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!
Murder & Mayhem’s Halloween Zine is complete! There’s art by the punk cartoonist Brian Walsby, a horror haiku by Mykel Board, and interviews with Andy from KIFF, Pollute., Geeked, and more mAyhEm! It was completed on Friday the 13th, but I didn’t get to distribute or do the accompanying blog post as I was too busy getting my balls busted and hearing about how much of a sissy I am, but next week, come to Panther Lake as the real og crust punx of Raleigh, throw a rave, with hope to attract our extra terrestrial allies to save us. I don’t know what the fuck I am going on about, but the sexy Samme, the marvelous milf, Miss Mayhem, and myself will be consuming fungi and dancing our sexy asses off. If it’s anything like the last one, it will be wild! So September 21st, join us at Panther Lake in Willow Spring to get fucked up and do fucked up shit. Also look out for more info as Murder & Mayhem is moving, so a mayhem fest must happen either at the Mayhem house or Panther Lake. So stay tuned for the official release of the Halloween Zine and be the first to get it in person next weekend at Panther Lake.
And here’s footage from the last Trance mission:
The links for the zine and comp will be posted by the time we escape this planet. Follow the links in the sidebar for the previous issues.
Hey, if you got some Mayhem in the mail, consider it a promo or first edition. Half of the promo cd's are wrong and the track that's all static is: "Sadlack's Heroes" by the LOUTS, so at least I only fucked up Murder & Mayhem's stuff and not anyone important. But, "Sadlck's Heroes" is a great song off The LOUTS / TWO FISTED split 7". It's dedicated to a bar named Sadlack's that was right by the COC house. Slayer Dug would just show up during the day and mosh to no music at all. It was great times; now it's skyscrapers. Fuck this place! Anyway download: THE LOUTS "Sadlacks Heroes" mp3 here on mediafire or you can stream it here: THE LOUTS on audiomack. I'll do you one better and give you the 7" for free art and all; download it here:
OK, the one other mistake was I had the wrong song from a band named: Bödel. Bödel are d-beat from Sweden; they told me that they picked up a copy of the zine. I don't know where the fuck they did that in Sweden, but I am glad that they did. Y'all will enjoy oi oi oi this banger! Please don't ask me how to say this or what it means but listen to: "Ett folkmord till frukost och en kopp kaffe tack" download Ett folkmord till frukost och en kopp kaffe tack promo with mp3 and more here , or if you prefer: stream it here.
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.
NOW, this blog post is a companion to the zine as there are show reviews, a compilation album, and a whole lot of small font, y'all can't read! So go to Sorry State Records, Panther Lake, or other places in the Triangle are and find a zine or send me money on paypay $2 zine only $4 with cd $8 with tape or download the pdf of the zine and the mp3's from mediafire for fucking free, but paper is punker!
The compilation has classic from INEPT; REGURGISTATE; THE DIRTY POLITICIANS; THE LOUTS and returning are THE (un)CIVIL SOCIETY: DEAD STUFF; LONE CREEP; DWIGHT HAWKINS; there's debuts from SHIT TAX; RIVER CITY REJECTS; DEAD BABY BIRTHDAY PARTY, and I am honored to present, BÖDEL and the single, "Bilan Faller" ; BÖDELis Swedish d-beat and who doesn't like that shit? check them out please! BÖDEL www.cramada.se go to their webpageThen there are tracks by famous punks who have been mentioned in the zine b4, as well as a TREY OF TODAY joint. Of course, the cd and tape will have much more; go to https://audiomack.com/treyoftoday/album/summer-zine-comp if you would prefer to stream for free or download all the mp3's here
After you have downloaded the comp and zine This post will fill in the blanks and provide you all the audio and video stimuli you desire.
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:
