Brighton-based punk band Not The Face! formed back in 2019, releasing their self-titled EP in 2020, and have now released their 12 track debut album ‘How Vulgar’.

Told in the designer's own words, a true punk story of rewriting a negative to symbolize a powerful positive. LOWLIFE isn’t just another streetwear brand.

Athens, Greece punk rock quartet The Overjoyed have just released their third self-titled studio album. The songs are about subjects like personal struggles, mental health, addiction and identity. Of the opening track 'Can’t Write Music', Leonidas writes: “I was in a really dark place… struggling with self-identity, drugs, a break-up… while living in a world recovering Continue Reading

This whole album just screamed at me! So honest and relatable in so many different ways. You can easily sing along and dance to these tracks, and also do some air guitar and air drumming, which of course I did all of this throughout! So much emotion within the lyrics, you can feel it.Continue Reading

A sold-out Thursday on 12th February in Cologne proves that you don’t need a big stage to create an unforgettable night - just 130 punks, warm beer showers and a band that never lost its edge.. Knochenfabrik and Sex Piemels 77 tore apart the Sonic Ballroom during Carnival season!Continue Reading
