now, this isn't a bad thing. The vehicle for exposition just can't be a main character because there isn't one. The only consistent character throughout the footage is me, the observer. Despite my strong dislike of hearing my own voice, I am narrating this one and using multimedia/animation to cover up any gaps in the footage. I haven't mixed my multi-media art with my documentaries in this significant of a manner before, so it will be an interesting expirement. Maybe it comes out great, maybe I'll owe Northern Hell Kult their money back. I've never been a good judge of my own works quality so y'all can tell me when it comes out.

In other news, I'm helping put together some skateboarding content for Crawling Hand Zine. Crawling Hand puts out a solid mag full of art, graffiti, and punk, and it's gonna be real cool to help bring some skating into the mix there. I should really drop another skate video sometime soon.

Don't have much else to say other than that. Go buy something from the shop so I can pay my RSS hosting again one day.

Realising while writing this that making a news post before the site properly launched was probably a waste of time. Oh well, it worked as a place-holder.

Welcome to the official Bughead.org. I've made plenty of websites in the past, but this was my first time getting my hands dirty with HTML. I'm sure you can tell from the simple layout, but I honestly like it better than any wordpress or squarespace pages I made for the failed projects of yesteryear.

The video of ROACH's set in Worcester MA last December is coming out sometime soon. I've had it done for a hot second, just waiting on the band to get their ducks in a row to drop it. This was the bands last show, and it was a fucking ripper. Collapsed Skull outta Pennsylvania, and DC's Drivel were on tour together and played the first two sets. I hadn't heard of either band, but they've both found a home in my grindcore/powerviolence/crust/etc. playlist. Easy recommend on both of them.

Baltimore PV legends Sinister Feeling followed that up with a set that caused more violence than I had ever seen in a room that small. I was standing 2 rows back and somehow still caught a few blows. The pit could not be contained by bullshit man-made concepts like "circles" or "perimeters." It was a kind of chaos you don't get to see at every show, but is always a joy when you do.

My good friends in ROACH went on after that, but I'll let the video speak for itself when it comes out. I'll write about that set in more detail when the video drops. You can purchase ROACH's first and final album as a cassette through Baby Chico Records, or Digitally on Bandcamp.

In other news, now that the site is up I'm heavy into the post-production for the Crustmas 3 documentary. Saving the thoughts on the event for the doc itself, but it's felt good to sink my teeth into a long form project again.

Well, that's about it I guess. If you'd like to support the Bughead entity, consider buying a pin from the shop. Or better yet, buy the $2 digital copy of the photozine from last year. All profits from it go to LUCE Immigrant Justice Network.

First news post on the new Bughead.org! It's a free neocities site, but at least the url I pay $12 a year for no longer links to a link-tree page.

Anyhow, December was a busy month for me. I shot the last Roach set at a house show over in Worcester MA, and Crustmas up in Holden ME. I'll keep it 100 with you.The first month of 2026 was a lazy af. I did manage to finish editing the Roach set. Sad to see the band go, but the video came out awesome and will be out soon. You'll see the Crustmas footage later this year. And lastly Speed Punk Dead Fuck movie posters are available through Northern Hell Kult. Check the label out under the "Friends of Bughead" tab!
