EP review: Explode The TV – ‘Catching The Rain’

By Alex Goose December 2, 2025

This EP is only ten minutes long, so that’s perfect for my gnat-like attention span. Opener ‘Catching The Rain’ rides in on a fabulously groovy bass line and those shimmering post-punk guitars that Explode The TV have long made their stock in trade.Continue Reading

Interview: Alex chats with Sheffield hardcore crew Nylon

By Alex Goose November 30, 2025

If I hadn’t gone for a browse in London’s excellent All Ages Records a few months ago, I wouldn’t have heard them playing Sheffield quartet Nylon’s excellent debut album ‘Chariot Of The Gods’ over the PA, and would have missed out on a short-but-great slice of stripped-down and brutally effective hardcore.Continue Reading

Spunge, London Signature Brew Haggerston, 28th Nov 2025

By Alex Goose November 30, 2025

Spunge, bless them, have long had a fine sense of the ridiculous, and the bizarre antics continue to this day. After all, why make a grand entrance when you could just get on stage and offer the crowd some Doritos? Why not pause mid-set whilst the crowd attempts to construct a human pyramid?Continue Reading

Wiccans, London New Cross Inn, 27th Nov 2025

By Alex Goose November 28, 2025

Texan headliners Wiccans are hardcore at its most noisy and chaotic, and they deservedly whip up a storm in the pit. They’ve been described as “Poison Idea trying to make a record in the style of Fucked Up” and we’d drink to that, with songs like the stomp-tactic four-minute ‘Primordial Sorcery’ clearly the work of a band with plenty of great ideasContinue Reading
