Bright and Early – Louder Than Words

Every time I get pissed off with Punktastic and consider jacking it in, I seem to stumble across a band that totally rejuvenates my faith in music and reminds me why, after more than 10 years, I keep going. I still get a buzz off of new music

Man Overboard – Real Talk

If you’re expecting Man Overboard to sound like some kind of sub-par Blink 182 tribute, you’ll be sorely mistaken. While the band name isn’t exactly the best you’ll come across (but then let’s face it, most band names suck), the music really does the

Todos Caeran – S/T EP

Todos Caeran released this EP on cassette and as a free download, so, as I always say with free downloads, you should really stop reading this and just check it out for yourself. I’m a big fan of bands making their music available for free and I

It may be an old and clichéd adage but it’s forever a true one: never judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, never judge a band by its name or a record by its title. Hey! Alaska is a truly awful name. ‘The Colour,

Push The Ghost – Brains

I described Push The Ghost as ‘ones to watch’ last time I reviewed them and they’re proven me right. This record is really good – and I’m not just saying that as they’re from my hometown of GY. This is passionate punk rock played with heart

Animal Names – Let It Been

I’m not sure whether Animal Names are ‘Punktastic’ enough for the usual PT crowd, but there’s a really quirky feel that’s a throwback to the late 90s midwestern emo crowd that I really enjoyed about ‘Let It Been’. If you like The
