Frank Turner played a headline show Wednesday night in Asbury Park, NJ at Asbury Lanes. I believe it was his first sold-out show in the United States? There’s a few clips of the show on YouTube, which you can watch after the break. You can still catch Frank opening for Flogging Molly on the Green 17 tour. ReadJunk.com will have a review and photos from the show at the Hammerstein Ballroom show Tuesday night. In the meantime, check out the videos below:

December 1st brought the final installment in the Bouncing Souls’ “song of the month” series. “Never Say Die / When You’re Young,” three chords and a message to end the year with.

Find the truth inside, express it, and never give up. Check out the song here!

Terminal 5 is the worst venue in NYC but The Gaslight Anthem rocked the house last night! Seriously, Terminal 5 is horrible for the sound and the layout if my opinion counts for anything. T5 makes it hard to hear anything unless you are directly in front of the stage on any level. Yet the unlucky group of fans don’t get to hear as well when we’re blocked by pillars and platforms.

Oscar nominated film, starring the comeback kid; Mickey Rourke in an once-in-a-lifetime role playing Randy “The Ram” Robinson is now out on DVD and Blu-Ray, and what an excellent film it is. Co-starring Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood, the film is about how one wrestler struggles to keep the fame around him 20 years later from his world famous wrestling match at Madison Square Garden. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, The Wrestler is low budget, and has that Indie feel when watching the film. A compelling story and excellent casting make The Wrestler one of the last year’s top films.
