Well, the Descendents certainly need no introduction from us! The Californian quartet helped lay the foundations for much of what could be termed pop-punk, with their landmark debut ‘Milo Goes To College’ in 1982.

Meet Missratched. Despite not being known to many, the staunchly-DIY Lyon four-piece have actually been going since 2012 under various lineups, with demo and EP releases to their name. The latest EP, ‘Miettes’, landed early last month. Its title translates from French as “crumbs”.Continue Reading
U.S. Punk supergroup Fake Names release their third album on Epitaph Records - merging D.C. post-hardcore with modern power-pop. 'Punk Ruins' dissects the political manipulation and social neurosis of modern life, while holding on to punk’s salvation.Continue Reading


Did you know that we are 100% DIY? We run our own game. No one dictates to us, and no one drives what we can or cannot put on our pages – and this is how we plan to continue!
