Hey DIY punks, if you are concerned about the future of #Bandcamp, one route to having an autonomous way to share your music online is by building your own band website with #Faircamp.

See our recent how-to:
https://the-counterforce.org/faircamp-how-to/

Also a nice interview with the creator if Faircamp just appeared in @diyconspiracy :
https://diyconspiracy.net/faircamp-interview/

Version 2.0 of Faircamp is coming soon, which should be even easier to use!

Faircamp creator @freebliss talks to a hardcore punk zine about platform autonomy, the small web, and building a radically sustainable way for artists to publish music online.

This documentary on Hattiesburg's punk and DIY music scene came out last spring! Yall should check it out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LNZ7kMk2dQ

It was filmed and edited by two student workers who worked with me at USM (so proud of Hannah and Lauren <3) who joined two others and they interviewed myself and @ThinkAndGrowRich and several other members of scene. It's a really well done video and we're so honored to be part of something people want to make documentaries about :)

okay literal #askAPunk question: what is the source photo from the Crossed Out / MITB split album cover?

@ktownhardcorefest is this weekend. There will be a Counterforce distro there for the entire fest with copies of the last few issues, the most recent @maximumrocknroll review digest zines, copies of our Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse for punks and pamphlets for https://allpunkspleaseleavemeta.com

If you are at the fest come say hello!

I first came across Demokhratia through David Carville when we were doing trades and co-releases with his label around 2005-2010, but I didn’t know much about the Algerian scene until this interview. A must-read.

Is there anywhere in #Berlin we can print and staple some #zines for free/cheap/at cost? We have a mobile Counterforce distro in Europe right now looking to restock on a few things next week. #distroism #AskFedi

Looking for some music recommendations? I've just started a new hardcore punk/crust blog from scratch.
I'm very happy about my Fediverse comment function implementation. I'd love to see you there!

@leftover

Ha just posted about this, but could not find if you were on Fedi, then just saw your post in the timeline below!

Thanks to my RSS reader, I recently saw that the long-running mp3 blog https://hc-punx.blogspot.com/ has relaunched as a self-hosted website at https://blog.punkify.cc/ !

Read their rational here: https://blog.punkify.cc/about/

It looks like they even are trying to add Fediverse integration from the blog (so one could follow it/comment from a Mastodon account) but it doesn't appear to be working just yet!

Updated the former Fediverse Punk Month site at https://allpunkspleaseleavemeta.com to be more evergreen content. Now has a standalone version of The Counterforce Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse (for punks) alongside printable zines, links, and other resources.

If you'd like to translate the site + guide please get in touch and we'll add multiple languages (including printable versions of the zines!)

A second Mississippi based gancio community calendar has hit the web. Jackson, Mississippi is still a threat.

Al Quint reflecting on past DIY spaces in the Boston area.

We have built a basic website for Unsanitary Napkin and Displeasure. The site was built using #faircamp and #neocities following a super helpful guide written by @The_Counterforce https://unsanitarynapkin.neocities.org

Today I bring you a special episode with the excuse of the next gigs that we have lined up with West Coast Punks in Galway.

I'm going to play songs of some of the bands that are playing in these upcoming gigs, and as an extra, some of the people in these bands have sent me voice notes, so you will hear them as well.

Bands in this episode:
-Dark Thoughts.
-Claimed Choice.
-An Slua.
