Album Review : Ancient Lights treat us to their debut LP ‘Reclamation’ – fusing folklore with anarcho-punk

By Sonny Tyler
This unique band - Ancient Lights - is based between Brighton, London and Exeter. 'Reclamation' is their debut album, and I can safely confirm that it's an interesting one. Fronted by Alex CF (formerly of emo/crust legends, Fall Of Efrafa), they make a pleasurable anarcho-punk noise, going at things from a historical angle. These 13-tracks will certainly keep you guessing Continue Reading

Canada has a rich history of producing interesting music, and you can now add Dead Bob to that list.

Interrobang urge us to ‘Rethink Everything’ with brilliant new album and EP release

By Sonny Tyler
Preparing ourselves for the long-awaited new Interrobang album, I'm ahappy to report it's a rather special one.

Based out of Santa Cruz in California (USA), Good Riddance are no strangers to the melodic punk scene, and over the decades, they have more than left their mark. 'Before The World Caves In' is the band's 10th studio album, and the first one in 7 years.

Album Review : Evil Blizzard whip up a storm with new LP ‘Death Songs & Lullabies’

By Sonny Tyler
This is the band's 5th album, and I'm happy to report that Evil Blizzard do not get any less interesting. The Preston, UK collective are known to wear disturbing rubber masks on stage, as well as having a penchant for creating bass-heavy psychedelic noise. 'Death Songs & Lullabies' incorporates Dub, Krautrock and Post-Punk, with Gothic elements thrown into the mix. They Continue Reading

Album Review : Eastfield are back with a bang, as their new self-titled release draws into the station

By Sonny Tyler
Hard-working, train-based band Eastfield are certainly no strangers to the DIY punk scene, and it's great to see them releasing a brand new self-titled album for our delectation. This is their second release on Grow Your Own Records, and it's an impressive one at that. Eastfield sing songs of a generally socio-political nature, but are also not scared to enjoy fun and Continue Reading

By Sonny Tyler
Formed in 2015, Bratakus consists of two sisters (Brèagha Cuinn on guitar and vocals, Onnagh Cuinn on bass and vocals). This will be the band's first album on Venn Records. Bratakus are usually accompanied by a drum machine, but on this recording, they have a human tub thumper onboard, in the form of Tommy Duffin who is also their producer. It all adds up to a beefed-up Continue Reading
