In terms of surprise returns to have occurred in recent times, perhaps one of the most unexpected bands to make their comeback is MÖNGÖL HÖRDE – the hardcore punk side project of folk-punk singer-songwriter extraordinaire Frank Turner, former MILLION DEAD drummer Ben Dawson and guitarist Matt Nasir (best known as the keyboard player in Turner’s…
Folk-punk hero Frank Turner has announced the re-emergence of his hardcore punk side-project Möngöl Hörde and a short UK tour! Nowadays, the vast majority of rock fans are probably most familiar with Frank Turner from either his brilliant career of folk-punk albums as a solo artist and with backing band The Sleeping Souls, or his…
As we continue through a rather wet and windy January, it’s time for the latest entry in our End Of Year Awards, this time courtesy of one of our senior writers, Jack Fermor-Worrell. Over to you Jack! Album of the Year: Eternity, In Your Arms – Creeper This year was rather unique for me in…
If you listened to a lot of rock radio stations in the early years of the 2000s, then chances are you’ll be familiar with Seether. The South African band made a huge splash, particularly in the US, with massive anthems like Fine Again, Broken, Remedy and Fake It, and have continued going relatively strong to…
Since the dawn of the 00’s, there’ve been few bands who seem to have had the continuing success of Iowa five-piece Stone Sour. Having produced some genuine modern classics since the release of their self-titled debut in 2002, including the beloved Come What(ever) May in 2006, the band have once again returned to ignite the rock world…

Now touring in support of his…
Having fronted Texas pop-punk heroes Bowling For Soup for almost two and a half-decades now, it came as a welcome surprise to many when frontman/guitarist Jaret Reddick announced his first ever solo acoustic tour, ‘Heartache & Hilarity’. We caught up with Jaret himself on the penultimate night of the tour at Gorilla in Manchester to find out more about how it…
As frontman for Texan pop-punk titans Bowling For Soup for almost twenty-five years now, it’s probably not too far of a stretch to say that Jaret Reddick might well be one of his genre’s most consistently excellent songwriters. Now touring solo for the first time ever, he’s assembled a career-spanning one man show entitled Heartache…
In terms of the British rock music scene as a whole right in 2017, it’s difficult to come up with a band who perhaps have the importance that Enter Shikari seem to right now. As politics seem to divide more and more people as time ticks on, the St Albans band have returned with The…
When you think of places to go and watch hard-hitting punk rock bands do their thing, perhaps Liverpool on a Sunday night might not be at the top of that list. On this particular occasion though, you’d be wrong to assume as much, as Massachusetts-based horror punk outfit Energy are in town, and they’ve brought…
