Cheltenham’s finest DIY powerpop trio Asuteros have a look back at 2014. How has 2014 been for you? It’s been a good year! Considering it was our first full year as a band, we’ve been quite busy. We released our second EP on Round Dog Records, which is run by Fraser from Murderburgers. Played some […]
We look back at 2014 with Dirty Revolution’s wonderful vocalist Reb, discussing their last year ever as a band. How was 2014 for you? 2014 has been emotional; obviously the band ending and working towards a last release has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I feel like we are going out on a high and […]
We had a chat with Steve (vocals/guitar) from Birmingham’s melodic hardcore Laughing in the Face Of about the band’s 2014! This is ahead of our show with the band, as well as Guerrilla Monsoon, Mixtape Saints and The Real Quaid in Birmingham this Thursday! How was 2014 for you? It’s been pretty a good year for […]
We had a chat with Joe (accordion) from the amazing Will Tun & the Wasters about their 2014! How was 2014 for you? 2014 was an interesting one for Will Tun & the Wasters. We did our first DIY Tour of Europe, which involved trips to the hospital, avoiding Neo-Nazis in a forest and driving across […]
It’s been a big year for Birmingham’s Magpies and Vagabonds! They released their amazing EP Giver earlier in the year, and have just followed it up with new single “Start of a Century”.

Max asked if I would write a piece summarising Guerrilla Monsoon‘s 2014. If you know us personally or know anything about the band then you’ll appreciate the year has been productive and hectic in equal measure! The year nearly killed us (literally and metaphorically) and looking back I can’t believe it happened. For those of […]
It’s time for a brand new community discussion. It’s been a week and a half since our last show which was for Nottingham’s Emmanuel House (more on that later…); it was a huge success with 110 tins brought for our collection (seriously), and around £50 raised. Our next show is also a charity one, this […]
“Now I love the beat but I need to shout” – Random Hand I love ska punk music, and if anything without it I wouldn’t have ended up part of a DIY scene: the first show I ever put on was Faintest Idea and Captain Accident, and on Saturday I am putting on the mighty […]
Thanks to everyone for coming out to the homelessness show on Thursday! It was a great night. Big thanks to JT Soar for being the best venue around and Guerrilla Monsoon, Perkie, Magpies & Vagabonds and Mixtape Saints for playing amazing sets. Here’s everything we raised! Baked beans x20 Soup x19 Noodles x12 Tinned tomatoes […]
“Let’s start something bigger than us” – The Smith Street Band Hello, my friend Max here at Seeing Your Scene has suggested I do a weekly column – it will probably end up more than likely monthly, but we will see. For those who don’t know me (I mean why would you?), I’m primarily a […]
