By Herman de Tollenaere January 17, 2025

'Out The Dark' is the culmination of Lunar Sounds' punk-infused work to date, and shows why they’ve been such a mainstay of the UK northern music scene since 2018. Lunar Sounds have consistently explored themes of self-worth and societal expectations in their music, delivering their message with a raw, defiant attitude that strikes a chord with listeners. Another reminder Continue Reading

Album review: Dokuga – ‘Antes Do Fim’

By Alex Goose January 16, 2025

It’s strange how some of the most abrasive, fierce and downright evil-sounding music comes from some of the sunniest, most beautiful places. For example, the so-called ‘sunshine state’ of Florida has birthed what is arguably the USA’s most fertile death metal scene. And clearly even picturesque Portugal must have a dark side; how else to explain the existence of Dokuga and Continue Reading

EP review: Subculture – ‘Fred’

By Alex Goose January 15, 2025

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate nearly 40 years of a record that was never actually released in the first place. Long-disbanded North Carolina hardcore punks Subculture unleashed a beast of a debut in 1985’s ‘I Heard A Scream’, but this follow-up was shelved after the band broke up the following year. Apparently, rough mixes of the tracks on 'Fred' Continue Reading

Album Review: Śmierć – ‘Opór’

By Alex Goose January 4, 2025

Śmierć haven’t set any boundaries for themselves, and it’s this which makes ‘Opór’ so compelling. Simultaneously authentic and forward-thinking, this is a record which we didn’t realise we needed, but trust us when we say that you need it too. Continue Reading

By Alex Goose December 28, 2024

I find out that Shake Some Acton will have put on a whopping THIRTY gigs by the time 2024 draws to a close!

We’re happy to report that Fantazmaz are still their usual deranged selves, and that Continue Reading
