Another punktastic day by the sea, with The Meffs, The Undertones and The Damned packing the main stage to the rafters, plus plenty more to see across the other stages!Continue Reading
It may have been a grey and rainy day, but any hint of negativity has been well and truly left at the door of the New Cross Inn this evening. Self-styled purveyors of ‘geek rock’, Nerf Herder have finally returned to these shores after 22 years, and although the quartet have only ever been minnows in comparison to fellow Californians Blink 182 and Weezer, they certainly Continue Reading
In the words of frontman Charlie Longman, this EP is “the heaviest, nastiest thing that Clobber have ever written. We are a band that will always reflect the world around us, and it has never been nastier or heavier to live through.” The man does not lie - has he ever?Continue Reading
Appropriately enough, considering that Moving Targets are a noisy trio from Massachusetts, much of this record brings to mind fellow noisy American trios Dinosaur Jr and Hüsker Dü. If you enjoy the aforementioned legends’ fondness for splicing melodies with seriously abrasive guitars, then trust us when we say that ‘Red Eyes’ will be right up your boulevard.Continue Reading
The Buffalo trio seemingly couldn’t care less that the Fighting Cocks is obviously not sold out - they’re far from home, and stoked that anyone has taken the time to show up on this grey and humid Thursday evening.Continue Reading
Yes, this EP is the third in a conceptually-linked trilogy, but these folks are progressive in the sense that they’ve stuffed (or should that be painted?) ‘Canvas’ full of great ideas, all brought to life with zero tedious musical self-indulgence.Continue Reading
The kids are alright, folks. Washington DC quartet Petrichor are probably sick of journos like me mentioning their age (all between 13 and 15 years old, since you ask), but it’s rare that we hear a young band that gel as well as they do on this debut EP.Continue Reading
Truly, Real Life Presents has been on a roll recently, with a week of great hardcore shows now coming to a close with a beast of a double header from Terminal Sleep and Spaced. If anyone out there made it to the full week of shows, you win at life; meanwhile, we’re still recovering from last Friday’s Fentanyl gig as we haul arse back to the New Cross Inn this evening.Continue Reading
There are plenty of gigs happening tonight, including a fair few rock n’ roll ones, but we rest assured that we’ve made the right choice with a bill of this quality - Botox, WitchDoktors and The Darts - at one of the few remaining great central London venues. Cheers to promoter Shake Some Acton for delivering the goods, and belated congratulations on passing the 100-gig mark!Continue Reading
If you’ve seen Fantazmaz live, you’ll know that the mostly-Brazilian London-based quartet are less a band than a force of nature. This album was recorded in just two days, and we’re happy to report that it’s as blisteringly intense as you could hope for.Continue Reading
