 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

 Miss the glory days of Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords-style skate punk? It's safe to say that Southampton trio Everyone Lies do too, as they're doing a great job of breathing new life into the genre. They're about to release a new EP, 'Web Of Lies', and we caught up with the band for a chat ahead of their Salisbury launch gig and London show with The Drowns.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

 Of all the many great punk and rock n’ roll bands that Witchdoktors recall, Rocket From The Crypt are forefront in our minds tonight; not just because the riff from ‘Neck Tattoo’ resembles that of the San Diego crew’s 90s hit ‘On A Rope’, but also because these guys are showmen through and through.Continue Reading

 Not only do the French quartet turn in a belter of an 18-song set, sounding like a bunch of garage-punks who’ve broken into Devo’s practice room and are going nuts with the synthesisers, they also have a bassist who plays a THEREMIN with the neck of his instrument!Continue Reading
