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

As prolific as we at Punktuation like to think we are, we can’t quite measure up to Mannie of Shake Some Acton fame. Putting on gigs can be a damn stressful business (certainly more so than writing about them), but he’s somehow managed to make nearly fifty of them happen this year alone!Continue Reading

Having spent much of the last 5 years tearing up stages all across Europe, Valencia, Spain-based whirlwind band Deaf Devils have finally managed to slow down for long enough to record their self-titled debut album.
