Suburban Legends are not going to be outdone at their own show. Not since the early UK shows of Less Than Jake have we seen a band so determined to turn a gig into one big party.Continue Reading

From the North East of England, IRKED slot somewhere between modern garage punk, ’80s hardcore and eggy post-punk. They've just released their first full-length record, 'The Grievance', after making "snotty radge music" since 2022. 'The Grievance' is a rapid-fire garage punk hate letter to the sicknesses that abound in the world. No holds barred, no bars held.Continue Reading
With their latest album, ‘Cold World’, Canadian punk stalwarts The Flatliners show that it is possible to continue to evolve even after 24 years together. A very engaging record, showcasing the abilities of the four friends, the variety of the songwriting, and the subtlety of hand at play.Continue Reading
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
Sixteen bands - two stages - no clashes! Shadow Promotions put on a memorable and mighty varied Punk Festival in the form of Shadow Shuffle 3 at Reading Facebar, where we celebrated and eclectic mix of styles falling under the punk umbrella!Continue Reading
Cynics might say that the Screeching Weasel of today are really The Ben Weasel Band, following the departure of then sole remaining co-founder John Jughead, but it’s safe to say that, as they rip into opener ‘I’m Gonna Strangle You’, everyone present is just thrilled to have them back.Continue Reading
This unique band - Ancient Lights - is based between Brighton, London and Exeter. 'Reclamation' is their debut album, and I can safely confirm that it's an interesting one. Fronted by Alex CF (formerly of emo/crust legends, Fall Of Efrafa), they make a pleasurable anarcho-punk noise, going at things from a historical angle. These 13-tracks will certainly keep you guessing 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
Here at Punktuation, we like to believe we don’t care what anyone else thinks, but it is nice to back a winning horse, and clearly there are plenty of other folks out there who enjoyed Australian quartet Mini Skirt’s excellent sophomore album ‘All That We Know’ as much as we did.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
