Rebellion 2010

Rebellion 2010

Rebellion Festival has firmly been established as one of the iconic global punk festivals with punks making the journey from all corners of the globe to attend this four day fiesta of punk rock on the sleepy seaside town of Blackpool, UK.  Distorted has been proudly covering the event for the past few years, we…

Subhumans + Girlfixer + Condition: Dead

Underworld
London, UK
Wednesday 11th August 2010
Although New Zealand’s Bad Town were listed on the poster and billing they don’t perform/show up/make the trip but the trio of bands kicked off early as all London gigs seem to.
Up first were Condition Dead, a four piece rough and ready punk rock  band with Alex (Al Symers) formerly…

The Slackers + Gecko

The Slackers + Gecko

Camden Jazz Cafe
London, UK
Tuesday 10th August 2010
I have been to lots and lots of London venues past and present but strangely never frequented Camdens famous Jazz Cafe and what better night to break my cherry with the always impressive Slackers and highly promising Gecko. I arrived at a fairly early hour and Gecko was…

Civet + Born To Lose + Mike TV + The Accelerators

Underworld
London, UK
Monday 9th August 2010
(Photos not available from actual show)

First up on what can mildly be described as an eclectic (or slightly misplaced grouping of bands on one bill) is Dutch based four piece, The Accelerators. Being a Monday night following the mighty Rebellion festival which saw the annual punk pilgrimage attracts thousands of…

Star Fucking Hipsters + The Filaments + Moral Dilemma

Underworld
London, UK
Wednesday 4th August 2010
The second night of Camden Carnage sees a slightly more raucous affair but the ska elements are still visible on the bill. Sadly I missed out on Moral Dilemma, the London local hardcore threesome have become far more visible on the touring scene in the past 18 months and been…

EP Reviews: Beat The Red Light/ Call Me Ishmael/ Night’s On Fire

Beat The Red Light
Beat The Red Light
TNS Records
We are a bit slow on this one to say the least, and with ample comparisons to Kid Dynamite and some hardcore ska akin to the mighty Voodoo Glow Skulls, Beat The Red Light are a enjoyable and original band. Opening track ‘Never A Dull moment’ has a…

Tuesday 3rd August 2010
(all photos are not from the actual show)
The first night of the series of gigs under the title of ‘Camden Carnage’ took place at Dingwalls in Camden and a skanking, reggaefied fiesta was in store for all. With The Skints a late surprise addition to the bill, they took to…

Album Reviews: Street Dogs/ Trevolt/ Refuse Resist

Street Dogs
Street Dogs
Hellcat Records
I have always enjoyed Street Dogs, their albums have been socially and politically conscious filled records full of Clash like inspired anthems whilst singer Mike McColgan is rarely upstaged live in delivering a quality nostalgic performance with the merry Dogs (bassist Johnny Rioux, guitarists Marcus Hollar and Tobe Bean III and drummer…

EP Reviews: Trenchtown/ Nox/ The Grozerians

Trenchtown
Trenchtown
Trenchtown are a Californian (Hermosa Beach) based band who have a reggae-rocking surfer punk rock sound, very East coast and with a healthy dose of radio friendly feel good music. With bands like Sublime, Pepper, Unwritten Law and even Authority Zero leaving their trace influences on the band, combined with producer Billy Graziadei’s (Biohazard, Sick…

Record Reviews: Good Riddance/ Sundowner/ Jeff Riddle

Capricorn One
Good Riddance
Fat Wreck Chords
Good Riddance were a underrated band, but with their demise in 2007, this collection of 21 tracks (and only 44 minutes long) is a great reminder of the legacy the East Coast melodic punks left and a reminder of the legions of bands that took inspiration from them. This is a…

The Bermondsey Joyriders

The Bermondsey Joyriders

The 100 Club
London, UK
Friday July 9th
What do you get when you cross classic London 1977 punk with addictive power-chorded rock ‘n’ roll and a heavy sprinkling of Johnny Thunders? Something not far off The Bermonsdey Joyriders – the missing link between the 60s and the 70s. Gary Lammin (ex-Cock Sparrer guitarist) and Martin Stacey…

The Vermin Suicides
Antipop Records
Starting off with the apt maniacal nah-nah nah-nahs this self proclaimed “bastard spawn of The Dead Class, 0898 and Dutch Porn Thursday” collective is the The Vermin Suicides. With the crazy wild eyed Anton le Verme on vocals and his crooning voice on EP opener ’State Of The Art’ with the…

The Mattless Boys

The Mattless Boys

The Good Ship
Kilburn High Road, UK
Saturday 26 June 2010
Among the many Old School Punk bands The Boys have always maintained a committed following not only in the UK, but throughout continental Europe and beyond.   The Boys themselves have been influential and iconic since ’77 with bad luck (including even the timing of Elvis’ death…
