In the current, ongoing series of ‘Archie Comics,’ The Archies cross paths with real-life indie and punk bands like Tegan & Sara, Speedy Ortiz, CHVRCHES, and Blondie. Each issue has an awesome accompanying playlist, and the issues are littered with hat-tips to bands the creators love, like Title Fight, Hop Along, Joyce Manor, Against Me!, Jeff Rosenstock, Converge, Blur, Black Flag, Waxahatchee, Superchunk, and so much more…

C’el Revuelta, who played bass in Black Flag in 1986 (and during their brief 2003 reunion), has passed away. Henry Rollins confirmed the news…

The book features interviews with HR and other Bad Brains members, plus members of Black Flag, Cro-Mags, Guns N’ Roses, Deftones, The Roots, Ian MacKaye, and more.

Four NYC-area dates included.
