Members of Florida powerhouses Gouge Away and Shai Hulud have come together to form Through Sand, a nostalgic alternative band. The band has debuted the latest single “Grapevine.”
The song will appear on the band’s upcoming, as yet undated full-length Every Open Hand. For those who do not want to wait on the album, the Through Sand will be releasing a 4 song cassette New Ways on 19 February. Preorder that here.

Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
