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 […]
With 2000 Trees festival looming ever closer, aside from stocking up on sun cream and saving up our money for as many Pieminister’s as feasibly possible, we’ve been indulging our eardrums in some of the bands we’re really excited to hear. If you haven’t got a ticket yet then make sure you do. 2000 Trees […]
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. I arrived in the midst of the first set of Sulky Boy. The instrumental was pretty solid indie-grunge, nothing entirely new (at one point someone in […]
Fresh from a successful weekend of opening for Koji, Bob Nanna (The City On Film, Braid) and Algernon Doll, Leeds native Sarah Carey is carrying on the momentum she has built up recently through touring by releasing a brand new EP digitally through WOLF TOWN DIY entitled In Twenty Years, We Won’t Be Sad – it’s […]
Oh hey March! I didn’t see you there. In a week where the line up for Reading and Leeds being male-dominated is in the news, Twitter has become obsessed with a dress doubled as an optical illusion. In all seriousness though, the R&L line up is unfortunate, and I’ve seen a number of alternative posters […]

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the end of Magpies & Vagabonds. As of now, we join the countless other bands on “indefinite hiatus”, choosing to focus on other personal and […]
All bands start somewhere small, but when you effectively see the beginning and then the rise, it makes it all the more poignant. I saw Milk Teeth first playing a small venue in Stroud, the Stroud Valley Arts space, and have enjoyed their climb from 2013’s Smiling Politely, the cassette single release of Vitamins, to finally […]
A sublime release of melodic punk by Cheltenham’s I, The Lion; the Run EP is ready to be met with success. Having toured aggressively since forming in 2010, I, The Lion have shared stages with the likes of Gallows and DZ Deathrays. Their hard work is finally paying off – the Run EP will solidify […]
What I love about the British punk scene is its depth in variety. When I scour the internet (more often than not: Bandcamp) for hidden gems I almost always find myself pleasantly surprised. Not because of the amount of thriving bands and artists touring up and down the country or the amount of EPs and […]
