Hightower – Paris, France. Cover Photo credit goes to Eric Pires. Now, you may remember our work on French Melodic Hardcore/Post-Hardcore troupe, Above The North, from earlier in the year. If you don’t and that sounds appealing, then you can find it and indeed the band – Here. The reason I bring up...
Not Tonight and The Headaches – Grimsby, England, United Kingdom. Not Tonight and The Headaches are a Grimsby based band and are on a mission to resurrect nineties Pop-Punk, an era that brought us NOFX, The Offspring, Green Day and many more. Back to the present now however and in...
Whether it’s Black Flag or Black Sabbath you hear when listening to Obliterations, you most definitely choke on your JD and Coke when you realise that Lemmy (see ‘Shame’ below) is on vocals. Obviously Lemmy isn’t on vocals (instead we get a glorious modern Punk rattle) but the anti-capitalist grainy...
Eight Days – London, England, United Kingdom. Long story short, I went to a gig in Bath, England a while ago. Each band put on stellar performance and despite the very slap-dash pub-gig set up, it was one of those little shows that really carried the essence of Punk-Rock and...

I’m lucky enough to have a group of friends and “colleagues” that are passionate about the music they love, going to festivals and/or simply finding new sounds...

Whether it’s through a full throttle change-up, or simply via the subtle changes that often becomes the quality that ultimately sets them apart. That was a...
