Album review: The Mary Tyler Whores – ‘As Filthy As We Wanna Be’

By Alex Goose September 22, 2026

On reading their biography, it’s hard not to be amazed that The Mary Tyler Whores exist in the 21st century, never mind that they’ve managed to record a whole album. Back in the day (we’re talking around 1999), the Floridians caused and courted chaos in equally large measures...Continue Reading

Album review: Split Dogs – ‘Nice N’ Rough’

By Alex Goose September 21, 2026

It’s always a nice surprise when a reliably great band unexpectedly ups their game even further, and that’s exactly what Bristol quartet Split Dogs have done on ‘Nice N’ Rough’, their third album. In the words of vocalist Harry Martinez, they’ve “not lost what we were, but we’ve evolved and tightened the screws, made it a little slicker".Continue Reading

Spunge, London Signature Brew Blackhorse Road, 19th Sept 2026

By Alex Goose September 20, 2026

Spunge and Signature Brew seems to be a winning combination! Last year the Tewkesbury ska-punks took the venue’s Haggerston branch by storm for a sold-out show, and now they’ve returned - this time to the larger Blackhorse Road venue - for a show co-promoted by the good folks at P-Rock TV.Continue Reading

Shake Some Acton gig #173, London Hope & Anchor, 18th Sept 2026

By Alex Goose September 19, 2026

Ahhh, quality rock n’ roll, the universal panacea. It’s not been the easiest of weeks for us, so we’re in need of music to feel revitalised and reborn. Pretty handy, then, that Shake Some Acton are here, with a quality bill that defies any self-respecting punk/rock n’ roll fan to stay at home this evening.Continue Reading

Album review: M*ARX – ‘Red Planet Blue’

By Ian Ladlow September 17, 2026

Goth pioneer Gary Marx - co-founder of of The Sisters of Mercy - returns to his East Coast glam rock roots with latest album 'Red Panet Blue'. With over thirty songs on the CD version, the album pays homage to the sounds of 1972, with guest singers of Gary's age selected to appear on several tracks. A fun album and an excellent tribute to the year of Gary’s musical epiphany! Continue Reading

Interview a Punk Promoter #3: Mauro of Some Weird Sin

By Alex Goose September 15, 2026

The duo, consisting of Simon and Mauro, specialise in London shows and club nights featuring punk/rock n’ roll/glam/indie-pop/etc. - just trust us when we say it’s all superb stuff! We caught up with Mauro for a chat recently…Continue Reading

Live review: The Damned and The Darts down under at The Tivoli, Brisbane 11/09/2026

By Phil Withall September 14, 2026

A Damned gig, even after 50 years, is a magnificent musical experience. This is a band of talented friends that still enjoy playing together, entertaining and embracing what they have built. But it's more than that. For the people that came it’s a portal to people and places long since past, to venues both big and small. Every song has a memory, an emotion, a connection.

Album review: David Delinquent & The IOUs debut ‘Scandal’

By Richie Viral September 14, 2026

I knew from the first time I caught them live, that there was something magnificently Dundee about David Delinquent & The IOU’s. Not Scottish in the tourist-board sense - no kilts, or mist rolling over glens here, but Dundee: funny, stubborn, unpretentious and seemingly suspicious of anybody taking themselves too seriously.Continue Reading

Album review: The Drowns – ‘Harsh Reality’

By Alex Goose September 14, 2026

One question: are the songs any good? That’s what most fans of The Drowns will want to know about ‘Harsh Reality’, the band’s fourth album. Put it this way: it’s unlikely that the Seattle crew are going to take any sharp turns into, say, metalcore or dubstep territory at this stage in the game - thank goodness.Continue Reading

Drug Church, London Electric Ballroom, 11th Sept 2026

By Alex Goose September 12, 2026

Memo to self: next time you encounter a promising debut release, keep an eye on the band. Back in 2013, I reviewed Drug Church’s first album, ‘Paul Walker’, for another publcation; I enjoyed it, but then life got in the way, and I promptly forgot about the band until I witnessed their triumphant, tent-packing set at last year’s Outbreak Festival.
