Hard touring band THE RUN UP (Bristol, UK) have announced that their new record will be released in time for their US tour following their popular ‘Good Friends, Bad Luck’ EP which was released in November 2018.

The melodic punks have spent much of the last two years playing across Europe, crafting a name for themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the punk rock scene right now.

There is a plethora of labels releasing the record “It’s amazing to have so many rad labels and people involved with releasing our new record, we are truly honored” says Daniel, bassist. “We 10 long days in York recording with Dave Boothroyd at Reel Recording Studios and it was an amazing experience. Dave is a champion and has became a good friend through the experience. He pushed us and helped the record turn out to be what it is, our best yet by a long way.”

“We spoke to lots of labels, including some huge ones; we listened to our friends and took on all the advice we could. We needed to feel comfortable with how the release was going to be and we are so stoked with the labels involved. Real Ghost Records in the UK, Gunner Records in Europe and our new friends La Escalera Records (CA), Swamp Cabbage (FL), Money Pit Music (GA), Get Party (Canada) and &Vinyl (TN) in North America have all been a dream to work with. All amazing people who we are eternally grateful for for putting their  belief in us.”

The official relese date is 3rd October with the band hitting the US for a month-long tour and then head back tour Europe to conitue party with a further 3 weeks of touring.

(record review) TRIPLE SUNDAE-Glow e.p.

Triple Sundae from London, UK recently released their new e.p. and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This London based band released their fourth e.p. since their start in 2014. This is the final e.p. prior sailing to the restless album waters. This e.p. contains six songs. If I must compare their music to some bands, it would be Nothington, Menzingers, Gnarwolves and similar bands meaning very melodic mid tempo punkrock with very emotional vocals, awesome voice, catchy riffs with a lot of melody and harmony and excellent songwriting. The music is like I said, not very fast, but that doesn´t mean it is not energetic and makes you wanna dance, cry, jump around, sing along and it moves you and that is I think the main purpose, because I didn´t just forget this record after listening, no quite the contrary, it remained in my memory for a lot of time and made me wanna listen to it more, after all, I think we can safely say that it succeeded. Best songs for me: Everything´s cool, Glow.

(new single-hardcore punk) Check out Brutalligators new video/single!

eb37dbb9-9714-4ed7-915d-2ec4cbf7cfe1

We are very excited to share the new single and video from South East UK punks Brutalligators.

Taken from their upcoming second EP, ‘Friends I wish I’d Had’, coming via Real Ghost Records on digital and limited tape cassette in July. This EP sees the band amped up, angry, and delivering 5 tracks of blistering punk goodness.

Here’s how the band describe the single ‘Kill Your Heroes’:

“KYH was written back in 2017, after the news of abuse claims against both PWR BTM and The Football Club. Both featured respected, outspoken idols in marginalised communities abusing their power and position to be horrible people. It was so sad and angering, and since then it’s been one after the other. Powerful people (mostly men) taking advantage of their privilege, power and position for their own sexual gain. We’re fucking sick of it.”

Brutalligators are a four-piece pile of limbs from South East UK, playing energetic and happy sounding songs about heartbreak, life going wrong and all of the injustices in the world today.
