Album Review: TVOD – Party Time; loud, jagged and full of heart
Brooklyn’s post-punk firebrands TVOD (Television Overdose) explode onto the scene with Party Time, a debut album that’s loud, jagged, and unexpectedly full of heart. It’s a record built for sweaty clubs and emotional release — an intoxicating mix of snarling guitars, warped synths, and chant-along choruses that channel chaos into catharsis. It’s punk for misfits who …

The Brudenell Social Club once again proved why it’s one of the UK’s finest live venues, hosting a sold-out, sweaty Sunday night with Newcastle’s mighty Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (Pigs x7).

It hits like a jolt to the system—blasting guitar riffs, synth freakouts, and a breakdown that practically begs for a sweaty, full-throated singalong. The track balances raw punk energy with a …
Album Review: The Nightingales – The Awful Truth; Post-punk chaos meets twisted pop brilliance.
The Nightingales return with The Awful Truth, their first album since 2022’s The Last Laugh, proving once again that Robert Lloyd and company remain as sharp, unpredictable, and essential as ever. Released on Fire Records, the album is a tangled, exhilarating mix of post-punk urgency, surrealist storytelling, and skewed pop sensibilities—an acerbic, sideways glance at …

Album Review: KEG – Fun’s Over; Chaotic, unpredictable, and ultimately rewarding
It’s hard to pin KEG down. A seven-piece with the chaotic energy of a band half their size but twice as frantic, they operate somewhere between post-punk, jazz, indie, and outright absurdity. Their long-awaited debut album, Fun’s Over, only solidifies their reputation as one of the most restlessly inventive bands in the UK right now. …
Track: Young Knives continue to confound expectations with brilliant new single, “Cause & Effect”
We’ve been fans of Young Knives since forever it seems, having spent time at the very same aviary and carillon in the park that made Loughborough Suicide speak to us (well, me) so vividly from the second it landed as part of their brilliant 2006 album Voices of Animals and Men. Their new single, Cause …
