The Kings of Punk are back at the sold-out 18th Annual Punk Rock Bowling Festival in Sin City.

27-May-2016: With a bill that featured long time punks Poison Idea, Slapshot, M.D.C., and Bad Samaritans, it’s easy to see why the annual Punk Rock Bowling festival club shows continue to sell out within minutes of tickets being released.

Both Poison Idea and M.D.C. put on classic sets of west coast inspired punk, while Boston stalwarts Slapshot delivered the east coast hardcore.

National Rock Review photographer Raymond Ahner was on hand and spent the evening in the photo pit.
