Fancy getting angry for 35 minutes? The Meffs have you covered. Their sophomore album 'Business' is ready to blast your ears from tomorrow, 11th September 2026, via Frontiers Label Group.

Album Review: Slalom D release ‘I Choose My Own Way To Burn’, giving us a lesson in melodic punk rock with a heart

By Sonny Tyler
Slalom D, Sunderland's finest, bring out their third album on Serial Bowl Records.

EP review: BE N!CE reveal ‘It’s Getting Harder’

By Richie Viral
London four-piece BE N!CE return with ‘It’s Getting Harder’, a six-track, fan-funded and independently released second EP. BE N!CE sound like a band finding strength in contradiction: funny and furious, ridiculous and painfully serious, political one minute and deeply personal the next. And right now, while apparently it’s getting harder, there’s no doubt that BE N!CE are Continue Reading
