Milk and cookies. Spaghetti and meatballs. Punk rock and bowling. All of these are natural pairings, but
unlike the first two, the third relationship was only formalized recently thanks to Shawn and Mark Stern.
The same brothers who brought you Youth Brigade and BYO Records founded the Punk Rock Bowling
tournament 16 years ago, but in the last five they've turned a weekend of friendly competition between
bands and labels into a huge three-day festival with a lineup that spans decades and oceans, and this
year includes Cock Sparrer, Angelic Upstarts, Descendents, Against Me!, SNFU and Off!, just to name
a few. Punknews editor Adam Eisenberg caught up with the Sterns to talk about what it takes to put
together a roster of this magnitude, how they've fared in the bowling competition over the years and
what Las Vegas record Punk Rock Bowling is known for breaking.
