We’re relative newcomers to the music of Dublin native Meryl Streek, so it was pretty handy that we discovered him just in time for the release of his third album, plus a stormer of a sold-out launch gig at London’s 100 Club. That night, we said of the man that “he speaks truth to power...Continue Reading
Ohhhh yes! If, like us, you fondly remember the late 90s/early 00s skatepunk and melodic hardcore boom, then stuff this debut album from Reason To Leave in your pipe, and smoke it. The Merseyside quartet originally formed back in 2020, and since then have become a hard-gigging machine; no wonder they sound so tight on ‘Live Laugh Leave’.Continue Reading
o you like your music to send a huge jolt of adrenaline through your system? Then you really should get acquainted with Frenzee. Technically they’re not a new band - ‘Runnin’ Amok’ is the Greek-Australian sibling trio’s third album ...Continue Reading
Owwww, my poor joints. Turns out that the best way for my increasingly middle-aged self to deal with a long week at work is NOT to go crazy at a Twenty One Children gig. The South African hardcore trio were on rabid form on Friday night, so I couldn’t resist, but now I ache all over. So it’s probably just as well that tonight is a more sedate affair...Continue Reading
Here at Punktuation, we’re always keen to support younger bands, but we’ve also got love for the veterans - not least as a lifetime of playing in bands often yields plenty of great stories to tell. Granted, in terms of their longevity, Moonraker are hardly the UK Subs (‘Me And The Bells’ is only the Californian trio’s fourth album)...Continue Reading
Tonight, I find myself back at The Dev, but fear not; though it may be a favourite haunt for London’s goths and metalheads, I’m not trying to decouple this website from the punk train. No, I’m here for an evening of crossover thrash, that wonderfully unholy union of speed metal and hardcore punk...Continue Reading
Tonight is a cause for celebration on two counts. It’s not just that self-described ‘one-man punk band’ Meryl Streek is on the eve of releasing what promises to be an absolute ripper of a new album in ‘Stories They Don’t Teach You At School’, but also that he’s managed to sell out (or at least VERY nearly sell out) the 100 Club...Continue Reading
Alright, in terms of ‘I was there’ punk moments, the recent South London Punk Collective all-dayer wasn’t quite up there with the Sex Pistols at the 100 Club, but it was still a brilliant day of quality punk rock - not to mention with the added bonus of a free barbecue (something that the Pistols definitely declined to provide).Continue Reading
One of the most exciting new UK bands that we’ve heard in a long time, Yee Loi is a teenage trio, all siblings, who hail from Liverpool, and features Rose on guitar, Matilda on vocals and drums, and Donny on bass. They’re about to go on a nationwide tour with Transvision Vamp, and then January will see the release of their debut album ‘Flicks, Licks, Party Tricks’. We Continue Reading
