The Mob, Bristol 08.04.11

Click to enlarge

For the first time in nearly 30 years, one of the most intense bands from the first wave of @-punk took to the stage and blew 400 minds. The Mob are back. And this time round, they've got the kit to really do their sound justice. Mark even smiled! Sure, there were [...]

Prisoner Of War Benefit CD

JJ, the guitarist from Active Slaughter, is currently doing a 3-year stretch for his part in the campaign against Huntingdon Life Sciences. His friends in Trauma Unit have put together a benefit CD to get some cash together for him when he gets out. This is a 'Pay What You Can' release with 23 tracks [...]

Spanner In The Manor

This is a quick heads-up to let you know that my good friends Spanner are on the verge of releasing 'Crisis', their first full-length album, in April. It'll be available on both CD and 12 inches of shiny vinyl and is a collaborative effort between some of my favourite DIY labels - Active Distribution, Pumpkin [...]

Connecting The Dots

Here's a little bit of shameless self-promotion that fulfils both my need to do something during long nights of insomnia and my belief in mutual solidarity and support. Punks of the virtual world, I give you the Anarcho-Punk Pages.

It's really not much to look at and, for a code hacker rather than a coder, the [...]

CRASS - Stations Of The Crass CD (Remastered)

The same general observations I made about the previous remastered CD release apply equally here too, with one exception. This time round, the bonus tracks are fucking amazing!

They were recorded live in BBC studios for one of the world-renowned Peel Sessions in March 1979, where sadly-missed DJ and nation's favourite uncle John Peel would champion [...]

CRASS - The Feeding Of The Five Thousand CD (Remastered)

CRASS. The point where it really all began as far as I'm concerned. The band that gave punk the direction it needed to go if it was to really mean anything, and who called it a day when they felt they'd said everything they could as a collective unit. And, although they've been almost completely [...]
