Gallows bummed by Kerrang

Watford band Gallows have recently been named in Kerrang magazine as having a song worthy of the top 250 Rock songs of all time. Click below to see a scan of the comments made, and to see the 2 bands they’re wedged between…

Echo Screen – Euphoria

There’s no doubt Echo Screen have plenty of potential, it’s just a shame ‘Euphoria’ doesn’t quite consistently hit all the right notes. When the band are going off on songs like ‘Rushmore’ – all three-part harmonies and bouncy Race The Sun-esque guitars –

The Dirty Burds – S/T

I know we’re all adults, but Dirty Burds vocalist Jiggy can’t half swear. Potty-mouthed, her band’s punk rock sound may well come straight out of the early 80s, but as limited as it sounds it doesn’t come off too badly. The basic ‘Too Short’ and ‘Sick Bitch’ sound not

Day of Rising – Promo

Once in a while a band comes out of nowhere and just re-ignites all of my enthusiasm for great music. We get a lot of very poor demos here at Punktastic – a lot of bands who shouldn’t be a band, a lot of records that sound crap. But

New Chariots record

Submitted: “The now defunct Watford mob CHARIOTS are to release their final ever EP, ‘The Inner Life’ via Holy Roar Records next spring. This is their final ever recordings, finally seeing the light of day. Better produced, more confident, heavier, more memorable and just 20 times better than the

Orko – Creating Short Fiction

Sometimes I am wrong. There, I’ve admitted it. Not very often mind (there goes my modesty), but there are occasions when I review a band only for them to pop back a year or so later and make me look like a bit of an idiot. ‘Creating Short Fiction’

Misery Signals – Mirrors

Now this is a brutal record. For me, Misery Signals have always been one of those bands bubbling away under the surface of the metalcore scene, overshadowed by a number of other bands who seem to have struck it lucky at the right time. Fall

Racin For Pinks – More Songs About Corpses

I don’t really have too much to say about this record. It’s one of those CDs you can put on and in the blink of an eye it’s over – not leaving any kind of impact at all. The best Cds are the ones that leave you having an
