Album review: Meryl Streek – ‘Stories They Don’t Teach You At School’ 

By Alex Goose October 20, 2026

We’re relative newcomers to the music of Dublin native Meryl Streek, so it was pretty handy that we discovered him just in time for the release of his third album, plus a stormer of a sold-out launch gig at London’s 100 Club. That night, we said of the man that “he speaks truth to power...Continue Reading

Album review: Reason To Leave – ‘Live Laugh Leave’

By Alex Goose October 20, 2026

Ohhhh yes! If, like us, you fondly remember the late 90s/early 00s skatepunk and melodic hardcore boom, then stuff this debut album from Reason To Leave in your pipe, and smoke it.

Dan Goatham/Tim Vantol, London Aces & Eights, 17th Oct 2026

By Alex Goose October 18, 2026

Owwww, my poor joints. Turns out that the best way for my increasingly middle-aged self to deal with a long week at work is NOT to go crazy at a Twenty One Children gig. The South African hardcore trio were on rabid form on Friday night, so I couldn’t resist, but now I ache all over. So it’s probably just as well that tonight is a more sedate affair...Continue Reading

Album review: Moonraker – ‘Me And The Bells’

Granted, in terms of their longevity, Moonraker are hardly the UK Subs (‘Me And The Bells’ is only the Californian trio’s fourth album)...Continue Reading
