Ructions are a fast melodic hardcore band from Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. Comprising Matt (guitar), Connor (drums), Steve (bass), Janek (guitar) and Johnny (vocals), they play songs born of the contemporary political moment, with killer riffs and huge choruses.
The band’s first single, “Design Accident”, is a soaring take-down of free world leaders’ faux-interests in climate change and resulting environmental disasters. The future is anchored to their ignorance.
German Punkabilly-Band defines new tone mixing Alternative, Punk and more.
„All vocals tuned and modified mashed into just one empty hookline” is what the new single of German Punkabillies The Bloodstrings says. Their new single is about the decline of essential music. But it’s more to their song than that. They redefine their metal-driven Psychobilly/Punkrock sound. Plus they just have this amazing catchy riff!
When one thinks of Punkabilly, everyone would have Bands with quiffs and Psychobilly style in mind, right? Well, Bloodstrings were never your typical Billies. They play with an upright bass and are likely to be categorised alongside bands like The Creepshow or even The Living End, but their influences reach into Grundge and Glam Punk, Skate-Punk and Thrash Metal. That led them to be on stage of the world famous festival Wacken Open Air, among other around Europe.
The new single „Hookline“ is out on Youtube, Spotify, iTunes, Deezer and more and is the second new release since their second and most famous album “Born Sick” from 2017. As their shows got cancelled obviously, this is what they do now!
