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!

Solidarity Not Silence is a group of women (mostly feminist musicians) who are fighting a claim of defamation made against them by a famous musician. You might not know but justice is a real big costs in the UK and if you can’t afford, you’ll lose. Those women refused to be silenced and decided to fight! This is one case among so many. They need to win this case to win another, and another and another. If they reach enough, they can have a proper legal representation and a strong chance to win the case.
Today, we support Solidarity Not Silence through a 9 cover tracks compilation. All the benefits from tape sales, streaming and downloads will be donated to them. To know more about the case, please read this article.
Thanks to all the artists who participated (by order of appearance in the compilation):
