By Herman de Tollenaere July 5, 2025

On 26th June 2025, Pussy Riot brought their Riot Days show to het Paard in the Hague. Canadians New Age Doom and local punks Dolly Min opened for them.

By Phil Thorns July 4, 2025

Leeds’ music scene breaths grit. Warehouse raves, postpunk rebellions and goth nights have been its lifeblood for decades.

By Alex Goose June 30, 2025

If you’ve seen Fantazmaz live, you’ll know that the mostly-Brazilian London-based quartet are less a band than a force of nature. This album was recorded in just two days, and we’re happy to report that it’s as blisteringly intense as you could hope for.Continue Reading

Album review: Rival Pack – ‘Burn’

By Alex Goose June 25, 2025

It’s only recently that I came to realise just how rich the Benelux region is in metallic hardcore. From the recent return of veterans such as Born From Pain and Ancestral Sin, to newer bands such as Mindwar (the Belgians’ debut ‘Still At War’ is a belter), and now this first offering from West Netherlands quintet Rival Pack.Continue Reading

Album review: M.U.T.T. – ‘Toughest Street In Town’

By Alex Goose June 23, 2025

Here at Punktuation, we like it when bands blend punk and rock n’ roll with a sense of humour, and in that respect, this second album from Bay Area quartet M.U.T.T. is pretty much tailor-made for us! Formed from the ashes of the critically acclaimed Culture Abuse, they’ve taken the ballsy (or just crazy?) step of naming several of their tracks after classic rock and metal Continue Reading

Dion Lunadon/Los Pepes, London The Lexington, 20th June 2025

By Alex Goose June 22, 2025

Be it venturing into the crowd (with his guitar, natch), inviting a random crowd member onstage to play keyboard, or even playing his own instrument with a length of chain (of all things!), you get the feeling that Dion and his band would stop at nothing to keep the rock n’ roll party going - and for that, we salute them.Continue Reading
