We caught up with the smelliest band in the country, Reading’s skacore noise-makers Rail-27, ahead of their “Stinking Up and Down the Nation” mini-tour which starts this weekend, including a Seeing Your Scene show in Bristol at The Chelsea Inn on Saturday 22nd. What can people expect from your upcoming mini-tour? Eye watering odour, ear-bleeding […]
Contrail, a brand new alternative punk shoegaze-esque band from Poznan in Poland, have just released a promising demo. Their songs aren’t the most complex, but are catchy with a relaxed feel and highlight what they could achieve in the future. Intro track “I Just Want To” is short but sweet, consisting of only a guitar […]
The split released digitally and on cassette through Small Avenue Records features two London based-bands; Attila the Fun and Middle Distance.

Cheltenham’s finest and one of our favourite bands Austeros, fresh from their UK tour with Ghost on Tape where they played Seeing Your Scene shows in Bristol and Nottingham, have released their first ever music video for new song “We Seem Okay”. The track is available on a forthcoming 7″ from the fantastic Don’t Ask […]
The latest release from Storyteller, A Place By Your Hopes, gives them a good footing into the pop-punk scene. The band say they listen to a multitude of different genres and this has certainly helped them to understand how to create successful melodies throughout their EP. Opener to their EP, “Walls & Boundaries” begins by sounding eclectic with […]
