Divorce + Queer’d Science
Went to see Divorce at a gig about a week or so ago. Sham 69 was playing another gig in the same city elsewhere but I knew where my loyalties lie LOL. Anyway, I arrived so late I missed a good portion of the show but came just in time to see Manchester based trio...
Aggi Doom / Palms, Leeds, Wharf Chambers, 30th August 2012
The best part about going to gigs when touring bands are involved is checking out new bands and new music. The best thing about going to gigs at Wharf Chambers is that you will always find see someone you know there, or if you don’t, make friends with someone new. There is nothing else like...
Etai Keshiki

The Afternoon Gentlemen
As the week progresses, I feel the need to listen to harsher stuff. So I’m going to take this opportunity to abuse your ears with something from The Afternoon Gentlemen. Originally started 5 years ago with the intention of forming a non-serious grindcore band, this Leeds based gentlemen have gone on to release a string...
Bears Killing Bears
Keeping you on your toes today is Bears Killing Bears, another ace Leeds-based band that proves that this city has still got a lot to offer. I just thought I’d spice your morning up abit with their brand of thrashy punk goodness. Big big riffage, growling basslines, chaotic and loud as fuck just like I...
Endless Rope

Jamie Reid @ Fred 3 Temple Works Leeds
When you think of the Sex Pistols and that era of punk and its can’t give a fuck about nothing attitude, it’s impossible not to identify it with the imagery that came with it: the safety pins, the ripped shirts, a shredded and pinned Union Jack, the Swastika eyes. Shock, hype and controversy formed the...

HEROIN DIET
The pleasure of finding and listening to such ungodly sounds at this holy hour, its so fucking satisfying. Heroin Diet are a punk band from Manchester, fast 2 minute blasts with reverb vocals, very much in the vein as the recent new wave of punk upstarts like those Danish brats, Iceage. Heroin Diet are somewhat...
Finally Punk – Casual Goths LP
What the fuck happened to Finally Punk? Why is M’Lady Records referring to them in the past tense and saying this LP version of 2009′s Casual Goths release “stands in tribute to their amazingness?” Can somebody PLEASE tell me what the fuck is going on coz I REALLY like this band!! Raw, DIY, dont-give-a-fuck, recorded-in-the-living-room...
HOLY – The Wrong Side
Holy is a FUCKING AWESOME shouty screamy hardcore punk from Milano, Italy. Lashings, of tough old-school styles meets Level Plane records screamo vocals. Short, fast, loud – 8 furious songs recorded pretty much over the course of a few days in a hot rehearsal studio in Italy. Their self titled ep is coming out January...
The Coathangers
New favorite band OF THE FUCKING YEAR. The Coathangers (not to be confused with the Raincoats, although that would be quite funny) are a 4 piece all girl punk band from Atlanta and before I can even say check them out before Pitchfork turns them into disposable hipster hype, Big P got there before me....
