Immersion is the project of post-punk musical duo Colin (Wire) and Malka (Minimal Compact) - Nic Howden dived in: “Immersion is Immersion. If you want something different, we aren’t that. Take us on our terms. We’re not like a second-rate Wire. We’re not instead of Wire until Wire comes along,” Colin Newman, October 2025.Continue Reading
At fifteen tracks in just under half an hour, ‘Echoes In Eternity’ certainly doesn’t outstay its welcome. Ultimately, this is Agnostic Front doing what they’ve always done, but they’re still doing it very well, and striking one hell of a blow for hardcore’s old guard into the bargain.Continue Reading
Barriers are clearly having a blast as they rip through anthems like ‘French Bulldog’ and ‘Sick Sad World’, and the couple of new tracks aired tonight bode well for their future. They come across as four close friends who decided to play melodic hardcore together - and those friends, it turns out, have serious musical chops and a gravel-throated beast of a frontman.Continue Reading
Australia’s not all sunshine, surfing and kangaroos, y’know. Australians have their troubles just like we all do, and that’s where Byron Bay quartet Mini Skirt draw much of their inspiration from. As vocalist Jacob Boylan says of recent single ‘Squeeze Down’: “The lyrics are about the unshakeable sense I had of feeling isolated, misunderstood and defensive about my identity.”Continue Reading

Live review: The Psychedelic Furs bring out ‘The Ghost in You’ on Halloween at The London Palladium!
On Halloween night, The Psychedelic Furs complete a highly successful UK tour in the rather grand setting of the London Palladium in Soho, with special guest Anja Huwe of Xmal Deutschland in support. Anja's vocals are still powerful, and sung with meaning and passion. Anticipation for the headliners is palpable amongst the capacity crowd as showtime approaches. Regularly Continue Reading
This six-track EP release 'Nuked' is a refreshing listen. Zombie Killers are a relatively new band who are not scared to mix up the musical styles in their noisy bowl of punk rock soup.Continue Reading
The relentless Headlines are back, with a new split EP in conjunction with Swedish punk legends Sator, and are celebrating with a sold-out gig in their hometown of Medley, Malmö, Sweden.
