Are you like me and live to be a freak? Do you like to dress like a zombie slut, snort pixie sticks, get pissed drunk, and eat so much candy that Keith Morris has better blood sugar levels than you? Then you must check out the fourth issue of Murder & Mayhem! Usually, Mayhem is 4 punx only, but in the spirit of Samhain, even if you aren't as punk as puke, the zine is still fun! But, please don't think that I sold out like Jared 4skin did with his shitty book Going Down The Punk Rock Highway; the Trey of Today will never let THE LOUTS, be sold on walmart or amazon. The Mayhem Zine is always DIY! So, the Halloween Zine features punks from all genres, ages, and countries! There's interviews with Raleigh legends: punk rock cartoonist, and POLVO member, Brian Walsby! Brian drew a beautiful cover; Walsby's talented! Another longtime Raleigh fuck up, Andy, from KIFF gives us more evidence of his love for KISS. Then there's the young punks keeping alive the tradition COC started: Pollute. and Chapel Hill freaks GEEKED. There's mayhem from a metalhead of HELLWITCH. Poetry including a horror haiku from my master, Mykel Board. I'm glad that piece of shit contributed; can you believe Mykel Board hates Halloween? I mean just read his blog post on the subject. Last year I sent him some candy laced with rat poison and other tricks and treats. He had his scrooge epiphany and contributed a Horror Haiku. There's also the chaos and porn you expect from the brand that bought you DRUNK's NOT DEAD.
Usually, I put links for the free download to the mp3's and pdf of the zine, but y'all are 2 spoiled. I will post a link to the pdf on AnarchoPunk.netsoon, but not here until October. My zine is paper not digital. If you want a paper copy send me $2 or a trade; email TREYOFTODAY@YAHOO.COM for contact; or paypal me. If you want the comp on cd plus bonus trax send me 5 bux or trade. You can here the 13 song track featuring "Elm Street" by Rum Luck, a MISFITS cover by DEAD STUFF, Muder & Mayhem's own horror punk, PSYCHO 13,and a live song by TSOL, you can guess which one at
The Ministers, Martyrs, and Maniacs should be checking their mailboxes for MAYHEM; there are a few at Panther Lake, Chapel of Bones, and maybe some are still at King's, I haven't got down to Sorry State yet, but I will soon. GEEKED is playing at Neptune's in Raleigh on September 26th, and if I don't get abducted by aliens, Mayhem will be there!
Speaking of being abducted by aliens, at the debut MAYHEM last night at Panther Lake, we were visited from the extraterrestrial realm. It's good to see that Brian Walsby's art and Mykel Board's poems are enjoyed intergalactically. See for yourself, they seem to love sAmmEe but who doesn't?
I will post links to the pdf in October as well as other tricks and treats. But until then, I will leave you with live footage from Geeked and Pollute.
The next issue of Murder & Mayhem will be the last! If you want in on this shit, get in touch with me before we slaughter the turkeys! Stay tuned to this blog for more MAYHEM to celebrate Satan's birthday this spooky season and updates on punk shows and other nonsense!
On Friday, the 13th, there will be mAyhEm! Featuring a new genre of poetry: HORROR HAIKU, with one of the greatest haikuist of the 20th Century Mykel Board
There is art by and and interview with the punk rock cartoonist, BRIAN WALSBY! Also featuring interviews with: POLLUTE., GEEKED, RIOT DIVISION, KIFF, and more!
Until then, enjoy oi! Oi! Oi! RIOT DIVISION’s video with the real Wednesday Addams,
The Friday after next will be terrifying! On Friday the Thirteenth, Murder & Mayhem will release its Halloween Zine; featuring interviews with: GEEKED, KIFF, POLLUTE., RIOT DIVISION, and more; plus an original horror haiku from Maximum Rocknroll’s MYKEL BOARD, and art from Brian Walsby. Of course it will also have the usual mayhem that y’all crave.
So in a bit over a week, check your mailboxes, go to Sorry State Records, or check out the remnants of PSYCHO 13, BLOOD RED RIVER play with KIFF at Chapel of Bones in Raleigh on Friday, September 13th.
KIFF is also playing on September 14th, but I will most likely go to the fetish event at the Wicked Witch in Raleigh that night. Though the Vampire Ball might be sexier.
Stay tuned to this blog for more information about the HALLOWEEN ZINE and Murder & Mayhem’s Punk Picnic at Panther Lake.
It took a bit longer than I expected as responsibilities keep us from doing what we like. The zine and compilation album is out now! There's an interview and a haiku from Mykel Board, who the old punks will remember from "You're Wrong" in Maximum Rocknroll. Mykel is a big fan, but he said on his blog that there were no genitals in the last issue; well, Mykel, You're wrong! Look again! If you missed the last issue, "Is Risen," download that issue's pdf here. and see if you can find my junk; it's small.

