Woahnows opened up proceedings at a very busy Bodega, providing the crowd with their brand of indie-punk. Their songs are catchy, and they’re musically very tight. Always a load of fun to see live, and they certainly seemed to go down with the audience. Up second were Apologies, I Have None, who don’t make it […]
Contemporary punk is usually all about hyphens: ska-punk, folk-punk, gabba-punk.. Okay, the last one is probably made up.

Happy International Women’s Day! Welcome to Queens of the Neighbourhood, a brand new SYS feature. If there’s one thing that is obviously frustrating about alternative music, a scene that is meant to exude diversity and equality, it is the underrepresentation of women. It doesn’t take much to look through any alternative magazine or even looking at […]
On a good day playing a show anywhere across mainland Europe means you are met warmly by staff at the venue, fed well, given plenty of beer to drink, people show up, enjoy the show, they chat afterwards, buy merch, everyone generally feels validated at their choices in life.
