So this song isn't going to be called something as ridiculous as this (I hope) but this is the working title that vocalist/guitarist Tim said on stage. The Portsmouth trio are set to return with their long-awaited second album, the follow-up to 2006's 'Shake Up'. It's good to hear them back and, with some meaty riffs and raw anthems like this, I'm looking forward to hear what Tim, Hud and Dan offer up.
You can still buy their debut album 'Shake Up' from Household Name.

OFFSHORE RADIO Stalemate Days
Leeds Brudenell Social Club
December 17th 2009
So this video was recorded last December but it's a new song so it's all good right? There's plenty more shows coming up in April so there will be way more frequent updates. Sorry for being slack again. Hey, it's warming up outside and the good times are rolling! Anyway, this track from the mighty Leeds/Sunderland trio is another raucous dual-vocalled punk sing-along. Vocalist/bassist Dan told me,
"It's about the tedium of working weeks. It's actually the only song we have that's unreleased at the moment, although we have recorded it."
Look out for it on an upcoming release but for now get the new Offshore Radio/Down And Outs split from Yo-Yo Records.

WEGROWBEARDS Miners Strike
London Camden Purple Turtle
February 18th 2010
Whether you enjoy passionate gruff folk punk with political lyrics, damn catchy guitar lines or hand shadow ducks (thanks Jon Doses!) then this video has something for you! This is probably my favourite song to date from the new Dorking three-piece and if that hook doesn't get stuck in your head you should check your pulse because you might well be a corpse. Plus, as they say on their MySpace page, "chicks dig beards right?" so lap this video up ladies.
This is another song from the trio's split with the acoustic folk punk man cynics (aka Giles), with three songs from cynics and four from WEGROWBEARDS. It's out now through Boofrod or you can get the split CD from the bands.

BREAK THE HABIT Risk Averse
London Stoke Newington Ryan's Bar
February 11th 2010
The Brighton four-piece played with all the passion and energy as they usually do and with several new songs in their set, all of which sounded anthemic and fun, they're getting better all the time. If you're a fan of Latterman and '90s emo then you need to check these guys out. Vocalist/bassist Jay jokes about the song title (calling it a range of other board games, including Monopoly and Kerplunk) before they burst into this energetic tune. Sharing mics for powerful vocal deliveries from all members, they were having a great time (despite Jay knocking over Luke's drink in this video!).
This song is from BTH's forthcoming split with Cutting Class, out soon on One, Two, Fuck You. You can also download the songs from the band's MySpace.

WEGROWBEARDS The Game
London Stoke Newington Ryan's Bar
February 11th 2010
Hailing from Dorking, this new face hair lovin' three-piece consists of members of Killing Pablo, QC, Dinkle and Serf Combat. With a raucous folk punk sound and intelligent social/political lyrics, they're passionate and fun. This song is about the long history of war and invasion in Afghanistan (looking back to 1841 forwards), with the closing line of "because there's no lessons learnt, but the game still goes on." Plus, they have Fun Alf (Jedward's Uncle?) on drums/vocals and on their t-shirts. Nice.
This song is from the band's split with the acoustic folk punk known as cynics (aka the delightful Giles), with three songs from cynics and four from WEGROWBEARDS. It's out now through Boofrod or you can get the split CD from the bands.

PJ & GABY Time Well Spent
London Stoke Newington Ryan's Bar
February 11th 2010
Having gone from couple PJ & Gaby playing acoustic folk punk in the vein of Ghost Mice to expanding out to a four-piece, with the addition of their good friends Josh and Dan from Apologies, I Have None, and becoming electric (think more like Defiance, Ohio and early Against Me!), I'm definitely a fan of their fuller sound. Despite the low vocals on this video, the passion of PJ & Gaby's dual vocals and catchy melodies as a full live band shines through. Enjoy!
This track (or rather an acoustic version of it) is taken from their 2008 album 'Alarm Clocks Kill Dreams', which you can get from the band (see their MySpace for details). Expect full band recordings soon too!

BASTAD! RATS! All We Need
London Stoke Newington Ryan's Bar
February 11th 2010
Influenced by "every punk band that made us want mohawks, leather jackets and bullet belts when we were 15", fans of the likes of classic Rancid and The Bouncing Souls will enjoy the raucous tunes of this Bastingstoke four-piece. With beards and plenty of 'woahs', this is gruff sing-along punk at its most infectious! Apparently their vocalist/guitarist Adam Cardy has recently joined The Don Ramos Players as their new drummer, with Lloyd becoming their second guitarist. One for the trivia fans.
This song was the closer and is the one from their MySpace. I don't think it's been released on anything yet. Expect to hear plenty more from them and catch them live!
