A promising debut single that demonstrates a solid foundation for their future. So at the moment we’re all pretty fucked. We can’t go out and see mates, the Covid death count is increasing and Americans are drinking bleach. In times like this we need something to keep morale up and luckily for us there areContinue reading “Spiceland – Red Brick”

The Chats – High Risk Behaviour
A raw and filthy album about sun and booze, in which the aesthetic is so potent I began to drink half-way through writing this. At last, Australia’s mighty pub-friendly trio has dropped another album of short but sweet bangers amid the period of self-isolation. I’m very happy to say that these boys haven’t tampered withContinue reading “The Chats – High Risk Behaviour”
Anorexia Isan – The Sad Album
A variety of sounds that will make you anxious, excitable, depressed and overwhelmed. About a week ago, shortly after I posted my previous post on the similarities between punk and trap, I received a DM from a guy named Johnny about his band Anorexia Isan. He sent me link to a music video of aContinue reading “Anorexia Isan – The Sad Album”
Why trap is the modern day punk.
A lot of punks are probably disgusted at this title but just take a minute to read. A couple days ago, after a good sweaty rehearsal session, my bandmate and I sat down and decided to whack on the new Lil Peep documentary ‘Everybody’s Everything’ on Netflix. Neither one of us are fans of trapContinue reading “Why trap is the modern day punk.”
Four Year Strong – Brain Pain
As I opened my laptop yesterday morning, with the mission to find a new punk album to review, Spotify hit me with one of the best notifications I’ve received in a long time…. “Four Year Strong have released a new album!” The gloriously bearded and scream friendly metalcore/pop-punk band are back, and they haven’t changedContinue reading “Four Year Strong – Brain Pain”
SPILT – No Ball Games
This album is like a scary acid trip. But the kind of trip that you take something good away from the experience. Let’s start off by stating that I’ve never really listened to much psychedelic grunge before. To be honest, it creeps me out. Which I’m pretty sure in most cases is kind of theContinue reading “SPILT – No Ball Games”
Dune Rats – Hurry Up and Wait
An indie/punk fusion that will prematurely get you ready for festival season. Ok. So, I’m a couple weeks late on this one. When Spotify notified me about this new release, I was excited. But I was amid one of those music-listening routines where you have a certain playlist of new songs that you can’t waitContinue reading “Dune Rats – Hurry Up and Wait”
Green Day – Father of All…
Kinda messy and loud. But different and worthwhile. When I first heard the single ‘Father of All…’ my immediate thought (like everyone else) was that this song didn’t sound anything like a Green Day song. It seemed to have more of an element of The Black Keys, but nonetheless it made me excited to hearContinue reading “Green Day – Father of All…”
Nuraghe – Ubuntu
An old-skool skate punk album that promises a bright future for these guys. So, I was scrolling through Instagram the other day, aimlessly and gormless, when I came across this gnarly little hardcore band from Barcelona named Nuraghe. They had a fair few posts of some steezy looking artwork that was promoting their new debutContinue reading “Nuraghe – Ubuntu”
Interview with Nurghe
So the other day I wrote a review about a small punk band from Barcelona called Nuraghe and their debut album, Ubuntu. Well the boys saw and appreciated the review and so i caught up with drummer, Charley, to get a better idea of the bands inspirations and aspirations. HOW LONG HAVE YOU GUYS BEENContinue reading “Interview with Nurghe”
