Hope you remember TOXIC EPHEX from Aberdeen Scotland, and their marvellous and only full-length record “The Adventures Of Nobby Porthole The Cock Of The North”. Apart from the LP they also released a split LP with Oi Polloi “Mad As Fuck” and three 7″ EPs: “Punk As Fuck”, split with Shrapnel “Acts of Desperation” and...
Having played for just a few years back in the 90’s, DISAFFECT were super active and released 3 EPs, 2 LPs, not to mention the discography compilations, and toured Europe quite extensively. Through their activities and lyrics they have definitely left a mark on punks all over the world. 28 years since their first gigs...
SUBVISION are from Scotland and are not that all new band, as they started releasing their music in 2014 and they are definitely my kind of punk. But let’s go back a bit. Their all releases are 100% DIY, all but one self-released: in 2014 on CD entitled “The Bones of Contention”, and two EPs...
BRATAKUS from Scotland (interviewed here, reviewed here and here) and GAY PANIC DEFENCE also from Scotland (reviewed here) team up on this benefit release to give their sincere support to Tribe Animal Sanctuary Scotland. Tribe Animal Sanctuary Scotland is located in Central Scotland in Clyde Valley ands is a rescue animal sanctuary. In short,...

As Brian Curran announced in his interview on SANCTUS PROPAGANDA, the legendary punk band from Scotland featuring members from DISAFFECT, SEDITION, SCATHA, RUINS and THE DISTURBED are scheduled to play 2 gigs in Europe this August. This is the one and only occasion to see this 3-piece in action after more than 20 years. Authors...
“Cultural identity is an important part of any society”. Interview with SEDITION. When SEDITION announced they are on UK tour with REALITY CRISIS in November 2017 I figured out there is more to it than just a few gigs to play. So I went to check if it is another reunion for them or perhaps...
Angus and Brian plus their good old friend, the drum machine, made their way thru snowy Scottish roads to finally meet up in a secret location known to only three of them (just off A939, near the village called Fodderletter) to record another BRAIN ANGUISH anarcho punk song. This time you are greeted by a...
DISAFFECT, QUARANTINE, DEBRIS, RUIN, SCATHA, BRAIN ANGUISH – these are the names you are definitely familiar with. These are the names that have shaped punk for decades now. These are the names that co-define punk from Scotland, along with other fine bands. And they all have one man in common and I talked to this...
Scottish queer punks have delivered their big boy record. Still not sure what format this wil be available on but tape is on the list for sure. Violence doesn’t help but power violence does, at least for them, to get their message across. Prepare yourself for a 10 minute noise assault on your ears with...
BRATAKUS are Breagha on guitar and vocals and Onnagh on bass + a drum machine. They are sisters (Breagha and Onnagh, not the drum machine) and they have brought a lot of fresh and positive energy into the scene. Coming from a remote whisky village in Scotland they are serious about their beliefs, they mean...
October 31st brought another stupid terror assault in NYC where inncocent lives were lost. October 31st also brought the release of the all new BRATAKUS EP. The quick and responsive attack from those two vegan straight edge girls from Scotland. And although it is packed with two spooky halloween tribute songs you get the feeling...
BRATAKUS are a two piece Vegan, Riot Grrrl punk band from the North of Scotland. They are sisters Cuinn, they are young, they are punk and they must have received great punk upbringing. The result of this is super confident music and lyrics on this debut full-length. Soundwise BRATAKUS give you what is best in...
