There’s nothing better than patting yourself on the back!

The sales of Punktastic Un-Scene went up by 20% last week on the previous 7 days, so thanks to everyone for their support. We’ve almost shifted 500 copies now which is a great effort, especially as the CD has been in stores less than a month. Our

The Fleshies – The Sicilian

Now this was a pleasant surprise. I know that in another recent review I said that dirty rock and roll guitars and lo-fi production didn’t really do it for me, but The Fleshies have both these things and they certainly push my buttons. There’s touches of all

Hot Water Music have the beginnings of a new website up in aid of the forthcoming album, “The New What Next” released on September 21st.

Hailing from sunny San Diego, Underminded describe themselves as “Not the typical aggressive, melodic hardcore band”. Which is quite something, considering melodic hardcore bands have popped up with monotonous regularity over the last couple of years, and it’s easy to get the finished product as dull as
