Forsaken Profit$
“Some would call them Punk, or Thrash Punk, or Crossover Thrash, and or Skate Punk. Hell some would even mention they have elements of Rock, and Metal. None of that really matters. Their lyrics hit you hard, like a steel toe boot to the mouth three days from payday, with no money for medical treatment, nothing to do but suck it up, tough it out and question your life choices. That’s what they want. They want you to question everything. They want you to question what you believe and question why you believe it. More importantly, they want you to question what you feel and what you don’t feel and why the hell don’t you feel?
Their lyrics are unapologetically filled and fueled, with and by, rage and anger. They attack the police state, politics, discrimination, oppression, and the status quo. That rage is far from directionless though. It is a rage with purpose, a rage against conformity for conformities sake. That said, they are also some of the nicest people, both the band and those who follow them, you could ever meet. While on stage they might sing about burning your bar or club…the whole world down, off stage they would be the first in line to help you rebuild, should such a calamity occur.”
~~Dave Burkey, Forsaken Profit$ at Pizza Fest
Some Kind Of Nightmare
San Diego’s own full time touring punk rock band, Some Kind of Nightmare, has brought amazing energy, raw sound, and a strong stage presence with them everywhere they perform. In 2013 they quit their jobs, threw out everything they owned, hit the road, and never looked back. The three piece group continues to take on the nation with their message of overcoming struggle and modern social issues, while gaining support and momentum along the way.
