Setting the tone for a Blue Monday (20th Jan) single release!
After an eventful year, London-based Brazilian bass and drums duo Yur Mum kick off 2025 with ‘Guilt’, the latest single from their 2024 album ‘Duality‘. This track stands out on its own, with a different sound from their previous releases. It has a darker tone, which makes it the perfect soundtrack for this forthcoming Blue Monday.

‘Guilt‘ features the pair’s signature fuzzed-out bass riffs and heavy yet groovy drumming. For the first time, drummer Fabio Couto shares lead vocal duties, while bassist Anelise Kunz additionally includes a haunting piano line which further enhances the track’s atmosphere. Kunz also deploys her unique vocal range, delivering a more melodic performance on the second half of the song.
It also happens to be one of our favourite songs on the album here at Punktuation!

Album review: Lunchmeat return from a 10 year hiatus with ‘End Of Man’
After a decade-long hiatus, Canadian grunge punks Lunchmeat are back to ‘caterwaul about middle age and global catastrophe’ in their new release; ‘End of Man’.
Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
