On Friday, January 27, the Rock Hall opened its new exhibition: Warped 12 Years of Music, Mayhem, and More — a celebration of not just the Vans Warped Tour, but California skate-punk as a cultural movement.
Featuring such Warped legends as Bad Religion and Pennywise, the Hall’s kick-off party also spotlighted Street Drum Corps, three Los Angeles percussionists fusing bouncy pop-punk and grooves busted on buckets and scrap metal.
