Appropriately enough, considering that Moving Targets are a noisy trio from Massachusetts, much of this record brings to mind fellow noisy American trios Dinosaur Jr and Hüsker Dü. If you enjoy the aforementioned legends’ fondness for splicing melodies with seriously abrasive guitars, then trust us when we say that ‘Red Eyes’ will be right up your boulevard.Continue Reading

Infamous Stiffs' latest EP is entitled 'The Ornery Six'. This cool new release from Golden Robot Records can't go wrong, especially if you enjoy your punk/hardcore with a side order of rock 'n' roll!Continue Reading

The seagulls of Brighton were in for a treat last weekend, as they were to be served a generous helping of Punk Rock to go with their stolen chips. Daltons is my new favourite local venue, and with its beer garden backing literally onto Brighton Beach, it's a hard location to beat. We missed the Friday evening kick-off of Bright N Sleazy Festival, but we caught most of the Continue Reading

The Buffalo trio seemingly couldn’t care less that the Fighting Cocks is obviously not sold out - they’re far from home, and stoked that anyone has taken the time to show up on this grey and humid Thursday evening.Continue Reading

It’s forty years since Guana Batz released their debut ‘Held Down to Vinyl…At Last’ and there has been a seismic change in the music scene since then, but their appeal has remained steadfast. Opening tonight are Red Hot Riot who continue to fly the flag for the scene that refuses to go away.Continue Reading

Truly, Real Life Presents has been on a roll recently, with a week of great hardcore shows now coming to a close with a beast of a double header from Terminal Sleep and Spaced. If anyone out there made it to the full week of shows, you win at life; meanwhile, we’re still recovering from last Friday’s Fentanyl gig as we haul arse back to the New Cross Inn this evening.Continue Reading
