Whiplass Records are big supporters of their local burgeoning femme-scene, and this is their very first album release:./ 'Teeth' collects together all of Spit Takes' EPs to date, along with an unreleased live track. If you like your punk rock to be feminist, queer-core and raucous, with the emphasis on having a good time, then look no further than 'Teeth'. This album, Continue Reading
Blurring the line between collaboration and confrontation, Dolium x LiVES collide on 'Shame!', a high-friction joint single. Rooted in indie rock and sharpened by punk urgency, it’s a track driven by tension, energy, and shared intent. Out on 15th May, see the video premiere exclusively on Punktuation Magazine today, 11th May 2026!Continue Reading
Although it may not scale the heights of my personal Social D favourite (that would be their 1990 self-titled record), ‘Born To Kill’ is an impressive effort - and all the more so considering that Mike is well into his 60s.Continue Reading
On 'Hopeless Overthinker', Dundee’s The Overbites have delivered a debut album that is filled with singalong hooks, self-deprecating wit and yet has the resigned indignation of a band trying to survive the pressures of modern life without losing themselves in the process. They aren’t reinventing punk rock here. Instead, they’re using its most enduring qualities; honesty, Continue Reading

Subversive Intent hail from San Diego, California, and on this debut album, they blast through ten tracks in a little over twelve minutes, quite rightly jettisoning everything that isn’t essential. As the likes of ‘Disappeared’ and ‘Coerced Perception’ zip past, elements of Poisoo Idea, Crass, touches of D-beat and NYHC-style crunch all make themselves heard.Continue Reading
It’s the final track - ‘Gawking At Infinity’ - where the band’s inventive streak really shines through. Initially built around a stop-start riff and propulsive drumming, it gives way to an epic breakdown of sorts, with what sounds like flashes of horns in the background.Continue Reading
Canada has a rich history of producing interesting music, and you can now add Dead Bob to that list. Featuring John Wright of Nomeansno fame on drums and vocals, along with members of bands like DOA, Pigment Vehicle, Invasives and Rong, this is surely a supergroup worth wrapping your ears around. Second album 'Nothing Changes Everything' has dropped onto our turntables Continue Reading
Returning after a 4 year gap with album #5, 'Below the Surface', it's heartening to hear that The Lizards have retained all of their trademark fire and fury. Barcelona's Punk superstars are as impressive and outspoken as ever in this long-awaited new release, another oustanding collection of songs for punks who feel intensely about seeing through society's bullshit while Continue Reading
