We caught Brighton skate-core crew RAD about a year ago, opening a local show for KNOFX (a NOFX tribute band), and were blown away by their take-no-prisoners approach. There were only a handful of people presence, but the band gave it their all, and played a set so tight that you’d swear they’d been honing their craft for years.Continue Reading

Ahhh, sweet simplicity. The multi-national Los Pepes generally rely on two main ingredients: irresistible melodies and raw, fuzzed-up punk rock guitars. Sometimes they go harder on one, sometimes the other, but the results are always great.Continue Reading

From Salt Lake City, Utah, Bridge The Gap arrived on the punk scene back in 2023, so you'd think they’re quite a newish band. In fact, they were friends back in the 90s and played and released music together until the early 2000s. Starting 2025 with their sophomore album 'Gainsayer', reorganising as a new band, they are better than ever! Full of catchy songs, with lots of Continue Reading

The 90s Epitaph/Fat Wreck skate punk sound has made quite the comeback, and you can add Californian quintet Another Damn Disappointment to the list of veteran bands breathing new life into the genre.Continue Reading

Their music is a mix of lo-fi punk, grunge, and metal, with it also being reminded of bands like Nirvana, L7, and Lush. This their third album 'Doll' was released on 28th March. What an incredible album to listen to! So heavy and raw, very authentic, lots of emotion and Continue Reading

Designed to truly tell the tale of The Chords UK, ‘But Then Again’ is an ambitious and inventive collection, featuring new and previously unreleased tracks, remastered / remixed / remade versions of favourites, unashamedly obscure B-sides, and even live recordings. Chris Pope and The Chords UK have unlocked a veritable treasure trove of music with ‘But Then Again: The Best Continue Reading

Manchester punk power-trio Aerial Salad are following last years acclaimed ‘R.O.I.’ album with a brand new 12” EP ‘Roi de l’herb’ to be released June 27th via Venn Records.Continue Reading

It’s skate punk, Jim, but not as we know it. In truth, to saddle Dutch Nuggets with that tag would be to sell them short - they’re too inventive and too downright odd to be written off as mere bit-players on the soundtrack of the latest incarnation of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Continue Reading
