All About The Vandals

The Vandals are an American rock band established in 1980 in Huntington Beach, California. They have released ten full-length studio albums and two live albums and have toured the world extensively, including performances on the Vans Warped Tour. They are well-known for their use of humor, preferring to use their music as a vehicle for entertainment and sarcasm rather than as a platform for more "serious" issues. They are currently recording for Kung Fu Records.
The band's lineup fluctuated significantly over their first nine years, though founding members Steven Ronald Jensen, guitarist Jan Nils Ackermann, and first consistent drummer Joe Escalante remained regular fixtures. Of the early members only Escalante has remained through all subsequent incarnations of the band. The current lineup of Escalante, Dave Quackenbush, Warren Fitzgerald, and Josh Freese has remained intact since 1990 and is generally considered far removed from the band's early 1980s incarnation. Since 2002 Escalante has released all of the band's albums through his Kung Fu Records label, with Fitzgerald generally producing.

Band History
The Vandals formed in 1980 in Huntington Beach, California. Vocalist Steven Ronald "Stevo" Jensen and guitarist Jan Nils Ackermann initiated the group, practicing and performing with a number of other members before the lineup coalesced to include bassist Steve "Human" Pfauter and drummer Joe Escalante. The band quickly built a reputation in the Los Angeles and Orange County punk rock community which also included bands such as Bad Religion, Descendents, Black Flag, TSOL, X, The Germs, Suicidal Tendencies and Social Distortion. The Vandals distinguished themselves in their scene by sticking to humorous subject matter rather than the typical social and political topics addressed by most punk bands of the time.

In 1982 the group became the second band to sign with Epitaph Records, the Los Angeles label run by Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz, who released their first EP Peace Thru Vandalism. The record contained several songs that would become fan favorites and remain in the band's live set well into the 1990s, including "Urban Struggle," which became a local hit after receiving airplay on KROQ's Rodney on the ROQ program. Most of the record's subject material was drawn directly from the band's own experiences in their local punk rock scene. "The Legend of Pat Brown" told tales of a substance-abusing friend of the band who was notorious for causing mayhem, while "Pirate's Life" dealt with the experience of riding Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride while taking LSD. The aforementioned "Urban Struggle" dealt with the constant fights that would occur between the punk rock fans who congregated at a Costa Mesa club called the Cuckoo's Nest and the country music fans who gathered at nearby Zubie's. "Anarchy Burger (Hold the Government)" approached the philosophy of anarchism, advocated by many early punk bands, from a humorous perspective and became one of the band's most popular songs throughout their career.

In 1984 the band appeared in the film Suburbia by invitation of director Penelope Spheeris, who had also directed the influential The Decline of Western Civilization. In a humorously ironic move they also played a benefit concert for the Cypress College Young Republicans, an action which prompted derision from the traditionally liberal and anarchic punk community. It would not be the last time the band's actions would draw criticism, although their music generally maintains a neutral political position.

The Queers - Everything's O.K. Ep

01 Everything's OK
02 Queerbait
03 Get A Life And Live It Loser
04 I Enjoy Being A Boy


A great EP featuring Joe's famous mix of Ramones-meets-Beach Boys style songs. It's refreshing to know that a seasoned punk rocker like Joe Queer realizes that melody and good lyrics are essential components to a good, timeless song. Some of these songs spew sarcastic venom, and some are sappier than sap, and that's what makes it great....

Sejarah Punk (History of Punk)


Punk merupakan sub-budaya yang lahir di London, Inggris. Pada awalnya, kelompok punk selalu dikacaukan oleh golongan skinhead. Namun, sejak tahun 1980-an, saat punk merajalela di Amerika, golongan punk dan skinhead seolah-olah menyatu, karena mempunyai semangat yang sama. Namun, Punk juga dapat berarti jenis musik atau genre yang lahir di awal tahun 1970-an. Punk juga bisa berarti ideologi hidup yang mencakup aspek sosial dan politik.

