The Rumjacks continue with more brilliance as they share the second single  “Bloodsoaked in Chorus,” taken from their forthcoming EP ‘Brass For Gold’ EP, due 11th February. While ‘Hestia’ (read our review here) had the band conquering a global pandemic in order to record, ‘Brass for Gold’ saw the boys united in person for the first time. Producing a sound that …

Few things bring PDX punks together like a good cause and a benefit show. Long known for its progressive traditions, the city of Portland, and the bands that call it home seem to know no end when it comes to donating their time.

When I did arrive, I was met with a sea of Leveller’s shirts, ranging from the early nineties right through to the present day, …

The smaller than expected audience turns this into the intimate gig that we didn’t know we needed. Both Sizzy Rocket and July Jones have to …

As the lights dim for a sold out first night of the tour for Punk Rock Factory, the atmosphere in the room rises, filling the o2 Academy’s 3rd room from floor to ceiling. The nervous welsh four piece walk on stage in front a personalized LED light of their logo ready to give it their …
