Babe Haven’s “Nuisance” Is Out Now — And They’re Taking It to Europe

October 16, 2026

If you haven’t heard Babe Haven yet, fix that today. The Boone, NC queer punk wrecking crew just dropped “Nuisance” via Hassle Records, and it’s the kind of record that reminds you what punk is actually for. The Boone, NC queer punk outfit just re-released their sophomore album “Nuisance” via Hassle Records, and it’s a beast — nu-metal, thrash, and punk smashed together into something raw, furious, and completely their own. Lillie Della Penna and Naomi Poesel write anthems of empowerment and resistance, and their mission says it all: uplifting femme, queer, and BIPOC voices, turning every room into a space of radical inclusion and catharsis. That’s what punk is supposed to do. Watch the video here: They’ve already been setting stages on fire over here, sharing bills with Mannequin Pussy, Nova Twins, Soft Play, Pinkshift, and Die Spitz, and tearing up Punk Rock Bowling. Now Europe gets its turn — 29 dates starting tonight: October 16 — Beta — Copenhagen, Denmark October 17 — Neue Zukunft — Berlin, Germany October 18 — Voodoo — [Read More]

The Number Twelve Looks Like You Are Back With Their First Album in Seven Years

October 16, 2026

Some bands follow trends. The Number Twelve Looks Like You never has  and twenty-plus years in, they aren’t about to start. “Howls From The Holographic Heart” is out now via Rude Records and Equal Vision Records, their first full-length since 2019’s Wild Gods, and it’s exactly what you’d hope for from this band: chaotic, honest, and completely unwilling to be anything but itself. As frontman Jesse Korman puts it, “This is a very honest album. We don’t want to live up to what everyone just expects of us, and at this point in our career, we have nothing to lose.” That’s the kind of freedom you can hear in every track. The new single “Trust Chaos” opens the record, and the band says it’s about making peace with the roads you didn’t take and every wrong turn and every bit of chaos shaping who you become. There’s something really beautiful in that, and we feel it deeply. The album runs the gamut from the chaotic screamo of “Trust Chaos” to the salsa death metal of [Read More]

Counterpunch Return With Blistering New Single “Dig” — Out Today

October 16, 2026

  We’ve always had a soft spot for the bands that never stopped believing in what a fast song played with heart can do, and Chicago’s Counterpunch are one of those bands. “Dig” is out today — their first new music since 2022’s Rewire.  The band shares, “‘Dig’ is a blistering, fast-paced song that hits like a raw emotional outburst. Written as an emotional release in response to the troubling things we continue to ignore and/or the activities our country continues to participate in, both at home and around the globe.” The track hits like an emotional exhale more than twenty years in the making. This is Counterpunch doing what they’ve always done, only with even more fire behind it. The track features Sean Sellers (Good Riddance, Pulley) behind the kit, and the band self-produced it, tracking between Denver and Santa Ana. Four full-lengths, two EPs, and more than 18 countries later, they’re still pushing forward on their own terms — new music, new attitude, and plenty left to say. We love to see it. [Read More]

Impressions of the Tattoo Days Rosenheim 2026

October 14, 2026

For the fourth time, the small Bavarian town of Rosenheim hosted the Tattoo Days at the Auerbräu Festhalle/Loretowiese, where just a few weeks ago they celebrated the annual Herbstfest (which is like a very small Oktoberfest, but more quiet and much more affordable). Again, the organizers, Anne and Quan from the Hellgallery Tattoo Studios, managed to put together quite a program for two days. We were able to join the event on Saturday. Aside from getting the chance to watch some amazing tattoo artists doing their work, there were several contests for different tattoo categories, the first two rounds of the Miss Tattoo contest, a comedian, and a mentalist. We also caught glimpses of some “tattoo nightmares”. The wonderful Dirk Thunig led through both days, and he did a pretty amazing job. The tattoo studios were from all over the place, just to name a few: Hellpoint Tattoo, Sleeping Society Ink, Soulink Tattoo, Schattenwerk Tattoo, Fast Life Ink, Chabos Tattoo, Jetitats, Bloodline Tattoo and many more. Check HERE for more information on all the amazing [Read More]

This fall clearly has some goodies in stock for us. We started with Beartooth in late September, then The Amity Affliction and last week The Devil Wears Prada came back to our beautiful city of Munich. Accompanied by Oversize, 156/Silence and Novelists they once again managed to turn the Werk into a gigantic melting pot.
