Boston Manor are a band from Blackpool that broadly straddle the pop punk and emo genres. They are currently signed to Failure by Design Records, previously having released an EP and split with Throwing Stuff. They have continued to build on the success of Here/Now with a new six track release titled Driftwood due for release mid-October. […]

So the production is defiantly lo-fi, and the reverb on the vocals sounds like they stuck the microphone down the toilet for laughs. But that dirty, home-recorded, four-tracky sound can be charming when done with intent. And on the whole […]
Modern Baseball are in the UK for their first headline tour supported by Spraynard and Losing Sleep. We had a chat with bassist Ian about the band’s success, Riot Fest and their local scene in Philadelphia. How’s the tour been so far? This tour’s been awesome.

Cornwall punks Crows An Wra have released their first full length record Kalopsia. The band describes themselves as ‘Prog-Punk’, and from that genre combination alone, you can already begin to hear what the album sounds like.
