    In A DIY Spirit To Bring About Change

     

    Since 2007, Punk Rock & Paintbrushes has been on a mission to highlight the intersection of music and art. With a presence at galleries, concerts and music festivals around the world, each exhibit features original artworks from some of the biggest musicians in punk, rock and metal that showcases their creativity in a whole new light. Many also feature auctions with signed items to benefit a number of charitable causes.
    In 2026, Punk Rock & Paintbrushes will offer another busy year of events, beginning with a presence at Dropkick Murphys’ hometown Boston shows, taking place March 13, 14 and 15 at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway and March 17 at Citizens House of Blues Boston. This art and photography exhibition will also feature an auction of designed and signed Fender guitars and drumheads, all benefitting the bands’ charitable arm The Claddagh Fund, which provides critical funding for nonprofits that impact children, veterans and addiction and recovery programs.
    Says frontman Ken Casey, “Punk Rock & Paintbrushes, Dropkick Murphys and The Claddagh Fund are a match made in heaven. It’s all about the community spirit that embodies punk rock. Helping others, staying true and being real…That’s what punk rock means to me.”
    On March 21, from 6-10 p.m., Punk Rock & Paintbrushes will host a gallery show at Serj Tankian’s very own Eye for Sound Gallery, located at 1638 Colorado Blvd. in Los Angeles, featuring his artworks along with Hunter Burgan (AFI), Chloe Trujillo and art from the next generation, including works by the children of Josh Freese, Tre Cool, Chloe and Robert Trujillo, and Andrew Campanelli. The event will bring together artists and collectors for an evening celebrating the intersection of music, visual art and community.
    “I’m excited to be hosting another group exhibition at Eye For Sound Gallery with
    Punk Rock & Paintbrushes,” says Tankian. “Having so many dynamic artists showcasing their talent while also bringing awareness to social injustices happening in our community is important to me. Especially with everything going on all around us.”
    April and May events will feature onsite galleries at a number of festivals including BeachLife, May 1 to 3 in Redondo Beach, California; Welcome To Rockville, May 7 to 10 in Daytona Beach, Florida; and Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, May 14 to 17 in Columbus, Ohio. While BeachLife’s Speakeasy Stage will feature the works of Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), Jonah Nimoy (The Offspring), Jackie Wasserman, Nicole Freese and Chad Smith, Chali2na, among others, Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple will feature Serj Tankian, Dave Navarro, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), James “Munky” Shaffer (Korn), Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Carla Harvey (The Violent Hour), Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger (Halestorm) and more.
    Says Jim Lindberg, “With legendary punk bands like Black Flag, The Circle Jerks, Redd Kross and The Descendents all coming from the South Bay of Los Angeles, we’ve always tried to respect that legacy by having amazing musicians on our Speakeasy Stage and all kinds of great punk rockers from all over the world bringing their art to the Punk Rock & Paintbrushes installation! I think we’ve done a great job of keeping the punk rock spirit alive at the BeachLife Festival.”
    Additional Punk Rock & Paintbrushes events this year will be announced soon.
    The idea for Punk Rock & Paintbrushes came to founder Emily Nielsen in 2007 after she asked friend Tim McIlrath (Rise Against) to paint a piece of art with the lyrics to the Rise Against song “Survive” after she overcame a battle with cancer. The painting has traveled around the world with Emily as an everyday reminder that “how we survive is what makes us who we are.” Today, Punk Rock & Paintbrushes continues embodying that message by allowing space to let music artists create in another medium and share their thoughts on surviving in today’s challenging climate.
    “Emily and Punk Rock & Paintbrushes are pioneers in a previously unappreciated space: the art of punk,” says McIlrath. “PR&PB recognized that so many of the musicians we know and love have more ways to express themselves than just music. Together with many other artists that also drink from the well of punk, PR&PB brings creative work out of the shadows and into the light at live shows, festivals and galleries around the world, much to the enjoyment of many fans. They do all of this while staying true to a DIY punk ethos and a deep reverence for the healing properties that live at the intersection of music and art.”
    Adds Nielsen, “This year feels different with Punk Rock & Paintbrushes.  This year we have set intentions and goals, we are here to bring art to those who appreciate it but I feel there is more to our collective now more than ever.  We are a group of artists who want to make this world better than we found it and our foundation continues to be that of creativity & respect and we do so while keeping true to our punk rock values.”

The painting has traveled around the world with Emily and is an everyday reminder that “How we survive is what makes us who we are.” Today, Punk Rock & Paintbrushes manages talented artists across the globe who share their love of music and art, and brings art to collectors and fans from all walks of life.

  • Testament to Release a Remastered Version of ‘Practice What You Preach’, “Envy Life” Streaming Now

    testament_2025

    Awwww shit, guys. When it comes to the best thrash bands of all time, you can easily consider Testament to be on that list because they put out banger albums out for decades now. And among those releases was Practice What You Preach, a killer album from 1989. Earlier today, it was announced that the band is reissuing a remastered version of that album and to mark the occasion, they released the remastered version of “Envy Life”.

    The classic 1989 album represented a big moment for the band. It was the first time they had an album hit the Top 100 on the Billboard 200 charts. The title track was getting air time on the radio and their music videos were regular staples on things like MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball. If you don’t know why “radio”, “MTV”, or “Headbanger’s Ball” were important to a metal band during that time, you’re probably too young. Just know it was a big deal.

    This new version of Practice What You Preach was remastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. When May 8 hits, it will be available digitally, along with a 180G vinyl on Yellow and Orange Swirl with Black Splatter (limited to 1250 worldwide) and is packaged with brand new artwork from the original cover artist Bill Benson. The album will come with a 20 page booklet showcasing old photos and documents provided by Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson and new liner notes, too.

    Speaking of the upcoming release, Billy said this was a killer opportunity to bring the classic album to new and younger audiences.

    “I am stoked about the remastered Practice What You Preach release with Nuclear Blast. With new artwork and bigger sound than the original. Drop the needle and bang your head!!”

    Practice What You Preach (2026 Remaster) will be released on May 8 via Nuclear Blast Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