Gerakan anak muda yang diawali oleh anak-anak kelas pekerja ini dengan segera merambah Amerika yang mengalami masalah ekonomi dan keuangan yang dipicu oleh kemerosotan moral oleh para tokoh politik yang memicu tingkat pengangguran dan kriminalitas yang tinggi. Punk berusaha menyindir para penguasa dengan caranya sendiri, melalui lagu-lagu dengan musik dan lirik yang sederhana namun terkadang kasar, beat yang cepat dan menghentak.

Banyak yang menyalahartikan punk sebagai glue sniffer dan perusuh karena di Inggris pernah terjadi wabah penggunaan lem berbau tajam untuk mengganti bir yang tak terbeli oleh mereka. Banyak pula yang merusak citra punk karena banyak dari mereka yang berkeliaran di jalanan dan melakukan berbagai tindak kriminal.

Punk lebih terkenal dari hal fashion yang dikenakan dan tingkah laku yang mereka perlihatkan, seperti potongan rambut mohawk ala suku indian, atau dipotong ala feathercut dan diwarnai dengan warna-warna yang terang, sepatu boots, rantai dan spike, jaket kulit, celana jeans ketat dan baju yang lusuh, anti kemapanan, anti sosial, kaum perusuh dan kriminal dari kelas rendah, pemabuk berbahaya sehingga banyak yang mengira bahwa orang yang berpenampilan seperti itu sudah layak untuk disebut sebagai punker.

Punk juga merupakan sebuah gerakan perlawanan anak muda yang berlandaskan dari keyakinan we can do it ourselves. Penilaian punk dalam melihat suatu masalah dapat dilihat melalui lirik-lirik lagunya yang bercerita tentang masalah politik, lingkungan hidup, ekonomi, ideologi, sosial dan bahkan masalah agama.

Gaya hidup dan Ideologi

Psikolog brilian asal Rusia, Pavel Semenov, menyimpulkan bahwa manusia memuaskan kelaparannya akan pengetahuan dengan dua cara. Pertama, melakukan penelitian terhadap lingkungannya dan mengatur hasil penelitian tersebut secara rasional (sains). Kedua, mengatur ulang lingkungan terdekatnya dengan tujuan membuat sesuatu yang baru (seni).

Dengan definisi diatas, punk dapat dikategorikan sebagai bagian dari dunia kesenian. Gaya hidup dan pola pikir para pendahulu punk mirip dengan para pendahulu gerakan seni avant-garde, yaitu dandanan nyleneh, mengaburkan batas antara idealisme seni dan kenyataan hidup, memprovokasi audiens secara terang-terangan, menggunakan para penampil (performer) berkualitas rendah dan mereorganisasi (atau mendisorganisasi) secara drastis kemapanan gaya hidup. Para penganut awal kedua aliran tersebut juga meyakini satu hal, bahwa hebohnya penampilan (appearances) harus disertai dengan hebohnya pemikiran (ideas).

Punk selanjutnya berkembang sebagai buah kekecewaan musisi rock kelas bawah terhadap industri musik yang saat itu didominasi musisi rock mapan, seperti The Beatles, Rolling Stone, dan Elvis Presley. Musisi punk tidak memainkan nada-nada rock teknik tinggi atau lagu cinta yang menyayat hati. Sebaliknya, lagu-lagu punk lebih mirip teriakan protes demonstran terhadap kejamnya dunia. Lirik lagu-lagu punk menceritakan rasa frustrasi, kemarahan, dan kejenuhan berkompromi dengan hukum jalanan, pendidikan rendah, kerja kasar, pengangguran serta represi aparat, pemerintah dan figur penguasa terhadap rakyat.

Akibatnya punk dicap sebagai musik rock n’ roll aliran kiri, sehingga sering tidak mendapat kesempatan untuk tampil di acara televisi. Perusahaan-perusahaan rekaman pun enggan mengorbitkan mereka.

