Buster Shuffle announce new record and share new single “New Badge For My Uniform”

December 3, 2021

London based ska/punk/rock band Buster Shuffle announced a brand new record today. “Go Steady” will be released March 18th, 2022 via the band’s own label Do Nothing Records. In addition the band also shared their new single/video “New Badge For My Uniform”. After the devastating effects of the pandemic and other troubles on tours in Great Britain and Europe, which directly affected British artists, Buster Shuffle decided to finance the album through crowd funding and use the power of the fans to spread the Shuffle-gospel far and wide. Bandleader Jet Baker comments: “It was a few hard years with the pandemic and therefor we thought that we ask our loyal fans, that grew with us for more than 10 years, to help us release the album. We have never done something like this, but we saw other bands working with their fans successfully to release music and we thought that our time has come now.” Jet turned at the peak of the lockdown to the friends of punk music, to release a bad-ass AA-side-7-inch-single “Unsung [Read More]

Gen And The Degenerates release brand new track “Wild Thing”

December 3, 2021

Today Marshall Records’ new signing sensation Gen and the Degenerates unveil their brand new single “Wild Thing”. Following the release of the previous single “Underwear” earlier in 2021 the band is set to take 2022 by storm. The song combines the band’s signature swagger with a catchy and immediate chorus. The band delivers a blend of Rock & Punk with a modern touch to create a lasting impact and promise to be one of the hottest acts of 2022. The video shot by Ben Roberts chronicles in Gen’s own words “the villain origin story of a chaotic bi-sexual Rockstar”. Regarding the track frontperson Gen Degenerate had the following to say: “On the 22nd of April 1966 The Troggs released their version of the song ‘Wild Thing’… On the 16th of November 1996 I was born and my mum repurposed it as a lullaby. She sang it to me each night to send me to sleep and I can’t help but think this might have something to do with how I turned out the way I [Read More]

Drug Church announce new album “Hygiene” and share two new songs

November 14, 2021

Everyone’s favorite punk rock agitators, Drug Church, have returned! Today the band has announced their highly anticipated fourth full-length, “Hygiene”, due out March 11th from Pure Noise Records. Drug Church is one of the most singular bands in modern guitar music and on “Hygiene” the band’s uncompromising nature has resulted in a bold leap forward. The Albany and Los Angeles-based five-piece—vocalist Patrick Kindlon, guitarists Nick Cogan and Cory Galusha, bassist Pat Wynne, and drummer Chris Villeneuve—have a unique ability to make distinctly outsider music that’s also welcoming and instantly satisfying, as evidenced by “Hygiene”‘s lead singles “Million Miles of Fun” and “Detective Lieutenant“. The two songs represent the essential tension between overt melody and visceral aggression that fuels Drug Church—the former pushing the band’s seamless blend of hardcore bite and massive, ’90s-indebted hooks to its most anthemic point, while the latter shows off a level of tunefulness never before seen in their catalog. Hygiene follows Drug Church’s 2018 LP, “Cheer”, and their 2021 EP, “Tawny”, both of which drew acclaim from fans and critics [Read More]

Weatherstate announce their new album “Never Better”

November 13, 2021

Weatherstate have announced that their second album ‘Never Better’ will be released 11 February via Rude Records. The follow-up to 2019’s ‘Born A Cynic’, ‘Never Better’ is a timely commentary, stemming from a place of monotony, helplessness, and apathy to the state of the world around us. Says vocalist and guitarist Harry Hoskins: “The record reaches out to different feelings that many of us have experienced over the last few years, from a state of mind that is pessimistic when faced with the question “will things ever improve?”” The Weymouth punks have released another single alongside the announcement. ‘Panic Attack’ summarises the feeling of anxiety you get after snapping yourself out of the bubble of living a life on autopilot. Guitarist Callan Milward says: “Living week by week with the exact same routine can grind you down even though it can also feel like the safest and/or easiest option at the time. Breaking the mould and expanding your horizons is so important to grow and reach your full potential, but it’s easier said than done. [Read More]

Weatherstate blast off in new single/video “Current Dose”

August 8, 2021

Weatherstate are back with a brand new single and music video. The Weymouth punk band has today shared “Current Dose,” an exploration of space, time, and riffs produced by Alan Day (Four Year Strong). “It was actually one of the first songs we wrote for the new record and the first we worked on with Alan Day,” the band shares. “It’s one of the grittiest songs we’ve written to date. We ended up tuning the guitars super low on one side and leaning into the riffs with Alan. “The bridge section is just noisy nonsense, we ended up stealing an idea from Nirvana’s Drain You and started spraying deodorant cans into microphones in the studio. Current Dose to me has loads of Foo’s energy. We jokingly referred to this song as “if QOTSA wrote Welcome To Paradise” haha.” On the music video they add: “The music video is our most ambitious to date and part of the arching story we’ve been telling for the best part of this year. It was a pleasure bringing so [Read More]

July 31, 2021

UK three-piece Gloo shared another new single “Swimming In Your Sea”, taken from their upcoming second record “How Not To Be Happy”, out August 27th via Hassle Records. Listen to the new song here. Speaking on the new song the band said “Gloo’s aim has always been to help people escape, whilst at the same time evolving with each release we put out. This song for us does exactly that, but this time proudly showcasing our other inspirations with a slightly more laid-back cocktail whilst still giving you enough distortion to smash your glass when the chorus comes. “The writing of ‘Swimming In Your Sea’ was one of them rare and insane times where the song was written from start to finish in about half an hour! I (Tom) was actually kind of drifting in and out of a film and fucking around on the guitar playing the main riff from ‘Serve the Servants’ by Nirvana when I changed it out of boredom and suddenly my ear perked up with this new modified version I [Read More]
