New Releases
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
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
Fancy getting angry for 35 minutes? The Meffs have you covered. Their sophomore album 'Business' is ready to blast your ears from tomorrow, 11th September 2026, via Frontiers Label Group. Featuring 11 tracks of gloriously scrappy, politically-charged punk that takes swings at the music industry, corrupt systems, performative authenticity and pretty much anything else Continue Reading
Slalom D, Sunderland's finest, bring out their third album on Serial Bowl Records. Tilte 'I Choose My Own Way To Burn' comes from a quote by anti-fascist Sophie Scholl, who was put to death in her early 20's for peacefully protesting against the Nazi regime. There's a song for her in here, amongst a brilliant set of tracks with plenty to say, all put across in an Continue Reading
Yes, Ruts DC are about to release their first ever EP, 'Bound In Blood' - read what Segs has to say about the songwriting, the long-term family connection with its artwork, and why he only pleges allegiance to autonomy - in an exclusive Punktuation! interviewContinue Reading
What a tantalizing name for a band! Stabbitha & The Knifey Wifeys have just released a brand-new album, 'Disgust', and my attention was well and truly piqued. They don't cover the subjects you would necessarily expect from a band with Death Metal influences, where "beneath the distortion, lies a deeply personal exploration of womanhood, queerness, survival and loss." This Continue Reading
Guitarist Mick Rossi and his cohort of punk rock veterans have a new album coming out, ‘White Heat’, the first under the Slaughter and the Dogs banner in a long time. Featuring twelve new songs written by Mick, and one cover, the album comes out via Cadiz Music on 4th September 2026. A mature and natural progression from the band’s 20th century albums, filled with Mick and Continue Reading
London four-piece BE N!CE return with ‘It’s Getting Harder’, a six-track, fan-funded and independently released second EP. BE N!CE sound like a band finding strength in contradiction: funny and furious, ridiculous and painfully serious, political one minute and deeply personal the next. And right now, while apparently it’s getting harder, there’s no doubt that BE N!CE are Continue Reading
Joining millions of fans around the world mourning the sudden passing of the Queen of Nashville, this is the perfect rock tribute from Bad Wolves - their cover of 'Jolene' by Dolly PartonContinue Reading
From Southern California, punk rock veterans Zebrahead formed back in 1996, the same year I was born. It’s strange to think I’m the same age as a legendary band, but there we go! Their music ranges from punk rock, pop punk, rap rock, and rapcore.Continue Reading
