’50 Years Of Punk’: Punk was never about the music, it is a way of life…

Honey Revenge – ‘Loving And Losing’

Honey Revenge have grown up, dusted themselves off in the wake of their debut and decided to make a sophomore album that’s (nearly) entirely dance bangers. What more can you ask for from our favourite pop-rock duo? They’re still walking the line between guilty pleasure therapy delivered via clubbing

The Meffs – ‘Business’

If there was such a thing as a 2026 Punk Championship, The Meffs would be contenders for the heavyweight title… or gold medal, or trophy in the shape of John Lydon. It’s only been four years since they crashed onto the scene, and the diminutive duo are only growing

LIVE: All Points East Presents Outbreak 2026

Weeks of drought might have turned London’s Victoria Park into Arrakis, but like the Spice, the heaviness must flow. Outbreak’s takeover of All Points East brings new acts, old favourites returning, and the headlining set that proves Deftones have transcended from a band to a full-on experience.  Words: Kate

Imagine the taste of a Slush Puppy when you’re a kid whose mum doesn’t let them have sugar, or the sensation of a teenager who’s just worked out that they can just about have that house party and clean up before their family get home. A Saturday spent at

Electric Callboy – ‘Tanzneid’

If you’ve got a friend who’s still on the fence about whether Electric Callboy are genius or trash, all you need to do is silently hand them a copy of ‘Tanzneid’ and they’ll be converted. Well, okay: if they haven’t already been convinced by a live show, then this

Cancer Bats – ‘Give Me Dirt’

What do you do after seven albums as Canada’s hardest band? Take a break of course, and after two decades of head-banging, Cancer Bats surely deserved their time off. ‘Give Me Dirt’, their latest album, is supposedly inspired by nature and travel, but that’s like saying ‘Blood Meridian’ is
