Baxie speaks to the man who single handedly created the Punk/New Wave and avant-garde music scene in Chicago, Jim Skafish! Truthfully, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Skafish were to Chicago what the Ramones were to New York. 

Sadly, the music of Skafish had been out of print and largely unavailable for the last 40 years. That is until now as Jim is finally releasing these masterpieces after years of fighting to obtain the master tapes. This is an incredible story. And this may be one of the most amazing episodes that I’ve ever recorded! Available on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website!

LYRICS:

CORRUPTED BY THE SYSTEM
WE WERE NEVER FREE
IF YOU WANT TO EXIST

FUCK THE COUNTRY
AND THE SENATOR
ALL YALL ASS KNOW

RUIN THE WHOLE FUNCTION 
ITS NOT A THING TO ME
I JUST WANNA SEE THE WHOLE WORLD BLEED

TIME TO WAKE UP
SATAN BLESS AMERICA 
FROM THE COAST OF FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA

WE THE PEOPLE
NEED TO TAKE CONTROL
GRAB YOUR LOCAL POLITICIAN 
AND STUFF HIM IN A HOLE
WE CANNOT LET THEM TAKE OUR SOULS
FIGHT AGAINST THE SYSTEM 
WHERE MOST OF US WONT GO
TIRED OF THESE BULLSHIT LIARS
WISH THEY ASS WOULD GO RETIRE
BETTER YET JUST GO EXPIRE
PYROMANIC PLAY WITH FIRE
TIME IS NOW THIS SHIT GET DIRE
IM A GOD WONT SERVE NO SIRE
CHURCH OF SATAN QUICK REMINDER
RAISING HELL I PREACH THE CHOIR

SATAN BLESS AMERICA

(Ep. #118) Jim Skafish from Skafish/Interview

I used to be in this band, LaFea and we did a cover of one of my favorite PEGBOY songs that was supposed to go onto the Pegboy tribute comp that Underground Communique was going to put out.  Unfortunately it didn't make the already crowded compilation, which is fine.  The band broke up shortly after recording this anyway.

Hard Light (Pegboy Cover)

Bussy Kween Power Trip is B on vox, K on Bass, & D on Drums. Some Black Chicago shit

When you hear Boybrain you'll wonder how a voice that sounds like it's been gargling razor blades and whiskey can come from such a compact package. Patti (The Dials, New Black, Ratattack) returns with her new baby; a snarling pissed off baby reminiscent of 1980s Punk with a touch of woven in melody. Joining her on lead guitar is Inga (Wanton Looks) folding in a string of catchy virtuosic leads that she has become so well known for. A man in demand, drummer Colin of Propane! Propane! and formerly Boys on Trial has found his home in this band of piss and vinegar. On bass, Jonny, originally from Detroit and formerly of Lost Sounds adds energy with the perfect amount of grit. Boybrain's debut EP "In The Company Of Worms" was released 2/22/22. Boybrain's latest single "Cayo Hueso" dropped
6/28/2023.
