You can read up on all the action from the weekend and we’ve also compiled some of our photo highlights in the gallery below, captured…
Given that her most recent show on UK shores a few weeks ago was supporting the reformed My Chemical Romance in a packed stadium, an early slot for Cassy Brooking, aka Cassyette (6) feels like somewhat of a change of pace. “Guys I’m still waking up, you’re gonna help me right?”, comes the jovial quip…
On the bank holiday weekend with two extra days added in, (thanks Lizzie) we adventured to the land of Hatfield to soak up the atmosphere of Slam Dunk Festival 2022. Scorching sun, drinks flowing and the mecca of pop punk was in full swing. Slam Dunk will always be one of our favourite festivals –…
Following on from their third studio album Fight the Good Fight and time supporting Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy on the Hella Mega Tour in 2021, The Interrupters are back with a brand new single, In the Mirror from their forthcoming album In the Wild. The album is a fourteen track opus that…

Slam Dunk Festival 2019 is now just a handful of days away (seriously, how did it get so close so quickly?!) and we cannot wait. To help get you all in the mood for Slam Dunk, we’ve got a playlist for you all to spin. Featuring twenty six epic songs you might well hear across…
We said with their first announcement that the Download Festival team certainly weren’t messing around with their plans for 2019. Having dropped all three headliners and another dozen plus bands in the first announcement, they’ve followed it up with another mammoth helping of bands for next year. There’s only one place we can start, and…
Ska-punk is a genre that many people will tell you is dead. With the genre far from the height of popularity it once had, it’s now just seen as a nostalgia thing. So when The Interrupters released their second album Say It Out Loud in 2016 it felt like a real breath of fresh air….
Continuing with the traditional Rock Sins end of year awards, this time it’s the turn of one of our senior photographers, Fran Dignon, to make her choices from the past twelve months. Over to Fran! 1) Album of the year: The Interrupters – Say It Out Loud Not only would I say The Interrupters put…
