Cheap Girls – Famous Graves
Aw yeah, vintage Cheap Girls. I was lucky enough to see these guys last year with The Bouncing Souls in Glasgow and that was it, I was in love. With that in mind, I’m reviewing from one cold listen to … Continue reading
Guerrilla Monsoon – December [video]
Birmingham-based emo/punk four-piece Guerrilla Monsoon have uploaded a new video for a song which features on their upcoming split with New York’s Gameday Regulars. The record is being released on August 4th by Paper + Plastick in the US and … Continue reading
Free Throw – Lavender Town
Free Throw have all the makings of a class act, producing a highly melodic and thoughtful sound which combines elements of pop and gruff punk. Boasting a total of three guitars, theirs is certainly a busy sound, and they have … Continue reading
Muscle and Bone – Peace And Light
Peace And Light is the debut full length album from North Carolina’s Muscle and Bone. If you’re a fan of Bracket, Appleseed Cast or Weezer, then I can recommend this. Muscle and Bone have moved on from basically being an … Continue reading

Waking Aida – Eschaton
Eschaton is the first full-length album from Southampton’s Waking Aida. It’s also the first full-length put out wholly by label Robot Needs Home. Knowing the album was produced by Maybeshewill bassist Jamie Ward, I had high expectations for this album. … Continue reading
Two Houses – Disappointer
Do you remember a little while back, I reviewed an EP by a Chicago punk band called Tens? You don’t? Well first of all, you need to read that review and then listen to that EP, just so you’re up … Continue reading
Masked Intruder – M.I.
I loved Masked Intruder‘s self-titled first album. It was a fast-paced pop punk record which was basically a concept album about loving someone, stalking them, and – ultimately – getting arrested over it. Unfortunately, M.I. doesn’t match up to the … Continue reading
End Of Pipe – Keep Running
It is hard to believe Brazilian punks End Of Pipe are yet to play outside South America. They sing in perfect English and their melodic, gruff punk sound would see them fit easily on to most punk tours. Getting to … Continue reading
