In need of some short, sharp bursts of in-yer-face punk'n'blues, with some added scares? Then Belgium’s Boneshakers have the perfect recipe for you with their debut self-titled EP! With four songs coming in at just under eleven minutes, this a tightly packed bundle of adrenaline-fueled decadence.Continue Reading
I was super excited to get a review copy of the Molly Vulpyne Band's first album, 'Houndstooth and the Hum', having loved her previous EP release. Their sound refuses to be boxed in, part punk, part alternative, part melodic, part chaos and raw emotion. Painting poetic pictures with words backed up by killer punk melodies, it's a surefire hit!Continue Reading
From a drained swimming pool in Schwerte to a sold-out festival hall in Nürnberg, the uncompromising Italian hardcore punks Svetlanas deliver intensity, defiance and absolute conviction! They confront. They provoke. They connect. And long after the final note fades, the impact lingers.Continue Reading
It's time for the biennial headline tour visit of Gainesville, Florida's superstar ska-punks Less Than Jake to the shores of the UK. This year they've adopted a circus theme, which fits in perfectly with their flamboyant and humour-filled stage show! Bringing The Bouncing Souls from New Jersey and The Aquabats from California across the pond with them, this tour's lineup Continue Reading

This record celebrates All Hallows Eve in The Darts' own customary garage / horror-punk kind of way. 'Halloween Love Songs' is a quality product and an entertaining album that will be sure to get your Halloween celebrations off to a (vampire bat) flying start!Continue Reading
After much touring throughout Europe, Grippers found time to record their third album, ‘Disobedient Mental Attitude’, which dropped on February 6th 2026. The tricky third album? Not for this band! Grippers are loud and proud, and so they should be of this epic effort! Punk power and raw, relatable lyrics combine to make ‘Disobedient Mental Attitude’ a record you really Continue Reading
A few seconds of drum roll, a sharp intake of breath — and then everything bursts open. That’s how Melonball’s second album ‘Take Care’ begins, and it sets the tone for what follows: direct, urgent, and uncomfortably honest. With this release, Melonball demonstrate that political punk doesn’t have to sacrifice depth for volume. It can be loud and reflective. Urgent and Continue Reading
