LIVE: Hit the Deck Festival 2015

Here at Punktastic there’s little we look forward to more than festival season; that annual jamboree of warm beer, ruined shoes and the Herculean task of attempting to wrestle a pop-up tent back into the tiny disc from which it came. It’s alway nice, however, to ease into

LIVE: Blitz Kids @ Boston Music Rooms, London

It’s difficult to believe that it’s been well over a year since Blitz Kids’ album ‘The Good Youth’ was released and in the time since its release they’ve travelled around the UK and Europe, as well as a recent stint in the US for SXSW. Now, as they

Live: Modern Baseball/Into It. Over It./Tiny Moving Parts @ The Dome, London

As far as co-headline tours go, Modern Baseball and Into It. Over It. together is pretty high up the list of top double shows for 2015. After a run in Europe, the tour finally reaches the UK, with the bands set to play multiple sold out shows, including

LIVE: Four Year Strong / Hit The Lights / Forever Came Calling / Light You Up @ Electric Ballroom, London

There’s a distinctive buzz enveloping Camden’s Electric Ballroom early on tonight, as the Pure Noise Records backdrop dominates the seductively lit stage.
