=== Trial By Fire record released after 35 years ===

[[Image:TBF-1982.jpg|left|85px]]

Although it was recorded in [[1982]], [[Trial By Fire]]'s record was never released at the time. After thirty five years [[Alona's Dream Records]] finally gave it a formal release. The sounds holds up today and could very well have been the first hardcore record from a Chicago band. You'll notice many songs that have been done by other bands, including the famous opener to [[Naked Raygun]]'s ''Vanilla Blue''. Do yourself a favor and [http://shop.alonasdreamrecords.com/album/1982 buy a copy from Alona's Dream], you won't regret it.

=== Podcast on Big Black's Atomizer ===

[[Image:BigBlack-Atomizer.jpg|left|85px]]

[[John Pierson]] (aka Jughead from [[Screeching Weasel]]) and [[Russ Forster]] did a fantastic podcast on [[Big Black]]'s ''Atomizer'' record. It has interviews with [[Santiago Durango]], [[Steve Albini]], [[Camilo Gonzalez]] and [[Jeff Pezzati]] on the beginnings of Big Black and how that record came to be. The ''Jugheads Basement'' podcast previously focused on such groundbreaking 80s Chicago records as [[Naked Raygun]]'s [[Throb Throb]] and Screeching Weasel's ''[[My Brain Hurts]]''. Unfortunately, the website hosting it no longer exists.

Rob Warmowski

2019-09-07T21:27:30Z

Petdance: Add Rob's obit

'''Rob Warmowski''' was the founding bassist and lead singer for [[The Defoliants]] who were active from [[1984]] to [[1989]]. In [[1985]] the band (Rob, [[Chuck Uchida]] and [[Jeff Cohn|Jeff "BBQ" Cohn]]) released a cassette called "Now How Much Would You Pay For It?", a 7" EP titled "Hang Ten" in [[1987]] on Chicago label [[Pravda Records]], and a LP titled "Grrr" on the Berlin label Angry Fish Music in 1989. <br>

In [[1991]], Rob founded Buzzmuscle with [[Greg Dunlap]], [[Dave Schleitwiler]] of [[Bhopal Stiffs]] and Brian Gay of [[Savage Beliefs]]. That band broke up in [[1994]] after releasing two 7"s ("Assembler/33 Degrees" and "Comedian / 12 Step") as well as winning graphic design honors by the US National Design Museum / Smithsonian for the "Assembler" package. Buzzmuscle completed but did not release an LP named "Stayeth". <br><br>
In 2000, Rob appeared on Califone's second self-titled EP released on RoadCone records. Rob also played bass on the theme music for the 1997 TV comedy show "Upright Citizen's Brigade" as part of a combo named "The Real Welders". Between 1999 and 2002, Rob worked for the small Chicago independent label Perishable Records, art-directing and project-managing label projects including Califone, Fruit Bats, The Fire Show, Frontier and many others. <br><br>
In 1999, Rob founded the surf-noir band [http://sanandreasfault.bandcamp.com San Andreas Fault] with guitarist Pete Machine and a rotating cast of musicians. Appearing on bills with instrumental rock guitar legends Link Wray and Dick Dale, in 2003 SAF released the 90% instrumental album "Encantada", tracks of which appear on numerous television programs and radio stations. Work began in late 2012 on a second San Andreas Fault full-length for 2013 release. <br><br>
In 2007, Rob founded [http://sirs-chicago.com SIRS], a band with vocalist Chris Kreb, who left that year. In 2008 SIRS released the 7" "Billy The Kidney / Fast Eddie and Curtis" on the Unicut Records label. SIRS included drummer Mike Greenlees ([[Blatant Dissent]] / [[Tar]]) and bassist Tony Jones (Sixteen Tons) with Rob on guitar and vocals. In August 2011, SIRS released the [http://sirs.bandcamp.com 4-song 12" EP "Boo Hoo"]. Mike Greenlees has since left, replaced on drums by Andy Kosinski. <br><br>
In 2013, SIRS released the full-length "High Minors". The record includes guest appearances by [[John Haggerty]] of [[Naked Raygun]] / [[Pegboy]] and Thymme Jones of [[Cheer-Accident]]. <br><br>
With animator Heather Smith, he created, wrote, directed, voice-acted, scored and engineered the online web comedy cartoon series "Officer Bob" in 2008.
Rob now records as [http://soundcloud.com/allende Allende] and works as an independent technical and creative writer, producer and educator. He is also a contributor to the sports website [http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/ Can't Stop The Bleeding], writing mainly about the Chicago White Sox.

In 2013, Rob and San Andreas Fault were commissioned by Chicago's Redmoon Theatre to compose the music for the Winter Pageant show, a Bollywood/surf production with 40 dancers, giant robotic vehicles and live performance by the Fault.

In 2014 The Fault released the 7" single "Blowne Leafe" b/w "Voight-Kamff"

In 2018, The Fault released a six song EP entitled "Black Ribbon", recording by Andy Gerber (Local H. Smoking Popes)

Rob passed away suddenly on September 1, 2019 at the age of 52. Rob was a longtime contributor to this site and a lifetime contributor to this scene. We love you Rob...

Petdance: fix spelling of McGregor's

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
== The Chicago Punk Database ==

This site intends to be a collections of bands, members, labels etc. for the Chicago punk scene. This page specifically focuses on the earlier Chicago scene - though there is no formal cutoff date, the information on this page pretty much focuses on Chicago punk before [[1990]]. If you have content to add for the early-to-mid 90s feel free to contribute. All you have to do to add pages is create an account and start making pages. [http://punkdatabase.com/wiki/index.php/ChicagoPunk:About Click here] for more info on how to edit pages.

There are '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles in the database, most of which are small and need more information. Some suggestions to get started - add a link to an unlisted band on left-hand side of this page, go to a band's page and add members/instruments, fix any spelling errors, or create new page about your favorite Chicago Punk record. Anything you can add will help tremendously, so please contribute today!

=== RIP Iain Burgess and Rick Ponce ===

[[Image:IainBurgess.jpg|left|85px]]

In early February 2010, Chicago long two vital and longtime contributors to their music scene. Engineer [[Iain Burgess]] is often created with crediting the "Chicago Sound" and recorded just about every Chicago band you can think of in the 1980s. [[Rick Ponce]] had been playing guitar and attending punk/metal shows consistently from the 1980s until his death. Both men died of issues related to cancer, R.I.P. Rick and Iain</td>

Thanks to everyone who helped punkdatabase reach 500 unique pages (which for the record was the [[Insane War Tomatoes]]). Pretty damn remarkable when I think about it. There's still a lot of work to be done, especially with regards to venues and some of the more obscure bands. Please keep on contributing and lets see if we can hit a cool 1000! -Gantry

'''The Defoliants''' were a Chicago punk band from [[1984]] to [[1990]]. They played a bunch of shows for that time, typically opening up for larger Chicago bands such as [[Naked Raygun]].

The final Defoliants show was at [[McGregor's]].
