The album consists of 10 tracks, some of which are in Spanish, some in English. The language of punk is universal!

If it’s truly thunderous, bass-driven riffs you’re after, then Dead Air are your men for the job. Seriously, we’re talking ones that the giants of desert rock (yep, QOTSA, Kyuss, Fu Manchu et al) would probably kick themselves for not having written. Continue Reading

The temperature’s dropping, it’s dark outside, and it’s a Sunday evening, but we’re glad we made it out. Tonight, we’re at The Lexington to see three bands, two of which feature Mosrite-style guitars à la Johnny Ramone, and also a bunch of New Yorkers who need to be shown that London crowds can hold their own. We’re here, and we’re excited as hell.Continue Reading

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

It’s the sixth album from Leeds trio Nervous Twitch, who combine the urgency of first-wave punk with jangly power-pop melodies that wouldn’t sound out of place on a C86 compilation. They’re doing more or less what they’ve always done, true, but they’re doing it very well.Continue Reading
