LIVE: Yonaka @ Signature Brew, Haggerston

We went to a gig. A real life actual live performance. Not one where you have to click a link in your inbox and make sure your laptop has enough charge left in it, one where you turn up to an actual venue, go inside it and stand

LIVE: Holding Absence @ Portland House, Cardiff

It starts with a crackle. The kind you hear when you first gently place the needle down on a record, waiting for the music to kick in. Shots of Cardiff’s Portland House come into view, and already the scene is perfectly set for what has always felt

LIVE: Download Festival Pilot 2021 – Sunday

It’s been a long, long time since Punktastic have been able to cover live music as we’ve always known it, and to be able to dive back in at the one and only Download Festival is more than we could ever have hoped for. The crowd was smaller, as

It’s 1am in the UK, but for those who can resist the pull of slumber, time is irrelevant when it comes to kicking off a new era of Twenty One Pilots. Today has been ‘Scaled and Icy’ release day, and given we’ve been waiting weeks to celebrate
