The Mary Tyler Whores unleash 'Whip It'!
Release Date: 14th March 2025
Record Label: Golden Robot Records
Punk rock chaos erupts as The Mary Tyler Whores release their fourth single, ‘Whip It‘, a punktastic cover of the Devo original! Produced by punk legend Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks / Bad Religion), this turbocharged, high-voltage version of a cult classic slaps harder than ever, dripping with the band’s signature filthy punk energy. For frontman Frankie “Crime” Cassara, this cover is more than just a tribute – it’s a full-circle moment. “The first time I ever heard the song, I was 10 years old in Bushwick, Brooklyn. My father took me to my brother’s dive bar, and the song was blasting while some wild daredevil chick was riding a mechanical bull. That moment seared itself into my brain. I asked my brother, ‘What the hell kinda music is this?’ and from then on, Devo became a cornerstone of my love for punk and new wave.”

The Sleights have 'Already Gone', with Jen Pop!
Release Date: 14th March 2026
Record Label: Self released
Colorado Springs punk rockers The Sleights are releasing their second album, ‘This One’s Gonna Hurt‘, next month. Featuring 12 tracks of guitar driven punk rock, some of the tracks deal with our many real life problems, depression being at the forefront. “It’s something that all of us can relate to, the song ‘Believe’ is about giving up because things just won’t change. It’s a lot better to sing about giving up than to actually do it,” shares singer/guitarist Luke Blanton. Newly-released single ‘Already Gone‘ deals with loss of love and the feeling of being alone even though you are still with the person. “Jen Razavi of The Bombpops was kind enough to sing on this song and absolutely killed it. She’s one of my favorite people and there is nothing better than singing with your friends. I love this song and love playing it live.” We LOVE the video released to accompany the single – you can’t go wrong with LEGO!

The Bulldozer show off their 'Battle Scars'
Release Date: 14th March 2025
Record Label: Self released
Helsinki-based Oi! punk band The Bulldozer have just released their ‘Battle Scars‘ EP. The band’s sound is a raw and honest combination of old-school punk, ska, and oi. The Bulldozer are also not afraid to showcase their SHARP attitude (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice). ‘Breathtakingly Ordinary Man‘ is one of the key tracks on the EP, where the band expresses their angst and anger towards society’s number one enemy, the suit-wearing man. This character represents those who fail to understand the daily struggles of the working class, who, after a long week, are often left with only a handful of coins. The band was formed in late 2023 by Finnish musicians Jaska: Vocals, Ilkka: Guitar & Backing Vocals, Marko: Bass& Backing Vocals and Jukka: Drums & Backing Vocals. With deep roots in oi punk. ‘Battle Scars‘ is The Bulldozer’s second release. Their debut EP, ‘Shit Drops Keep Fallin’ on My Head‘, came out last June.

NYC's Wyldlife take aim at the 'Bystander'
Release Date: 14th March 2025
Record Label: Wicked Cool Records
Packed with infectious riffs, sing-along choruses, and irresistibly charismatic lyrics, Wyldlife crafts a sound that pays homage to the golden era of ’70s punk, glam rock, and power pop. Reflecting on their new single ‘Bystander‘, vocalist Dave Feldman says, “We are morons. Maybe the sharpest morons in the room, but morons nevertheless. Complexity is not in Wyldlife’s shallow bag of tricks. This is a punk song, a track along the exact lines of the material we’ve always loved listening to and we’ve always loved to write. Hearing this song makes me so happy, I just wanna punch someone in the face.” Bursting with an energy that feels both raw and refreshingly nostalgic, their music blends attitude, melody, and a rebellious spirit. Channeling a deep appreciation for the legends that came before them, Wyldlife inject their own modern edge into the high-voltage swagger of classic rock ‘n’ roll, making their songs impossible to resist.

Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
