ROUGH IT: It's a free afternoon of local punk at S27 Alehouse with the Roughies (pictured) and more.

In the same way that “all politics is local politics,” it follows that “all punk is local punk.” The great legends of punk music—the DIY Pantheon—are all raised on the same values as the groups in our neighborhoods that keep on holding it down. “Keep music affordable” and “Keep music accessible to young people” are the two main Punk Commandments from which all other values follow. On Saturday, the all-local bill of The Roughies, INFM, 12 Gauge and La Maldita Cruda rock out in one of the most coveted types of shows—the Free All Ages show, doing SJ punk a true service, and melting faces at S27 Alehouse.
