Sheffield’s Tramlines continues to go from strength to strength, and our Phil put in over 30 miles of steps with his trusty camera in hand to catch the 2025 edition in all its glory! Check out his review here:
Tramlines in Hillsborough Park, Sheffield is one of my favourite festivals of the year. No pretension, no nonsense, just a properly friendly crowd, fantastic management, and a ridiculously well-run setup. Five stages. 100+ acts. If you’ve never been - sort it out. Get it in your diary for next yea...

Meawhile, Ruth and William witnessed the The Ovines play a belter of a gig in London to launch their recently released and most excellent ‘Two Bucks And A Bottle Of Ketchup’ EP. We were very impressed by new band Angered Kenneth (https://www.instagram.com/angeredkenneth) in support:
East London's bright and busy brewery & live music venue played host to the eagerly anticipated official launch night of ‘Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup‘ from The Ovines on a humid Thursday. With merch giveaways, and a party atmosphere, fans both old and new flocked to celebrate this excellen...

Geek rock veterans Nerf Herder made a long-overdue return to London on the last night of July, with 4ft Fingers and Spoilers getting the party started in fine style! Check out Alex's review here:
It may have been a grey and rainy day, but any hint of negativity has been well and truly left at the door of the New Cross Inn this evening. Self-styled purveyors of ‘geek rock’, Nerf Herder have finally returned to these shores after 22 years, and although the quartet have only ever been minno...

The new EP from Clobber sees them taking their sound to the extreme, and we can’t get enough of it! Check out our review here:
In the words of frontman Charlie Longman, this EP is “the heaviest, nastiest thing that Clobber have ever written. We are a band that will always reflect the world around us, and it has never been nastier or heavier to live through.” The man does not lie - has he ever?

Combining raw punk energy with dub reggae grooves, the memorably-titled ‘Two Bucks And A Bottle Of Ketchup’ EP from The Ovines is a must-hear! Check out Ruth’s review here:
When The Ovines set out to record 'Two Bucks and a Bottle of Ketchup', they weren’t just making music, they were documenting the messy raw chaos of modern life. It's raw and emotional, both lyrically and musically, and the band's varied influences are very much apparent. Prepare to have your heart...

Massachusetts trio Moving Targets have been on something of a creative roll these past few years, and they’ve done themselves proud with new album ‘Red Eyes’! Check out Alex's review here:
Appropriately enough, considering that Moving Targets are a noisy trio from Massachusetts, much of this record brings to mind fellow noisy American trios Dinosaur Jr and Hüsker Dü. If you enjoy the aforementioned legends’ fondness for splicing melodies with seriously abrasive guitars, then trust...

Californian punk veterans Infamous Stiffs have just released a superb EP in ‘The Ornery Six’! Check out Sonny's review here:
Infamous Stiffs' latest EP is entitled 'The Ornery Six'. This cool new release from Golden Robot Records can't go wrong, especially if you enjoy your punk/hardcore with a side order of rock 'n' roll!

The seagulls of Brighton were in for a treat on the 2nd weekend in July, as they were to be served a generous helping of Punk Rock to go with their stolen chips! Check out new writer on the Punktuation team Sonny's great review of the excellent Bright N Sleazy festival - three days of great music for only £25:
The seagulls of Brighton were in for a treat last weekend, as they were to be served a generous helping of Punk Rock to go with their stolen chips. Daltons is my new favourite local venue, and with its beer garden backing literally onto Brighton Beach, it's a hard location to beat. We missed the Fri...

Alex recently made his grand return to Kingston for a belter of a gig, featuring On The Cinder, Open Palms and .punk - check out his review here:
The Buffalo trio seemingly couldn’t care less that the Fighting C***s is obviously not sold out - they’re far from home, and stoked that anyone has taken the time to show up on this grey and humid Thursday evening.
