She's the girl that I gotta...

BLACKOUT

This is worth it just for Meth dancing in the street at the end.

Amazing...

...but why? Answers on a postcard please.

The lads.

Bleak reality.

Played out.

But still funny.

Jesus.

Get onto Scrantastic Mr Fox here. Best off skipping to about 1:00 into it...

BOOM.

When meow-meow stocks dry up...

Lloyd Christmas?

LEEDS INVADES LIVERPOOL!
28th May @ Bar Samui, Hardman Street, Liverpool, L1 9AX. £4 door tax. No ticket or guestlist bollocks.

DEAL WITH IT
Relentless riffs, solos and apocalyptic nightmares. The late 80s NY-esque hardcore equivalent of Terminator and Mad Max, these lot just keep getting better.

MOB RULES
Bastard sons of Bl'ast, Neanderthal and the second side of My War. Intense, violent and disturbing. Do not miss.

CLOSURE
Blisteringly fast and crushingly slow, and fear not, cartoony teeny-mosh disguised as powerviolence these boys certainly are NOT!

SICK-fuckin-O
Back from hiatus with a new lineup and some new shit. Hardcore in the vein of Siege, Negative FX and Poison Idea. Ex-members of blah blah blah.

AMATEUR VIDEO
Local boys holding down the fort with some garage-influence hardcore punk, paying tribute to the likes of The Misfits, Red Cross and early Black Flag.


Flyer coming very soon for this, but for now, here's a picture of John Candy.

Maybe...?

Where's our summer?!

This is cool, summer nights are the best.

This fuckin' guy...

A fatty...

...but a goody. This still creases me.

Rock swede.

This.

Amateur Video.

Now a reality. Now that Nowhere Fast is no more, me and Adam have swapped vocals for guitar and vice-versa, recruited Dawson (previously of Hammer Attack vocal fame) for the bass and ex-Abandon Ship stickman Matt Devine behind the pots 'n pans.

Monumental.

Social Circkle - 'City Shock' LP - No Way Records


Picked this up the very day it came out whilst on my US trip in september last year. In fact I'm quite sure Brandon at Vinyl Confilct was unpacking the boxes they arrived in as we walked into the shop. I love this band. Nowhere Fast got to play with them three times on their European tour last year (would have been four times if it wern't for the bullshit traffic on the way to London...) and they were amazing every night, despite some pretty unappreciative crowds and some very weird sound in Leeds.
One of my favourite current 'early 80s revival' bands, Social Circkle lean hard on the punk end of the hardcore punk scales, taking influence from late 70s bands such as Lost Kids and Teenage Head as well as faster early 80s bands such as the FUs and Zero Boys. I just could not stop listening to this LP. A healthy combination of pounding mid-paced punk rock and ripping fast songs with some great lyrics, alot of outsider kind of issues without straying into the 'Nothing Left Inside' creepy kind of mental anguish / serial killer potential zone. This record basically picks up where the two great EPs left off; great guitar sound, driving bass, awesome drumming, simple yet intelligent songwriting, and tons of energy. Fans of bands like Regulations and Shitty Limits will love this. If this kind of thing is your bag then this is a flawless record. 11 songs, out now on No Way Records.

WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

If you like music, and I mean actually LIKE music, then you should like The Sonics. It's that simple. I only really got into this band over the last couple of years and it has changed my life for the better. Just put on the ''Here Are The Sonics!'' album and do your best not to dance. Imagine all the best elements of late 50s rock'n'roll and early 60s soul, add in some thundering drums, manic howling vocals and THAT overdriven fuzz guitar, and you've got The Sonics. To say punk wouldn't have happened without the Sonics would be a bit daft, but I'm pretty sure they sped things along a bit.



And here's that guitar tone I was talking about...

Just like witches at black masses.

So you've just made it nice and safely out of the 60s. Only to get smashed squarely in the teeth by these Brummie gents. The boys in 1970, incredible.
