Live Review: The Skints (Birmingham, 18/04/15)

By the time The Skints took the stage on Saturday night, Birmingham’s Institute was absolutely packed full and almost overflowing. The far too small Library room quickly became a sweatbox – even before the band had started playing, with the bars becoming overcrowded and annoyingly understaffed.

Band Interview: Anti-Flag

EP Review: Marko Greyhound – Demo

Marko Greyhound is a folk-punk artist from Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia. Macedonia isn’t a country which is exactly well-renowned for its punk scene; in fact this amazing wikipedia page lists just one solitary artist.
