Star Fucking Hipsters + Dirty Revolution + Throats + Defcon Zero
Purple Turtle
London, UK
Tuesday 27th April 2010
Another ‘school night’ and another great show lined up in the capital. The Purple Turtle opposite the more glamorous Koko in North London has a line of crusty punks in their ripped denim and leather uniforms drinking outside the venue with the bands themselves intermingling with friends while the…

Sonic Boom Six + Knockout + Kickback UK
Manchester Academy
Manchester, UK
Sunday 18th April 2010
Kickback UK, obviously stoked to be playing this gig, are eager to get stuck into their set and get people dancing. A couple of technical hitches and broken strings allowed for that uneasy moment where the silence needs to be filled with a good few minutes of awkward banter…

Mustard Plug + Random Hand + Dirty Revolution
Satan’s Hollow
Manchester, UK
Wednesday 14th April 2010
Having always had a soft spot for a band with a female singer, Dirty Revolution’s Reb Elle did not leave me disappointed, her voice a cross between Save Ferris’ Monique Powel and The Luchagors’ Lita Dumas. Her clear cut vocals with the slightest hint of a growl tackle modern…

It’s been close to 2 years now since the release of ‘For The Win’, and I’m happy to announce my first official full length album is nearing completion!

Album Reviews: GBH / Robb Blake / Paddy And The Rats
Perfume And Piss
GBH
Hellcat Records
An eleventh studio album is pretty impressive no matter who you are, but add in one of the most common leather jacket, ripped jeans adorning letters of GBH and the name rings global punk rock respect. No doubt many people might not know who they are but the mere ever presence…

Hepcat +The Delegators
Islington Bar Academy
London, UK
Saturday 3rd April 2010
On what should be massive night for Hepcat and fans of quality ska in London, Hepcat play a downgraded venue in terms of size; the Islington Bar Academy. It’s something which comes as a bit of a shock and a surprise, the photographers obviously bemoaning the poorer lighting…

The Skints + China Shop Bull + Anti Vigilante + Harijan
Star & Garter
Manchester, UK
Thursday 18th March 2010
Having not seen Harijan for a good couple of years, I was looking forward to seeing them again, and was not left disappointed. Many a band decide to take a different direction after a period of time, but Harijan have stayed with their ska-punk sound and it works…

Crazy Arm + Ben Childs + The Human Project
The Parish
Huddersfield, UK
Sunday 14th March 2010
Formerly known as Nanas Revenge, The Human Project is a band that I’ve seen on many occasions, but never really watched. Under their new title, and with ex Random Hand drummer Joe Dimuantes on bass, I figured it’s about time I gave them my proper attention. Though the room…

Letters EP
Hearts Under Fire
I saw this young all girl band play during last year’s summer and despite some enforced line-up changes since, the band has maintained a similar hard rocking melodic punk sound which I first heard. What appealed to me at the time, live at least, was that they didn’t enforce stereotypes; an…
