Fat Wreck Chords; a label responsible for some of the most influential Skate Punk bands of our generation, and whose original roster includes legends such as Lagwagon, No Use For A Name and Face To Face, among many, many others. One name that immediately jumps to my mind though, is...
Elite Days – Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. Cardiff city melodies. Formed in 2011, Cardiff’s Elite Days have been steadily compiling their catalogue with hooks, catchy melodies and jagged bass-lines in the vein of genre veterans, as well as current stalwarts, whilst still strengthening and contributing to the UK scene.

Greetings MF-reading hombres! In case you don’t know (of course you don’t know) I’m Sam from this band called Yawning Dog, a noisy, dirty band, previously featured on Musically Fresh. Above is a pic of me in said band. You’re probably thinking, ‘Who or what the fuck are you?’, and I...
Montroze – Midsomer Norton/Bath, England, United Kingdom. It’s high time once more for some Bath flavoured Pop-Punk, with a dash of Midsomer Norton thrown in for good measure.

The Larimers – Denver, Colorado, USA Another one of our ‘group’ finds. These Denver boys are currently a three-piece that since their formation in 2013, have been working hard, evolving in sound, in members and in group dynamics. No band has ever missed the teething trouble, but in the long...
