Introducing: Matilda’s Scoundrels
As far as eclectic music goes Hastings' Matilda's Scoundrels are among the most diverse you're likely to encounter. The six-piece freely admit they fall into a 'pretty tough category on the punk spectrum,' trying to distance themselves from the clichés of folk punk with a sound that can land anywhere between traditional folk, sea shanties...

Introducing: The Wild Strays
Deep within the heart of the Black Country something feral and wild has taken shape, evolved, harnessed the power of rock and readied itself to be unleashed upon the world next month.

Pulled Apart By Horses to headline Fluffer Pit Party this May
Fluffer Pit Parties have gained a reputation for being fine purveyors of all-out, face melting fun. After all, the concept is simple and fail-safe. Set up a 360-degree stage in the middle of a room. Invite the hottest scuzz, thrash, noise and punk act to play, and let punters go wild as they get a... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Salt The Snail
These days it's harder than ever to catch peoples' attention. If it's not the fascinating latest activities of Kim Kardashian and her equally talentless friends or the real-time delights of Instagram and Snapchat, then it's the never-ending stream of content from the likes of Sky Sports and Netflix. People are so busy doing nothing that they just... Continue Reading →
