Chalk Hands – Brighton, England, United Kingdom Chalk Hands and ‘Fail, Grasp, Restore’ are soon to arrive this Friday.

Full NutritionRash Decision – Falmouth, England, United Kingdom And so, we are here. The video premiere of Rash Decision and ‘Beasts Of England’ is upon us after a road of setbacks, twists, turns and an incalculable amount of sitting down. Within the UK Punk scene, the band require little introduction. That…

Full NutritionSleemo – Norwich, England, United Kingdom It’s been some time, but Sleemo and the Degradation EP are soon to arrive. The Norwich three-piece and their amalgamative Punk-adjacent, Post-Hardcore conditioned and Grunge-fuzzed Alternative Rock are quite the abrasive, loud and complex unit.

But fast. That’s correct, as you have likely deduced from my unfunny quip, Hike The Peak and my introduction…
Full NutritionThis Is Hell – Long Island, New York, USA Ripcord Records – Scotland, United Kingdom Today, I am pleased to be a part of the premiere of This Is Hell and ‘Sieve-Fisted Find’ (Fugazi) via Ripcord Records.
