Zombina and The Skeletones LP 'The Call of Zombina'
Release Date: 11th October
Record Label: 9×9 Records
Merseyside horror Punks Zombina and The Skeletones bring you their first full-length album in ten years ‘The Call of Zombina‘. A Hammer Horror melodrama as art-therapy, the Punk roots of Goth-rock meet the strings and harpsichords of baroque in an album recorded in a spooky old church in Liverpool! The band mix garage Punk and girl-group pop with spooked out surf-a-billy sonics to great effect.
Bloody Holly And The RicketZ album 'Grand Opening'
Release Date: 31st October
Record Label: H-Music/We Are Horror Records
From Budapest, Hungary, Bloody Holly And The RicketZ the almost-female horror Punk band are taking the underground music scene by storm. With a frontman drenched in blood, this deadly unserious collective combines catchy melodies with creepy instrumentation, weaving together morbid horror themes and absurd dark humour in their lyrics. This debut album is scarily good – Punk is not dead, it’s just decomposing – loudly!
Pumpkin Guts EP ‘Cats, Corpses, & Other Tales’
Release Date: 8th November
Record Label: We Are Horror Records
Pikeville, Kentucky’s Pumpkin Guts are poised to release their new EP ‘Cats, Corpses, & Other Tales‘, a collection of tracks that The Moshville Times calls “Blink-182 goes horror”. From ‘Cursed Saddle‘ – raucous and upbeat southern punk – to Zombie apocalypse banger ‘Endless Hunger‘ and ‘Martin‘ which pushes the band into new synth territory, there’s a diverse array of moods and influences here.

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.
