Noise Against Nazis

In a display of mutual solidarity with my friends in Bristol Antifa, I've set up a small (but perfectly formed) distro – Ye Olde Punke Shoppe. I hope to raise a few quid for them while spreading that groovy anti-fascist musical vibe – 100% of all money made from this little venture (after costs) is [...]

The Dead Shall Walk The Earth

Sometime in the new year, The Amebix will be playing in my living room. Not the real live people that make up the band, obviously, but the DVD that the band are releasing in collaboration with Belfast Records. There's still just about enough time left to pre-order one. This has the potential to be one [...]

Open House

If anyone's interested, Punk Torrents is currently open for registration (although probably not for long). So hurry up and sign up if you want the chance to grab and share some fine rare punk and punk-related audio, video and literature. There's also general info, discussions, intelligent debate and occasional stupidity to entertain you while you're [...]

Question Time

I've got the chance to ask some questions of the original drummer of Anarcrust. I'm more than happy to ask stuff on your behalf, so if there's anything in particular that you want to know then let me know.

Hardcore Heaven

I've just added a new link in the sidebar, but I reckon the site's worthy of a plug to get your attention.

So, for those who haven't yet stumbled upon this treasure trove of punk delight, head on over to Kill From The Heart and immerse yourself in probably the most comprehensive repository of global 80's [...]

Surprise!

Well, not exactly. But I'm not dead, just in case anyone was wondering.

I've been pretty busy IRL, and haven't had an ounce of spare time for what seems like aeons but is actually only a few weeks. Much of that time has included knocking up a website for some good friends of mine. And trust [...]

The Kids Are Alright

Randy (of Insurgence and Rebel Time) has recently been spreading the word about a bunch of young upstarts collectively known as The Class War Kids. Having checked out the tracks that Randy's posted on one of his blogs, I know why he's so keen. They're very, very good.

In an email to Randy I [...]

Beardies And Baldies Against Bombs

A couple of mates of mine, Beardy Rob (aka Robert) and Ratty (aka Richard) are doing a great (and knackering just to think about) thing – they're cycling from Land's End to John O' Groats (about 1000 miles) to raise money for the Mines Advisory Group. For those who don't know, MAG works to clear [...]

Averting Tragedy

Moshpit Tragedy, purveyors of the mighty Amebix and other worthy noise merchants, are having a few problems with their old web URL. So they've bought a new one – http://moshpittragedy.com – which will be their permanent home from now on. And they're asking their friends to spread the word. So there ya go.

They're working on [...]

Rebel Yell

It's nice to know that my efforts here have a positive knock-on effect elsewhere – just check out this email I received yesterday:

Hey, Randy from Insurgence Records here, hope this finds you doing well. Just wanted to say 'Thanks!' for the kind words you've written about Insurgence on the blog. It's very much appreciated…honestly, blurbs [...]
