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

Of all the adjectives one could throw at Manchester punk trio Aerial Salad, ‘romantic’ isn’t the one that first comes to mind, but you get the feeling that at least some of the five tracks on 'Roi De L'Herbe' (their first release since last year’s superb ‘R.O.I.’ album) were written with that special someone in mind.Continue Reading

Punky oddballs from East Sussex,UK, Gripper Lee are known for their darkly witty lyrics, earworm hooks, blistering guitar, and expressive drumming. Never a band to stand still, they've just released their latest EP 'Look Away Now' comprising 5 enticing tracks, with new recruit Jusin Saban adding his guitar wizardry to the mix. 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

Our favourite St Albans Rock 'n' Rollers The Zipheads release their third studio album 'Rock'n'Roll Renaissance' today! Twelve terrific tracks chart the influence of Rock ‘n’ Roll upon almost every type of modern music, from Hard Rock to Rhythm & Blues, Pop to Punk, and Swing to Ska. The Zipheads are taking the new album on the road - join them at The Underworld Camden Continue Reading

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

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

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

What’s with all these North American bands doing such a fine job of straddling the hardcore and noise-rock camps? We’ve only just reviewed the fearsome new Iron Lung album, and now here come Toronto quintet Dogwhistle with an absolute beast of a debut EP.Continue Reading

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
