1999
June 8, 1999: Pennywise released Straight Ahead via Epitaph Records — a fast, furious, and politically charged album that kept their SoCal skate punk energy burning strong.
🎧 “Greed”
June 8, 1999: The Donnas released Get Skintight via Purple Feather Records — still one of my personal favorites. A perfect blend of punk attitude, glam hooks, and rock n’ roll swagger.
🎧 “Skintight”
2004
June 8, 2004: Ten Foot Pole released Subliminable Messages via Go Kart Records — their last album before the hiatus. Not as brilliant as their earlier work, but still packed with 3-4 solid bangers.
🎧“Kicked Out of Kindergarten”
June 8, 2004: Alexisonfire released Watch Out! — the album that helped define 2000s post-hardcore, blending raw aggression with melody and emotion. A game-changer for the genre and the band.
🎧 “Accidents”
June 8, 2004: My Chemical Romance released Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge — the breakthrough emo-punk album that took them global. Dark, dramatic, and packed with anthems that defined a generation.
🎧 “I’m Not Ok (I Promise)”
June 8, 2004: Bad Religion released The Empire Strikes First via Epitaph — a sharp, politically charged record that found the band in top lyrical form during turbulent times. Urgent, melodic, and still relevant.
🎧 “Los Angeles Is Burning”
2010
June 8, 2010: Off With Their Heads released In Desolation via Epitaph Records — gritty, heartfelt punk rock built on raw honesty and singalong anthems. One of their strongest records.
🎧 “Clear The Air”
