Copenhagen’s very own singer and producer, Dinner (Anders Rhedin), certainly won the award for the most bizarre experience of the evening. Before we had even got to the venue a friend of mine reckoned we would be actually eating some free food, due to the show update of “Dinner @ 7.” The entirety of his set […]
Hailing from Charlotte NC, It Looks Sad. are an intriguing new take on indie-post-punk. With a strong summertime feel; this North Carolina four piece are following close in the footsteps of surfer blood and to a lesser extent; Foals, whilst adding an edgy almost melancholy angst to the mix. Kaiju was released digitally on Tiny Engines on 26th June. […]
Now in its third year, the wonderfully niche ArcTanGent Festival returned to Fernhill Farm, just outside of Bristol, to provide three days of the finest math-rock, post-rock, noise-rock and everything in between. Created by the people behind the award-winning 2000trees and having been short listed for Best New Festival and Best Small Festival it promised […]
In moments of boredom I often wonder what music would work really well in a cute indie film. You know the type. The ones that have an overly ambiguous conclusion in which you never know if the sad people get through their problems okay. The answer, to my ridiculous daydream scenario, is the band Princess […]
Flogging Molly kicked off their short UK run around their appearance at Boomtown with a show at Leeds University. Beans on Toast kicked things off with his “drunk folk” songs, immediately setting the tone for the evening as he had the entire crowd laughing, singing and occasionally making chicken noises.

Tiny Engines will release the band’s […]
I first saw Delta Sleep playing with Tera Melos at the eclectic Green Door Store in Brighton, and was instantly won over. Each member of the band showed tremendous skill, as often expected with math-rock bands (I don’t claim to be an expert at all; I am fond of the genre, but as an amateur […]
Touché Amoré earlier in the year announced a four-date tour of the UK to follow their appearance at Hevy Fest. Seemingly due to the exclusivity of their Hevy show, all of the shows announced were up past the Midlands, and we were lucky enough to catch them at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. New Moon kicked things […]
Hevy Fest has had a well-known rough few years, but the lineup announcements this year seemed to show a new energy in the festival. Taking place at Port Lympne in Kent, the festival showcases some of the biggest bands in the heavier genres. Kicking things off for us on Friday afternoon was CHON who brought […]
You may be asking: “what is a DIY Punk webzine doing, writing about pop-music?” My answer is: “fuck you”. You like Mac DeMarco? Good, you’ll be digging the newest adventure of Ralph Cola, National Zero. Well, maybe ‘adventure’ is a bit of a strong word. As delicious and sweet as opener “Doing Nothing” sounds, it […]
