Incredible line-up, not least because The Cords and Autocamper are playing. David Callahan's recent albums have been amazing. That ticket link again:

I’m rarely on here (must try harder), but wanted to flag that the @josielong.bsky.social show in York on Sunday, a warm up for Edinburgh fringe was phenomenally good!

There are comedy moments comedy (lots of that) but also reflections that have resonated with me since…. Anyway very recommended!

PREORDER: 'I Wonder When They’re Going To Destroy Your Face' by Prolapse

Loaded with urgent post-punk, angular guitar scrawl, to and fro vocals, clattering drums, motorik bass, and pleasingly raw production, it’s as if they’ve never left.

The relentless and probably futile promotion of our tour next month continues with a reminder that we hit that London in four weeks time playing at the beautiful The Old Church in Stoke Newington.

You definitely want to give this a listen. Stewart’s been making great records and helping to build the scene for over 30 years!

A few great shows announced recently. Stuart Pearce hometown headline (could well be an album release party…), Autocamper at Bristol Goes Pop, @publicitydept.bsky.social album launch party, and @teenagetompetties.bsky.social teaming up with @perennialtheband.bsky.social. Tons of stuff coming too!

Happy new year to all independent music acts, venues, labels, shops sound technicians and everyone who supports them, attends gigs, buys records, uses Bandcamp etc!

We are waking up early from our usual hibernation to see if there are some good gigs to help with in 2025!

It was great to be able to put on Lazarus Clamp again, and hear some new songs - new album available from Bandcamp.

Hopefully they do some more shows in 2025.

A gloriously uplifting evening as ever from @tmbg.bsky.social in Leeds last night!

First time in the balcony bit of the venue and it is a great view, but slightly feels like it may give way at any moment.

Bad photo of @thehighllamas.bsky.social from The Lexington show the other week. The new album is fantastic!
