It’s only recently that I came to realise just how rich the Benelux region is in metallic hardcore. From the recent return of veterans such as Born From Pain and Ancestral Sin, to newer bands such as Mindwar (the Belgians’ debut ‘Still At War’ is a belter), and now this first offering from West Netherlands quintet Rival Pack.Continue Reading

Blink and you’ll miss this one! At only ten minutes long, ‘I Think It’s Time To Leave…’ doesn’t stick around, but the passion and energy contained within is certainly helping us get off the sofa and actually DO things on these hot, lazy days.Continue Reading

Here at Punktuation, we like it when bands blend punk and rock n’ roll with a sense of humour, and in that respect, this second album from Bay Area quartet M.U.T.T. is pretty much tailor-made for us! Formed from the ashes of the critically acclaimed Culture Abuse, they’ve taken the ballsy (or just crazy?) step of naming several of their tracks after classic rock and metal Continue Reading

If you're into insanely catchy, socially Continue Reading

YES! This, my friends, is hardcore as it ought to be; raw, filthy, and bursting with righteous anger. ‘Demonomics’ is the follow-up to 2023’s excellent ‘Escape From New York’, and it sees the NYC-based quartet sounding fiercer than ever.Continue Reading

Essex boys Rat Hole are here to take you back to a time when punk was unpretentious, underrated, and unequivocally unspeakable!

Tongue-in-cheek tales of 21st century lads trying to make sense of their frequently tortured lives, their only Continue Reading

One of our favourite tracks from Camden crossover punks Healthy Junkies' latest album, 'Listen To The Mad', has just been released with a truly fabulous video to accompany the song. Positivity radiates brightly throughout 'Son and a Daughter', in spite of its subject matter; gender identity and the bullying that people suffer as a result of not being on the binary.Continue Reading
