🎙️ Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast🕗 Live at 8 PM EST We’re bringing back Punk As A Doornail for a live episode you don’t want to miss. Born in Orange County in 1999, Punk As A Doornail started as a raw noise project using found-object instruments before evolving into a one-of-a-kind punk duo. At the center of their sound is the skatar — a custom skateboard guitar created and played by Keith Irish, alongside drummer/vocalist Johnny Rage. It all started with a simple idea: if you’re not a great skater… why not turn the board into an instrument? They don’t cover punk. They are punk.Channeling the originality of the 70s and 80s, Punk As A Doornail delivers a sound you recognize instantly because it doesn’t sound like anyone else. With 25 years of evolution and releases like:• Flogging the Punk Horse• Suck 4 Cash• Sleeping in My Piss• Dead As A Sad Snail• Paddle Boat Spring Park (latest release, vinyl just dropped Feb 2026) They’ve built a reputation for raw, unpredictable performances and true DIY energy.
