Direct Effect – Sunburn
Direct Effect combine all the best aspects of old school and new school hardcore punk. Do you like it wild and loose, with songs that sound like the only thing holding them together is the intense fury of the band … Continue reading

The Gathering of the 500 (Conflict, Subhumans + more) – The Underworld, Camden – December 7, 2013
Camden Underworld is one of my favourite venues. It’s dark, not too big, it has that ‘sticky floor’ feeling and bogs that stink like fuck – perfect for a punk all-dayer. The doors open an hour late – so far, … Continue reading
