No Lights – San Francisco, California, USA. The words – No Lights – Stay Awake/June Bug recently appeared in my cavernous inbox. The four-piece hail from San Francisco, Calfornia and through a concoction of Post-Punk, Alternative Rock, Post-Hardcore and emotive gloom, might just be the band you are looking for. The band’s 2018 debut Cassette even extends this
Freedumb – Østfold, Norway. ’90s melodic Punk-Rock and Skate Punk are the itch that simply won’t go away. Freedumb – Post-Modern Dark Age are a part of that itch. It’s an itch that despite repeated scratching only seems to bolden in its determination to always be there and let’s be honest now, the Punk scene of the
Stages In Faith – London/Essex, England, United Kingdom. Through researching new material for the ever-growing, labour-intensive but ever-so worth it Ear Nutrition Spotify playlists (Here) and in conversation with one Charlie Jones-West from UK Hardcore need-to-knows SickOnes, I stumbled a cross a band that have excellently achieved something which I will hazard saying that very
Maybe Not – Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Ah European Skate Punk, a scene that continues to populate the greater global scene with some of the best new bands atop a legacy of contributions down-right impossible to ignore. Maybe Not hail from Amsterdam and are very much another to add to the ever-growing list of bands that
Same As You – Montreal, Québec, Canada. Montreal has an excellent Punk-Rock output and as does its home province of Québec, a land itself perpetually producing an excellent Punk music crop as a general rule.

Hillview – Los Angles, California, USA. Long and complicated story short, Hillview have finally released their highly anticipated debut full-length, The Law Of Averages, via the celebrated house-hold Punk-Rock label, Morning Wood Records. A label true to it’s ideals and branding itself as the – ‘Home Of 90’s Punk-Rock Since 2003‘. You can find an older piece
Coercion – Santa Cruz, California, USA. Santa Cruz is home to Coercion, a band with a long, drawn out, sporadic and varying history. This history became recent history when a four-piece incarnation of what is now Coercion (Coercion96) released the stellar “modern rock” EP, Exit Wounds, itself worth your time. Coercion however have built on that very
Hoi-Poi Farplane Wind -Thessaloniki, Greece. Photo credit: Χάρης Μπούρος. The development of Post-Hardcore was an event in the Punk-Rock history book that would effect the genre’s history in ways that would only catapult it off to the varied and exceptional set of sounds it now calls it’s own. The initial ground-work laid down by Fugazi, Rites
Diploma – Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The Melbourne music scene has always had a healthy Punk contingent, a prevailing Skate Punk sound that was/is/will be used as a foundation to build on and that is exactly where you will find Diploma. It’s members are all scene veterans and with their very typical in-scene personnel changes, the band’s
BarCreeps – London, England, United Kingdom. London is a city synonymous with Punk-Rock music and with it’s music scene birthing a near-constant litter of bands and releases BarCreeps stand well in-amongst it all. The band are now on their third release and debut full-length ahead of previous releases on both Dirty Sushi Records for their
