Live Review: Yur Mum/Fantazmaz, London Camden Devonshire Arms, 19th July 2024

By Alex Goose
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
Death From Above 1979 2
Punk News Reviews

Live Review: Death From Above 1979, London Forum, 15th July 2024

By Alex Goose
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’.

Midway Still band

Live review: Midway Still / Dealing With Damage, London Hope & Anchor, 11th July 2024

By Alex Goose
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
