Camden Purple Turtle
October 19th 2009
This new London gritty and powerful post-hardcore band is really becoming pretty damn good now, so make sure you check them out soon! Featuring former members of a shit ton of bands, I'm looking forward to hearing them record something, which vocalist Greg assured me was happening soon (after explaining the track was named after his favourite drink). Judging from this soaring song that they opened their set with, it's going to be awesome. Also, thanks for the Strike A Chord UK shout out mate! What a nice bloke and what a promising band.

APOLOGIES, I HAVE NONE 100 Club
Camden Purple Turtle
October 19th 2009
Having formed as a guitar and drums two-piece with guitar and drums and both Dan and Josh singing, London folk punks Apologies, I Have None have recently added a live bassist and drummer and this was their first 'full band' show. It added loads of energy to their gigs and made their sound far more powerful and exciting in my opinion. Anyway, whatever your view, fans of the likes of early Against Me! and This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb should check these guys out. Passionate and honest, it's good, shout-along music.
A,IHN head over to play The Fest in Gainesville, FL (USA) in just over a week and are set to play on Saturday October 31st at Flacos at 11.30pm. Check it out and sing loud!
This song is the opener from their self-released EP 'Two Sticks And Six Strings', which is out now. Order your copy from the band's online store. You can also stream the EP now at Punknews.org

ATTACK! VIPERS! Come Dungeons Deep Or Gallows Grim
Brixton Windmill
October 10th 2009
Another video from Lloyd's birthday gig, Attack! Vipers! were as savage and energetic as ever and it seemed apt that they were the only band of the night to play in the dark. Joe's raw and passionate vocals, Ben's intense guitar work and Mark and Hussey's pummeling rhythm make them one of the most exciting UK hardcore bands. Sorry if this one's a bit too dark for you. Imagine them as night terrors emerging from the darkness and attacking you with their musical assault. Scary.
After Joe had explained how it was about the '80s miners' strikes and says the name of the song, an aggressive heckler shouts "fuck off you slags!", which you can hear at the start. Maybe it was a half-cut Thatcher?
This track is from their 8-track split CD (4 songs from each band) with Austria's Astpai, out now on We Heart Records.

DOWN AND OUTS Chaos Days
Brixton Windmill
October 10th 2009
This Liverpool four-piece impressively mix pop punk and street punk and will appeal to fans of The Bouncing Souls, Green Day and/or Leatherface. Anyway, they're good and they've got two albums and a handful of 7"s under their belts so check them out and catch them live. This was the closer from their set for Lloyd's 40th birthday bash and got people raising fists and voices. Good times.
This song is taken from the band's 2004 debut album 'Boys From The Blackstuff', available now (along with the rest of their stuff) from Dead And Gone Records.

BROTHERS Maths Is My Middle Name
Dorking Lincoln Arms (UK Pre-Fest all-dayer)
October 3rd 2009
For those that don't know, Brothers are another awesome punk band from the seemingly endless pool of great bands from Exeter at the moment. If you're into None More Black and Discount then this raw melodic punk trio is sure to hit the spot. Heading over to rock Fest 8 in Gainesville, FL at the end of the month, Rez, Anna and Ben are sure to blow away the American crowds.
This track is from the upcoming four-way split 7" 'Brits Abroad', featuring a track each from The Arteries, OK Pilot, Brothers and Bangers, out in late October on Specialist Subject Records.

YOU ME AND THE ATOM BOMB Fake
Dorking Lincoln Arms (UK Pre-Fest all-dayer)
October 3rd 2009
This was one of the best shows I've ever been to and it truly went off. Pizza slices, hugs and high fives and a true Fest atmosphere. I filmed a few bands but sadly once the lights went out (and the naked crowd surfing and drunken carnage really took hold!) it's far too dark to make out any of the bands. Maybe it's for the best! Only joking. But I got a couple of videos before then, including this one of Portsmouth's YMATAB. It feels like I haven't seen the Atom Bomb in a lifetime, it's good to see Tim, Hud and Dan back with new tracks. Bring on the new album and roll on Fest!
This song is from their upcoming second album.

OK PILOT Words Of Encouragement
Brixton Windmill
September 29th 2009
OK Pilot are Exeter's finest hardcore punks and any fans of The Bronx and Young Livers will love them. About to head over to the US to tour with the latter, ending up playing at Fest again (here's hoping for another warehouse performance!), OK Pilot are just getting better and better.
Here's some proof - this is a new song. According to Chris this was the first time they've played it live and he said it was technically still untitled but went for 'Words Of Encouragement'. It certainly encourages you to go off.
