The four members of OFF! come from an array of truly awe-inspiring bands. Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks), Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Steven McDonald (Redd Kross), and Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless/Hot Snakes/Rocket From the Crypt). Formed in Los Angeles in 2010, they've already released four EPs of classic hardcore and logged more road miles than most bands will in their entire existence. The individual roots established by these lifelong musicians are uniquely woven throughout the rock music canon. To call OFF! a supergroup just isn't super enough.

Look for the second an...

There are lots of bizarre, random band names in the history of rock and roll, like the Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the Electric Prunes, and it may have been a little embarrassing to say "I'm a member of The Electric Prunes." But, would you be willing to say, "I am the Electric Prune?"

Here at Starpulse, we would like to pay tribute to the individuals who have the courage to sign his/her checks, or introduce him/herself at a parent teacher conference with one of the below listed names.

Punk singer Henry Rollins prefers to be left alone, insisting the only company the needs is his own. The former Black Flag frontman, 46, is adamant that he isn't a recluse, but doesn't actively seek out companionship.

He says, "When I'm at home at weekends, my phone won't ring at all. I have very few friends, I never have had lots of people to hang out with and I'm comfortable with that."

"I just like to do things alone. I'm actually really comfortable with that. I don't dislike people, I actually really get on with people when I do decide to socialize, but I just like being alo...

Punk icon Henry Rollins is to front the reformed Ruts for a benefit show in London. The former Black Flag frontman, who is now a TV talk show presenter in the U.S., will join the reunited British punk act at a charity concert for guitarist Paul Fox and the Cancer Research charity next month.

The Carling Academy show will help raise money for the guitarist, who is suffering from untreatable lung cancer, and his family.

Rollins will replace late Ruts frontman Malcolm Owen, who died from a drug overdose in 1980, for the one-off reunion.

"It's about passion and writing music that connects with other people and somehow heals them. I really want to try to crawl under peoples' skin and at the same time make some kick-ass rock 'n roll music," says Puddle Of Mudd frontman Wesley Scantlin about his band's imminent third album, Famous.

After their 2001 debut, Come Clean, sold over 5 million copies and spawned no less than 4 radio hits (including "Blurry", the most played song of 2002); and their gold-certified follow-up Life On Display, Puddle Of Mudd were able to step back a little to create Famous.

"We had a lot of ti...

Punk icon Henry Rollins has a secret dream to back soul queen Gladys Knight. The former Black Flag star is an unlikely fan of Gladys Knight & The Pips and admits he rehearsed to become the first white Pip when he was a teenager.

He says, "I wanted to be a Pip because I saw them on Soul Train... and every time she'd do something, they all had the choreographed move, and they wore tuxes (tuxedos) and they didn't sweat. I actually rehearsed it in the mirror, I had it down... It should haven been me, but no one ever put Gladys and I together, so I'm waiting for that call."

Emerging in the early 1980s, hardcore punk championed independent thought and a f-you attitude - all with a fierce "do-it-yourself" aesthetic. More than just loud, fast music driven by primal aggression, bands like Bad Brains and Black Flag helped launch an underground social movement that tapped into the disaffection of misfit kids who came of age in the Reagan era. Filmmaker Paul Rachman and writer Steven Blush capture the spirit of this subculture with their documentary, American Hardcore, and Rhino Records delivers the hard-hitting soundtrack. "American Hardcore - The History Of America...

Former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins has an unlikely best friend - Star Trek's William Shatner. The pair met when musician Ben Folds produced Shatner's album and invited Rollins to sing a duet. Rollins explains, "I thought, 'That sounds like it could be great or a total disaster.' And I love that kind of risk."

Shatner and Rollins met in the recording studio and immediately struck up a friendship. Rollins adds, "After that, Shatner's assistant calls me and says, 'Bill had a really good time,' and asks if I'd like to come over for (TV show) Monday Night Football at this house. So I...

Rocker Henry Rollins is under investigation by the Australian government after he was spotted reading Ahmed Rashid's bestselling book "Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia" on a recent flight to Brisbane, Australia. The former Black Flag frontman, 45, was horrified when he received an e-mail from an Australian government associate after an ignorant passenger reported the singer/actor's reading material.

Rollins tells PageSix.com, "Days later I received an e-mail from a woman who I guess figured out who I was and found me. I had been named a 'person of interest.' Basically...
