Barcelona quintet Radioactivas come across as much a gang as a band, and they’re a gang that we wanna join.

Brighton-based band Dunce are not the same as your typical punk band. They have some similarities to Primus and Warmduscher, so the punk element is there for sure, but they also have a techno spin to their music!

A while back, I resolved to try to stop constantly comparing bands to my beloved Motörhead, but it has to be said that Lemmy and co would surely approve of Fantazmaz; tonight, everything really is louder (and rawer, and more intense) than everyone else.Continue Reading
Nick Standing AKA Jabun created a DIY ska punk/pop punk music project calling it Better Than The Book. His third full-length album ‘Side Character In My Own Life’ was released on 13th June 2025. This whole album is absolutely brilliant! So much passion and hard work has been put into the songs, and it definitely shows in every track. There are times I’ve wanted to skank, Continue Reading
