When we talk about comeback stories, few are as inspiring as the story of The Ghost Inside. Their horrific bus crash from 2015 has been well documented and left the band sidelined until their live comeback last year. Given the injuries they suffered being able to play again seemed nothing short of a miracle. Now…
Bleed From Within have been one of the most criminally overlooked metal bands of the last decade. The Glaswegians have released several great albums but never quite got the praise they deserve. Perhaps the 6 year delay between Uprising and Era caused some damage but the quality of their work has always been so high….
The Homeless Gospel Choir, also known as Derek Zanetti has spent the last couple of years building his profile within the DIY punk scene. Usually a one man project he’s now back with his fourth full length album, and this time he’s bought a lot of friends with him to start this new chapter. There’s…
2017’s Last Young Renegade seemed to leave All Time Low in a difficult position. The move to Fuelled By Ramen and the toning down of pop-punk elements in favour of a more radio pop sound felt like a clear play to push their mainstream popularity to the next level. Unfortunately it never seemed to quite…
Doo-wop isn’t usually a genre you’d expect metal fans to care about. But after their debut album got all kinds of attention, Twin Temple have become metal fans doo-wop band of choice. Now Twin Temple aren’t exactly your standard doo-wop band, the band describe it themselves as Satanic doo-wop. This isnt just a gimmick to…
Anti-Flag have certainly had no shortage of material to inspire them in recent years. Given the current bleak state of the world, there is plenty for a politically charged punk band to sing about. Whilst there is no doubting they would much rather the world be a better place this has resulted in some of…

With 2017’s After the Party The Menzingers cemented themselves as one of the best bands in modern punk rock. After building up a real dedicated fan base that album saw them explode to another level. This put a fair bit of pressure on them when it came to a follow up. Fortunately with Hello Exile, The…
2019 has been a really big year for Blood Youth so far. Their latest album Starve has seen the band move into a darker and heavier direction and their fans really have got on board with it. Earlier in the year they set out on a headline tour to celebrate its release that concluded in an oversold…
Ahead of their set at this years Slam Dunk festival we caught up with Pagan guitarist Xavier Santilli. With their debut album Black Wash really establishing Pagan as one of the most exciting new bands around it was great to hear from the band how the time since its release has been, how they came up with their sound…
It’s time once again for Slam Dunk to kick off the festival season. Returning to Hatfield house with its biggest line up yet, Slam Dunk looked set to get the season going with a bang and it did not disappoint. Whether it was the traditional pop-punk bands, NOFX’s Punk In Drublic festival or the amazing hardcore bands on…
Cut & Stitch is the second album from UK punks Petrol Girls. Like their previous work this is another furious blast of feminist punk. The thought behind Cut & Stitch is this ongoing patchwork of sounds and ideas. Both the bands musical influences and political ideas, that change is a constant process and this is something that…
