TNSrecords – Manchester, England, United Kingdom TNSrecords Vol 4: Cheap Cans, Broken Vans and Basement Bar Bands is a release marking a considerable milestone. In the world of underground, independent and DIY record labels, every release is an achievement. However, to reach a hundred separate releases on a label that only really started as a
Full NutritionThe Expanse Of The Internet “May Have Missed Volume 1” is an attempt to counter the volume of requests I receive in the various Ear Nutrition inboxes as I type away. The venture of EN, when it boils down to the barebones of itself, is a spare-time hobby. I try to do what I can,
Full NutritionArms & Hearts – Manchester, England, United Kingdom It is safe to remark that Arms & Hearts and The Distance Between as a focussed title has been a long time coming. The Manchester-based artist and project, although often strumming-solo, is often joined by others. Joined by others in a room moving through gruff yet approachable mostly-acoustic Punk music

Full NutritionDavid Delinquent – Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom There is a lot to be said for solo-releases from Punk-vocalists. David Delinquent and You’re So Boring You Make Me Wanna Die enter into this fray. Truthfully, you never really know what a different set of inspirations or influences will yield in these cases. It can sometimes be
Full NutritionSober Dave – London, England, United Kingdom Today concerns the video premiere of Sober Dave and his new track ‘Seasons’. If you haven’t heard of the one-man machine of (definitely not) Acoustic Punk and everyday societal observation then by all means, follow these words along to – Here. ‘Seasons’ is the latest in a line
Full NutritionUnluckid x Krod Records Onward! Part 3: Unluckid – ‘Siren Song’ / Krod Records (The Five Years). If you haven’t the foggiest onto what this is, then you should probably read the interview with the Krod Records head-honcho, Jordan Calvi, which you can find – Here.
