DEMENTED ARE GO

Among the rare sick sick sick bands you never tire of, Demented Are Go is unique. Figurehead Sparky has the ultimate psycho throat, as if he’s gargling with razor blades in a cesspool ablaze. It’s one of the reasons Demented is also a celebrated name outside of the psychobilly scene. In 41 years of punked up twisted hillbilly band history, the current line-up is the longest lasting of all Demented incarnations by far and nails […]

MINDWAR

With just a demo and an EP under their belt, Mindwar already made waves in the hardcore scene, touring all over Europe, supporting legends such as Sick Of It All and Agnostic Front, and playing at multiple festivals, including Ieperfest and Revolution Calling. All these feats are self-enforced by the five-piece from Belgium, ‘cause they […]

DISCIPLINE

A true juggernaut of Dutch street punk, having a laugh for causing trouble on the way. It’s known far and wide Discipline has a truckload of boisterous hard hitting brick rhymes that still resonate through current times. So tighten your boots and braces and brace yourselves: a beer in the one hand, the other a […]

THE SHIVVIES

A bona fide punk rock super group from Holland. These lads also operate in The Real Danger, The Windowsill and Giant Eagles and have played in other celebrated bands since last century. They’ve got a penchant for anything Ramones, from The Queers to The Riverdales, and they’ve got the chops to bring it on themselves. […]

CENOBITES

Cenobites are psychobilly hellraisers, fattening the sound with punk and metal since 1994. Like a noughties Motörhead with a bull fiddle in a Hammer movie, this band rocks shivers down spines from Rotterdam to Brazil and beyond. Cenobites’ latest splatter platter still rips diamond vinyl needles to shreds. Moreover, their executions of GG Allin and […]

BORN FROM PAIN

In the 25 years since Born From Pain emerged, they’ve seen the state of the world go from bad to worse. It’s one of the main reasons why their pile driver hardcore is unrelenting. This band won’t rest on its laurels and always leaves your senses banged up in the best possible way. Change or […]

SKROETBALG

Throw this chorus into Google Translate: ‘Ponypark Is Kut’. Indeed, Skroetbalg make no bones about it as they scream on in their Drenthe dialect from the east of The Netherlands. Their peasantry Motörpunk roar is the stuff of pitchfork rebellion with many axes to grind and havin’ fun while you’re at it. Skroetbalg brings it […]

PETER PAN SPEEDROCK

When Peter Pan Speedrock gave us the thumps up years ago to organize the first ScumBash – which was more or less a big ass Rotterdam Speedfest back then – we booked the band right away. Naturally they played a scorcher, but a few years later PPSR was no more. In 2021 the hard as […]

HOODS

When you see a Hoods show in this day and age, it’s hard to imagine they really are approaching their 30th anniversary. Mikey Hood and his cohorts come across at least as aggro as back in the day and they won’t have it any any other way. Pummeling Sacramento hardcore to thrash yer senses at the edge of the pit […]

THE TOY DOLLS

To the outside world The Toy Dolls are mostly known for their punked up version of the kiddo ditty Nellie The Elephant. Sure enough, since 1982 this massive hit guarantees mad crowd antics at their live celebrations, but these tight rockin’ jesters pack dozens of party anthems, from My Wife Is A Psychopath to Lambrusco Kid. […]
