A Great Notion – A Little Scared
Being a little scared isn’t always a bad thing – it gets the adrenaline flowing, the heart racing and prepares the body to act fast. Good punk rock has always done the same for me and countless others. This is … Continue reading
Southlakes / Ceilings – Split EP
On first listen to this split EP by Ceilings and Southlakes, I had trouble distinguishing between the two artists. Admittedly it makes sense for them to release a split, considering their similarities, but neither band left a major impression on … 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

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
