We've reviewed Fantazmaz's incendiary live shows at least twice in these pages, so we were delighted to discover that the Brazilian (but UK-based) quartet will unleash their debut album on July 4th.Continue Reading
Yes, for the umpteenth time, the Supersuckers are still going! Cynics might say that’s because the veteran Seattle rock n’ roll trio have no plan B in life, but please direct any such folks to the band’s new single, ‘Maybe I’m Just Messin’ With You’. It’s vintage ‘Suckers, and why should the band call it a day when they’re still on such fine form?Continue Reading
We’ve just passed the 31st anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, and it’s safe to say that the much-missed Nirvana frontman would approve heartily of tonight’s bill of noise-mongers at the New Cross Inn. After all, in terms of influences, the four bands are mining the likes of ‘Scentless Apprentice’ infinitely more than a certain deodorant-inspired hit single. Plus, only a Continue Reading
Manchester punk power-trio Aerial Salad are following last years acclaimed ‘R.O.I.’ album with a brand new 12” EP ‘Roi de l’herb’ to be released June 27th via Venn Records.Continue Reading
It’s skate punk, Jim, but not as we know it. In truth, to saddle Dutch Nuggets with that tag would be to sell them short - they’re too inventive and too downright odd to be written off as mere bit-players on the soundtrack of the latest incarnation of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Continue Reading
Ah, spring is in the air, and we’ve been bathed in sunshine all week, so what better way to celebrate than to cram ourselves into murky Camden pub/goth haunt/institution The Dev for an evening of of metal-tinged crust/hardcore thrills? Oh, and did we mention that it’s free entry?Continue Reading
Tonight, the New Cross Inn plays host to straight-edge hardcore as it oughta be. In the wrong hands, the movement has too often been used as a tool to (sometimes literally) beat non-believers, but no-one’s getting dirty looks for enjoying a beer or two tonight. Rather, this evening’s bands embody the idea that hardcore gigs can be so much more than just a way for folks to Continue Reading
Craving some punk/garage/rock n' roll thrills? You've come to the right place! It’s been three months since we last caught up with Shake Some Acton, and they’ve clearly hit the ground running after the Christmas break. Five quality punk and rock n’ roll bands - Family Of Strangers, The Phobics, Glitter Kick, Deaf Devils and Menace - for only a tenner? At one of east Continue Reading
Isn’t rock n’ roll supposed to be a young person’s game? Then how come so many of the old guard are doing such a great job of breathing new life into the genre? A case in point: Sheffield rockers Black Spiders, who are about to unleash a beast of a fifth album in ‘Cvrses’, and who only seem to have become ever leaner, meaner and hungrier since forming back in 2008.Continue Reading
There’s one glaring omission on ‘Here To Destroy’; namely that, unlike a Split Dogs gig, it comes without vocalist Harry Atkins’ utterly magnetic stage presence. Seriously, of all punk rock vocalists currently doing the rounds, they take the crown - for somehow managing to keep up such gloriously frenzied, bug-eyed, confrontational performances night after night. Suffice Continue Reading
