Fantazmaz have a friend covering for their usual drummer, but you wouldn’t know it from how tight they are. They play raucous street punk, veering on thrash metal intensity at times, and it’s impossible to take your eyes off livewire vocalist Thami as she scales the bar, the merch table and even people’s shoulders. Yur Mum are a bass and drums duo, and they’ve hit upon a Continue Reading

Newcastle natives Demob Happy play like this is their own show, and that’s understandable for a band with songs as good (and as exotically-titled) as ‘Token Appreciation Society’ and ‘Sweet And Sour America’. Theirs is a punk rock sneer set atop a pile of thunderous low-end riffs and barbed-wire guitars. However, if Demob Happy sound like they’re flirting with musical Continue Reading

Tom Wilson was a young man who tragically died from an accidental blow to his head during a hockey training session, and was found to have previously volunteered to donate his organs - enabling him to unknowingly save or vastly improve the lives of several people. Tonight's charity gig in aid of the Tom Wilson Memorial Fund featured Explode The TV, The Priscillas and Love Continue Reading
![Midway Still band](https://www.punktuationmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Midway-Still-1-481x460.jpeg)
Dealing With Damage gigs don’t come around as often as we’d like (damned real-life responsibilities!), but boy, are they worth the wait. These guys play what we shall call ‘smartcore’; melodic post-hardcore with SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO SAY. Midway Still are one of those bands that make me wish I’d been born a good ten years earlier, not least as I may well have caught them Continue Reading

It's undeniable that Ruts DC are one of the best live bands of the last 45 years - their strong lyrics and music a constant and enduring source of their popularity. Building upon the legacy begun by Malcolm Owen, Paul Fox, David Ruffy and John 'Segs' Jennings back in Continue Reading

You could drop Diggle on any stage anywhere and he’d give it everything. Stranglers fans know the songs and respond to his drive to play them, which he only interrupts for a pull on his pint of champagne.
For the next hour and 40 minutes, from a trenchant, totemic, 'Toiler On The Sea' to traditional closer 'No More Heroes', The Stranglers are kings of the castle, honed Continue Reading

Proving that they are no one shot wonders, UltraBomb (Greg Norton of Hüsker Dü, Finny McConnell of The Mahones and Jamie Oliver ex UK Subs) headed straight to the recording studio last December, hot off the back of a highly successful debut UK tour, to record their second album 'Dying To Smile' over just 3 days!
An album filled to the brim with punchy Punk songs, Continue Reading

Portsmouth based Post-Punk/Goth band Torpedoes have just released their fourth album ‘Heaven’s Light Our Guide’. In this magnum opus, principal songwriter Ray (Razor) Fagan (Ex Red Letter Day) gives his take on the world we must all inhabit whether we like it or not, across 20 tracks.
