Seven-inch split albums were originally done on vinyl, with music from one artist on one side of the record and music from a second artist on the opposite side. Since the early 1980s, the format has been used widely by independent record labels and punk bands. Friday nights “Boston to Berkeley II” tour had the same benefits of a split EP.

Although Riot Fest celebrated it’s tenth anniversary this year, it was only the second year that the festival has come to Colorado. The festival was originally located in Byers, but after the town refused to let festival attendees return for the second year, the event was moved to the blacktop at Sports Authority Field in Denver. Riot Fest is one-of-a-kind festival, with carnival rides and sideshows and a wide variety of music ranging from Rock to Punk to Rap.

In classic Punk Rock fashion, Soda Jerk Presents gave ticket holders four bands for the price of two last Thursday.

This was not to be the case when the Aggrolites and Street Dogs headed up a bill that blended several different genres with Punk sensibilities over the course of a lineup that represented a collective 13 or more albums.
