For the 24th time, punk rock bowlers gathered to share their love of music and heavy rolling balls. This year was my first time at Punk Rock Bowling, and there was so much going on it was all a little overwhelming, but in the best possible way.Continue reading
Returning this summer over four days from the 1st to the 4th of August at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, Rebellion Festival has once again pulled together a line-up that runs the full length and breadth of worldwide alternative and punk rock culture.

Tickets and other info can be found at the links below. Continue reading

Punk legends Stiff Little Fingers have announced their annual UK tour that was twice postponed the last two years will take place this March. Tickets are on sale now and see the full schedule below. All tickets from the originally scheduled shows are valid for the new dates. See the full dates below.

A delayed journey later, I arrive in time to get into the venue and a drink before our support act. Continue reading
