YouTubers trying their hand at music is a tale as old as time, and Matt Watson is no different as he just released his debut album on November 7th. Watson’s claim to fame is being one half of gaming duo SuperMega alongside Ryan Magee and getting knocked out in 22 seconds in a celebrity fight. But the difference between Matt Watson and most YouTubers who try to make music is Watson's experience.

The night was chilly as The Magic City geared up for another October night filled with students barhopping, families enjoying the city’s fine dining, and, of course, concert goers excited to see their favorites perform in Birmingham’s raging punk scene. Though the only sounds that engulfed my ears included horns honking off of I20, the ever present hum from Alabama’s endless insect population, and the patter of my own feet against the cool sidewalk. The energy of Brian Sella and Matt Uychich awaiting to perform in front of hundreds of adoring fans rang through in the air.

Notorious Orange County experimental-punk group The Garden took a stop in Atlanta on the tour of their latest album HORSESHIT ON ROUTE 66 this past Tuesday, October 11, and I had the pleasure of seeing it live. For those unfamiliar, The Garden is composed of a pair of twin brothers, Fletcher and Wyatt Shears, who release solo music under the monikers Puzzle and Enjoy respectively. The Garden takes elements and concepts familiar to the California punk scene, and fuse them with 21st century electronic instrumentation, with a focus that is frequently restricted to drums and bass only, backed up by synthetic melodies and samples. There has truly never been a band quite like The Garden, particularly given their Kiss-esque stage theatrics and face painting paired with the eccentric neo-punk. Their past 3 records (not accounting for the various demos and bedroom mixtapes they released from 2011-2014) have each displayed a sound unique to band, whilst still standing apart from each other. Many of the tracks remain true to the punk trope of “3 minutes is too long,” with other songs containing more melodic undertones that can reach around 4 minutes. This latest record is no different, and I would argue that it is in fact their most “punk sounding” LP to date, given the synth injections and melodic choruses are kept to a minimum, if not absent all together on a few songs. The band describes their music as “Vada Vada,” which essentially is the highest degree of experimentality and intends to ignore all genre-based conventions. Obviously, it is pretty much impossible to truly make music that is 100% original and uncapable of being categorized, especially when one uses the standard major-minor key format that dominates western music. To me, “Vada Vada” is much more a mentality, and its one that Wyatt and Fletcher certainly live by. One that states, "either enjoy and appreciate what we’re doing, or get the hell out of the way."
