Live Review: Die Toten Hosen – Vega, Copenhagen, Denmark 29th August 2025

By Per-Åke Wärn September 1, 2025

When German punks Die Toten Hosen (The Dead Trousers) returned to Copenhagen for the first time in about 30 years, tickets for the +1500 capacity Vega sold out in under 10 minutes! The evening kicks off with a short sharp set by The Dead End Kids, another German band, picked by the headliners as support at most of the gigs on their ‘Keep Calm & Carry On – Euro Tour 2025’.

Album review: Launch Control release ‘The Omnipotent Wage’

By Hannah Calver August 31, 2025

Berkshire's best kept Punk Rock secret tell us how fucked the world is! Reading-based band Launch Control are socio-political punks, who have been together since 2011. ‘The Omnipotent Wage’ is their first full length album, combining thoughtful, socially conscious lyrics with hard-hitting high tempo punk rock, and incorporates genre-bending influences from metal to Continue Reading

Shake Some Acton gig #110, London Hope & Anchor, 30th August 2025

By Alex Goose August 31, 2025

Barcelona quintet Radioactivas come across as much a gang as a band, and they’re a gang that we wanna join. Vocalist Eri hands out some Iggy Pop masks for us to wear before the swaggering ‘La Iguana’; appropriate enough, given that her band have clearly taken plenty of influence from The Stooges. And hey, why not? Continue Reading

EP review: Dunce release ‘Penis Fly Trap’

By Hannah Calver August 27, 2025

Brighton-based band Dunce are not the same as your typical punk band. They have some similarities to Primus and Warmduscher, so the punk element is there for sure, but they also have a techno spin to their music! Their latest EP, ‘Penis Fly Trap’ consists of four tracks; all are unique and very different..Continue Reading

Shake Some Acton gig #108, London Water Rats, 23rd Aug 2025

By Alex Goose August 25, 2025

Great tunes played with passion and no end of roguish charm; that’s The Long Tall Texans way, and it’s a recipe that still draws crowds after all these years. Oh, and a sense of humour - how else to explain the chuckle-worthy closer ‘What Part Of Fuck Off Don’t You Understand’?Continue Reading

Equals What?, London Deptford Endeavour, 22nd August 2025

By Alex Goose August 23, 2025

Headliners Equals What? are - to their eternal credit - an inclusive and gloriously riotous band. Inclusive, in the sense that their vocalist isn’t shy to confront bigotry and say the things that (alas) still need to be said.Continue Reading

Instigators, London Underworld, 16th Aug 2025

By Alex Goose August 18, 2025

Every so often, we see a band that makes us wish we’d been born a good decade or so earlier. Last year, it was Midway Still; this year, Instigators play the kind of urgent, passionate set that has us envious towards those who saw the anarcho-punk quartet back in their 80s/early 90s heyday.Continue Reading

Live review: Fantazmaz at Trinity, Harrow, on 15th Aug 2025

By Alex Goose August 17, 2025

A while back, I resolved to try to stop constantly comparing bands to my beloved Motörhead, but it has to be said that Lemmy and co would surely approve of Fantazmaz; tonight, everything really is louder (and rawer, and more intense) than everyone else.Continue Reading
