Idlewild go Stateside

It’s already been a massive hit for some time now this side of the pond, but March 25 is the first chance our war-mongering (joke) friends over in the States will have to hear Scottish rock/pop/punk superstars’ fantastic latest release, “The Remote Part”. Being the all-round good eggs

A.F.I. – Sing The Sorrow

I can, without a doubt, say that this is one of the strangest and toughest reviews I’ve had to do. AFI are a band that have always surprised me, even after becoming pretty familiar with them even before considering this release. On the one hand, this is the new

Gash – Day Off For The Conscience

I like Gash. A lot of people don’t. That’s fair enough, but I think that the more of this fast melodic punk rock a la Lagwagon/NUFAN that comes out of the UK the better. This album was released a while ago, but seeing as they

Attention people who live in Derby

The funeral is no longer open

Open Hand are no longer supporting Funeral For A Friend on their UK tour, the honour now goes to Instruction and Tooth and Nail’s female rockers The Halo Friendlies.

Fletcher study Rocket Science

One of our fave UK pop-punk bands, Fletcher, are to head into the studio on April 15 to record their first full length cd for Deck Cheese, newly named ‘Rocket Science’. The cd is being recorded at Criterion Studios in London and will be produced by

PG hit the road