Gaya hidup ialah relatif tidak ada seorangpun memiliki gaya hidup sama dengan lainnya. Ideologi diambil dari kata “ideas” dan “logos” yang berarti buah pikiran murni dalam kehidupan. Gaya hidup dan ideologi berkembang sesuai dengan tempat, waktu dan situasi maka punk kalisari pada saat ini mulai mengembangkan proyek “jor-joran” yaitu manfaatkan media sebelum media memanfaatkan kita. Dengan kata lain punk berusaha membebaskan sesuatu yang membelenggu pada zamannya masing-masing.

Punk dan Anarkisme

Lihat juga Anarko-punk

Kegagalan Reaganomic dan kekalahan Amerika Serikat dalam Perang Vietnam di tahun 1980-an1980-1984), seperti Crass, Conflict, dan Discharge dari Inggris, The Ex dan BGK dari Belanda, MDC dan Dead Kennedys dari Amerika telah mengubah kaum punk menjadi pemendam jiwa pemberontak (rebellious thinkers) daripada sekadar pemuja rock n’ roll. Ideologi anarkisme1972-1978), antara lain Sex Pistols dan The Clash, dipandang sebagai satu-satunya pilihan bagi mereka yang sudah kehilangan kepercayaan terhadap otoritas negara, masyarakat, maupun industri musik. turut memanaskan suhu dunia punk pada saat itu. Band-band punk gelombang kedua ( yang pernah diusung oleh band-band punk gelombang pertama (

Di Indonesia, istilah anarki, anarkis atau anarkisme digunakan oleh media massa untuk menyatakan suatu tindakan perusakan, perkelahian atau kekerasan massal. Padahal menurut para pencetusnya, yaitu William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, dan Mikhail Bakunin, anarkisme adalah sebuah ideologi yang menghendaki terbentuknya masyarakat tanpa negara, dengan asumsi bahwa negara adalah sebuah bentuk kediktatoran legal yang harus diakhiri.

Negara menetapkan pemberlakuan hukum dan peraturan yang sering kali bersifat pemaksaan, sehingga membatasi warga negara untuk memilih dan bertanggung jawab atas pilihannya sendiri. Kaum anarkis berkeyakinan bila dominasi negara atas rakyat terhapuskan, hak untuk memanfaatkan kekayaan alam dan sumber daya manusia akan berkembang dengan sendirinya. Rakyat mampu memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya sendiri tanpa campur tangan negara.

Kaum punk memaknai anarkisme tidak hanya sebatas pengertian politik semata. Dalam keseharian hidup, anarkisme berarti tanpa aturan pengekang, baik dari masyarakat maupun perusahaan rekaman, karena mereka bisa menciptakan sendiri aturan hidup dan perusahaan rekaman sesuai keinginan mereka. Punk etika semacam inilah yang lazim disebut DIY (do it yourself/lakukan sendiri).

Keterlibatan kaum punk dalam ideologi anarkisme ini akhirnya memberikan warna baru dalam ideologi anarkisme itu sendiri, karena punk memiliki ke-khasan tersendiri dalam gerakannya. Gerakan punk yang mengusung anarkisme sebagai ideologi lazim disebut dengan gerakan Anarko-punk.

Punk di Indonesia

Berbekal etika DIY, beberapa komunitas punk di kota-kota besar di Indonesia seperti Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, dan Malang merintis usaha rekaman dan distribusi terbatas. Mereka membuat label rekaman sendiri untuk menaungi band-band sealiran sekaligus mendistribusikannya ke pasaran. Kemudian usaha ini berkembang menjadi semacam toko kecil yang lazim disebut distro.

CD dan kaset tidak lagi menjadi satu-satunya barang dagangan. Mereka juga memproduksi dan mendistribusikan t-shirt, aksesori, buku dan majalah, poster, serta jasa tindik (piercing) dan tatoo. Seluruh produk dijual terbatas dan dengan harga yang amat terjangkau. Dalam kerangka filosofi punk, distro adalah implementasi perlawanan terhadap perilaku konsumtif anak muda pemuja Levi’s, Adidas, Nike, Calvin Klein, dan barang bermerek luar negeri lainnya…
