Manchester’s Johnny Jet are premiering their first music video exclusively through Seeing Your Scene! On the song, the band says: Well this is our first single but the band’s been together for years, we’ve never really stuck to a genre or anything, but we’re all really into indie bangers and pop-punk, and recently we decided that […]

Album Review: Ralph Cola – National Zero
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 […]

Live Review: BAYY, Abattoir Blues, Our Girl & Sulky Boy (Bleach, Brighton, March 16th 2015.)
On Monday 16th March, sandwiched between Mother’s day and Saint Patrick’s Day, Echochamp held a show at Bleach, a relatively new venue in Brighton, promising more free bi-monthly shows.

Album Review: Airs and Nevermind Me Split
Music is everywhere. Think about what you’ve been exposed to in just the last 24 hours: TV adverts, background songs on your favourite shows and films, even casually on the radio in the car. When we are permanently exposed to sound it becomes difficult to not just differentiate between it all, but to actually listen. […]

Album Review: Happy Diving – Big World
Nowadays, I almost immediately trust anything associated with the label Art is Hard Records. I’ve picked up a few items here and there from them, and they’ve put on some pretty great shows in Brighton, where I live. My purchase of Happy Diving’s Big World has yet to tarnish that blissful perspective. The album is […]
They said Don’t Ask, we did anyway: A look into Don’t Ask Records
They said “Don’t Ask”, however after Cheltenham based DIY label Don’t Ask Records kept throwing consistently great releases at us we decided to ask anyway. Fortunately Don’t Ask Records co-founder and Austeros frontman Jeremy decided to rebel against their name and answer our questions. “When we were trying to think of names, I asked our […]
