EP review: ‘¡No Pasarán!’ by Dutch punks Mouser

By Herman de Tollenaere February 25, 2025

Mouser, four veteran punks, release new songs on the fascist threat, mobile phones, refugees and forced labour in prisons in their debut EP '¡No Pasarán!'. They say they write fast, to the point,  catchy, sharp, sometimes very short songs, with uncompromising lyrics which expose our derailed society.Continue Reading

Album review: Black Spiders – ‘Cvrses’

By Alex Goose February 25, 2025

Isn’t rock n’ roll supposed to be a young person’s game? Then how come so many of the old guard are doing such a great job of breathing new life into the genre? A case in point: Sheffield rockers Black Spiders, who are about to unleash a beast of a fifth album in ‘Cvrses’, and who only seem to have become ever leaner, meaner and hungrier since forming back in 2008.Continue Reading

Album review: Split Dogs – ‘Here To Destroy’

By Alex Goose February 24, 2025

There’s one glaring omission on ‘Here To Destroy’; namely that, unlike a Split Dogs gig, it comes without vocalist Harry Atkins’ utterly magnetic stage presence.

Suffice Continue Reading

Based in Nashville, Winona Fighter - frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Coco Kinnon, lead guitarist Dan Fuson and bassist/producer Austin Luther - formed after Coco moved there from Boston.

Album Review: MC16’s debut ‘Machine Code’

By Ruth Rae February 13, 2025

Musically, MC16 are a short sharp shock of classic punk rock - a whirlwind of snarl and bite, mixed with a ragged melody and street-wise energies. These punk festival favourites are about to release their eagerly anticipated full-length debut album, 'Machine Code'. MC16 are as close to a modern day Clash as I've heard - saying it straight, taking no prisoners, and with Continue Reading
