Can you believe it's been 45 years since The RuTs released their second album 'Grin & Bear It'? Promising a set to include several rarely-played songs from the album, RuTs DC hit the road in November 2025 on a short UK tour. Second stop was the unlikely town of Esher, accopanied by the mighty WitchDoktors on their 'IZZATSO?' album release tour and local hero Joe Bitter.Continue Reading
Nearly 30 years into their existence, and still bursting with youthful energy; we’d love to know The Hyperjax’s secret. This is the Preston trio’s sixth album, and whilst it’s hardly a departure from their signature sound, it’s comforting to realise once again that - in an increasingly uncertain world - you can rely on The Hyperjax to bring the tunes, the energy, and then some.Continue Reading
Yabba Dabba Doo! Prehistoric Rock 'n' roll comes to the South Coast from CaveGirl & The Neandergals, with The Tridents and Joanna & The Dropouts along for the ride..Continue Reading
Now into their 51st touring year, The Stranglers have survived many of the very worst things that can happen to a band. Their immense and impressive back catalogue stretches through the decades, yet it’s been a point of consternation for many fans that despite a wealth of material, they were hearing the same songs over and over again when the band played live. Fortunately, Continue Reading
The seagulls of Brighton were in for a treat last weekend, as they were to be served a generous helping of Punk Rock to go with their stolen chips. Daltons is my new favourite local venue, and with its beer garden backing literally onto Brighton Beach, it's a hard location to beat. We missed the Friday evening kick-off of Bright N Sleazy Festival, but we caught most of the Continue Reading
The Buffalo trio seemingly couldn’t care less that the Fighting Cocks is obviously not sold out - they’re far from home, and stoked that anyone has taken the time to show up on this grey and humid Thursday evening.Continue Reading

On 2nd June 2025, Colin Jerwood passed away at 63 years of age. He was the singer (often one of two singers) of Conflict from the founding of the band in 1981 until their recent album ‘This Much Remains’, and the only remaining member of the original line-up.Continue Reading
For this evening's gig we had the pleasure of Voodoo Radio followed by Shonen Knife at The Facebar in Reading. Many thanks to Steven Siddle and Nigel Poole from Club Velocity for what turned out to be a brilliant evening of Punk. It was great to see a packed room full of people, all there to see these two great bands. I would highly recommend Shonen Knife - if you get the Continue Reading
Backed by a 7-strong band, Iggy Pop prowled onto the stage, rapidly discarding his leather waistcoat, taking front and centre place. There was no doubt that this man can effortlessly command a crowd of thousands with his immense stage presence. Exuding a wild spirit with his raw, unfettered attitude, this was Iggy's night from start to finish. Backed by his hand-picked Continue Reading