Mayhem Fest @ Panther Lake; Willow Spring fall '24
Mayhem fest needs performers, vendors, anyone! If y'all are within a day's drive of Raleigh, check out Panther Lake facebooknow you see Panther Lake is a millpond with all we need for a great show. There is a stage, electricity, bathrooms, y'all can camp, we'll cook burgers and tofu dogs, drink beers, and smoke weed, and maybe catch a "foul-mouth bass."
Look seriously, we have fun at Panther Lake; take a look at these next two videos:
Y'all see we party.
But we need punk and hardcore out there. You see Samme, from REGURGISTATE is what makes Panther Lake awesome. Samme was involved in anti racist action; food not bombs; and diy punk for over 30 years. He's got lots on his plate and kids and stuff so cant get out much, so let's bring bands to him! C'mon all you d-beat bands! POLLUTE, y'all would be perfect! Anyone on Sorry State Records or Grave Mistake would be more than welcomed; we'd be honored to have SCARECROW join in the kaos (i think y'all played there b4). Any of you c'mon, bring a tent! Sleep in your van; we'll cook for you and provide beers; if you need gas money, let us know. Serious as fuck MAYHEM FEST! Late Sept / early October, maybe MYKEL BOARD can come down and start some shit. I dunno whoever; c'mon y'all! I know we got lurkers here; maybe it's time for another DIRTY POLITICIANS reunion or maybe Senor 13 can stop being 2 kewl and BLOOD RED RIVER can play by the lake; that would be action-adventure, but they will need to play some PSYCHO 13 or they could gtfo. Seriously, Panther Lake do it for REGURGISTATE; for MAYEM! Only 16 miles from downtown Raleigh, anything goes except racism, sexism, and that bullshit...
Look how fucking awesome Reguristate was:

Alright y’all the next post will announce the official release of Murder & Mayhem’s Punk Rock Zine and comp. Stay tuned!!!
I found a list of shows in North Carolina, titled: “All Things Hard, Harsh & Heavy” compiled by: rstamey@hotmail.com
Whoever they are, they are awesome for doing this. I will definitely make some copies and make sure they are at Panther Lake, Sorry State Records, and whatever other bar or tattoo place I stumble into.
Here’s the list:
One show not listed, which I will be at, with the summer’s issue of Murder & Mayhem’s Zine is on June 12th, in Durham. My two favorite local bands: POLLUTE and GEEKED
Also UPCHUCK! is playing in Durham on July 25th.
& for you PSYCHO 13 fiends, BLOOD RED RIVER is playing the Cave on May 18th, but who the fuck would want to see them when DAIKAIJU is playing two blocks away at the Local 506?
If you want to get a taste of nostalgia before the BLOOD RED RIVER show this weekend, stream Murder & Mayhem’s 4th release: the I Bury the Living ep on audiomack
Please let me know any other shows y'all want me to list on here, and we are trying to book a MAYHEM FEST at Panther Lake in September or October. Any hardcore, punk, metal bands interested in playing near Raleigh and camping, barbecuing, drinking, getting stoned, and spreading subversion and creating chaos, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH! It'll be hella rad, maybe will have performances by Trey of Today, Johnny Wylde, and Rhiannon Revenge! Who knows what can happen in a swamp down south, MAYHEM FEST! needs you, Mayhem se necisita groupos de punk o hardcore para jugar Mayhem Fest en Raleigh.
I have been meaning to update this shit, but I have a life! I've been going to shows, playing bass, catching bass, eating ass, working, twerking, jerking, studying, and getting high! So 4give me and enjoy oi oi oi some videos of some shows that I went to recently. Read the next issue of Murder & Mayhem's Punk Zine 4 show reviews and shit talking! Look for it this summer until then, get high and listen to DAIKAIJU, my new favorite band, I saw them last week on my birthday, they were hella rad and so was NITE-NITE, whose bassist bought me a delicious shot of tequila and then produced a mickey's grenade.
my bud is flame, but on 4/15/2024 in Raleigh,
DAIKAIJU provided the fire
GEEKED was fun as fuck,
what the hell is "egg-punk"
would the Angry Somoans be "egg punk?"
what about the Meatmen?
what ever happened to the word "goofcore?"
Fuck it, I saw GEEKED with TEEN MORTGAGE on 4/6/24, it rocked!
You know who doesn't rock?
The CIRCLE JERKS
I hate K. Morris! But for an unbiased review of the show read Jeff's take in the Sorry State Records' Newsletter on April 8th, 2024, I agree, but for you nostalgic, commercial, and posers, here's some footage:
Unlike the Sorry State shit-workers, I was not comped tix to The ADOLESCENTS show; I had to go sell records to Sorry State, to afford to see Jeff's band, SCARECROW; he treated me honestly and fairly. So if you need some meth or money for a show check out Sorry State in downtown Raleigh; Jeff will treat you well. I will trade shitty POLICE records to see ABSOLUT and DESTRUCT anyday! THis is punk: I will have to go to Sorry State in the next day or two to sell some MISFITS and CRASS so I can see SCARECROW again, with DELETAR!
