Many punk rock musicians and singers (i.e. Tony, Joey Cape, Nikola Sarcevic) strip things down and do a bare bones solo album. Many of them do it acoustically, which I don’t mind since I like that music as well. Tony Sly has been the frontman for No Use For A Name for about 20 years now and shows no signs of slowing down. To break up the norm, he does acoustic folk albums like this one, “12 Song Program.”

Cokie the Clown is the latest EP from NOFX. Well I guess I shouldn’t call this “latest” since this was released back in November 2009. Hey, I’m a busy guy ok! Anyway, Cokie the Clown’s album cover features Fat Mike looking like a clown, with Alice Cooper eyes. The music video is amusing because Fat Mike squirts all his friends with exploding powdered dust. I know I’d be pissed if that happened to me but what are you gonna do, its Fat Mike.

The Real McKenzies will release Shine not Burn, their highly anticipated, intimate, bare bones, full acoustic album this summer, sometime in June I believe! The album again will be on Fat Wreck Chords and I’m looking forward to it. It’s a live album, but done acoustically which I like when bands strip away the loudness and just play a bare bones show. See what the band had to say after the break:

Fat Wreck Chords has been around since 1990, and they are celebrating their 20th anniversary a little early. They released the album in December 2009 so they jumped the gun a bit. I’m okay with that since they are celebrating the label with a kick-ass 3-disc compilation featuring classic Fat songs, as well as rare demos and songs from the Fat Club series!
