From London and Brighton, Old Chase are a skate punk band who are releasing their third album ‘At The End Of All The Thrills’ on 3rd October 2025. Consisting of 11 short tracks, the longest is their last track ‘Endgame’, at 2 minutes 47 seconds. They may be brief, but each song has a lot of energy and passion! Fast, melodic, hardcore, rapid, aggressive, and catchy as fuck!Continue Reading
Out of the ‘biz’ for some time, Polly b Rose don’t look back. Their debut energetic, exciting, wonderfully excess free album 'Moltencholia' is 10 songs in 35 minutes, and it’s amok with emotive rhythms.Continue Reading
With Subhumans iconic logo, rapid-fire, hard-hitting lyrics and breakneck speed, crunching guitars, the band still stands out as one of the best anarcho-punk bands to come out of the early 80s. Supported by BarrelHaus, an alt-rock duo from Oxford. The dual guitars and vocal sharing duties work well here, producing a solid wall of sound that makes them sound like a far Continue Reading
The Let’s Go’s are pure musical joy. From the moment they kick off with the euphoric pop-punk rush of ‘In My Head’, the Japanese trio bounce around the stage with carefree abandon; they clearly love what they do, and it’s as if they can hardly believe that they’re so far from home and still drawing a decent crowd.Continue Reading
In terms of prime-quality blue collar punk n’ roll played with maximum passion, this takes us right back to seeing Social Distortion at the Astoria (RIP) twenty-odd years ago - it was a triumphant return for Mike Ness’s crew, and should he be looking to pass the torch to a new generation, The Drowns are absolutely ready to take it.Continue Reading
In truth, to label TV Death as merely a garage rock group would be to do them a disservice; they also take influence from psychedelia, post-punk, and just about all things loud and feral. The end result makes for one hell of a debut album.Continue Reading
On 31st August 2025, Paradiso held a punk festival in its big hall. Journalist and DJ Oscar Smit launched a new expanded version of the first volume of his book series on punk in Paradiso. This volume is about proto-punk in 1976, and the explosion in 1977, after the Sex Pistols had played Paradiso. There is also a new compilation LP on Suburban Records 'NEDERPUNK: The Continue Reading
Teo Wise and his band have come all the way from Italy, and from the start, it’s clear that they’re having a ball, with the main man brandishing his Flying V guitar like some kind of rock n roll rifle. Self-described as ‘spaghetti rock n’ roll’, he blends elements of punk, rock n’ roll and new wave with Italian-language lyrics.Continue Reading
Sure, there are elements of great bands like Fugazi, Refused, At The Drive-In and Les Savy Fav, but Club Brat have taken those influences and fearlessly fed them through a meat grinder, resulting in four tracks that sound at once familiar and like no-one else around.Continue Reading
