Screaming Bloody Mess – 8th June 2009

Facebook post:

Screaming Bloody Mess is gone! The site is still paid for for another year if anyone wants to get it back up and running…

2nd May 2025 – Screaming Bloody Mess was one of the first punk website and forums that I came across in Australia and was a who’s who of the punk scene at the time. It was already well established by the time I found it and I did get involved a little bit to keep it up and running for while until it eventually faded away. I made some good friends and acquaintances there and there was a fun feeling of cooperation, for me at least. I’ll have to go and check the Wayback Machine to see if I can revive some of the hilarity for there, particularly my post ‘Shitting in the shower’ which seemed to polarise a lot of people!
