Album review: Rat Hole are not scared of calling you a C*nt!

By Ruth Rae
Essex boys Rat Hole are here to take you back to a time when punk was unpretentious, underrated, and unequivocally unspeakable! Debut album 'Proper Cunt Music' dropped on 5th June, along with a riotous album release party at London's legendary Hope & Anchor. Tongue-in-cheek tales of 21st century lads trying to make sense of their frequently tortured lives, their only Continue Reading

A celebration of everyone: Healthy Junkies new release ‘Son and a Daughter’

By Ruth Rae
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

Album review: Diaz Brothers – ‘The World Is Yours’ 

By Alex Goose
Well, after witnessing Diaz Brothers’ storming gig at London’s Hope & Anchor back in early January, how could we not check out their new record? ‘The World Is Yours’ (yep, that’s a ‘Scarface’ reference!) is the band’s second, after 2020’s self-titled debut, but the members are all old hands at this punk rock lark, having been active in other bands since the 80s.Continue Reading

Album review: Iron Lung – ‘Adapting // Crawling’

By Alex Goose
None more bleak. Perhaps Iron Lung should have chosen to release ‘Adapting // Crawling’ in the depths of winter, rather than in the springtime, because this is a seriously dark record - both sonically and lyrically. Occupying a space somewhere between hardcore and noise rock, it’s the American duo’s first release since 2013’s ‘White Glove Test’, and their fourth overall.Continue Reading

EP review: The Freudian Session release ‘Matter Of Time’

By Hannah Calver
Alternative punk/metal band The Freudian Session are based in Reading, UK. New EP release ‘Matter Of Time’ is sick as fuck! It consists of five tracks, all of which are heavy and raw. They show a lot of passion and emotion, and get the points across. So many insane riffs and basslines, loud and fast drums, and the vocals are on point with the rawness and intensity.Continue Reading

EP review: Ancestral Sin – ‘Next Of Sin’

By Alex Goose
Ancestral Sin hail from the Netherlands, and are true crossover veterans, having been blending hardcore and metal influences since 1989. This EP is the follow up to 2022’s full-length ‘Social Hate Speech’, and according to the band themselves, people who haven’t heard them before “should expect a speedy kick in the face until the very last second”. We’ve been warned.Continue Reading
