Today, California legends Redd Kross have announced their first UK and European headline dates in several years including two intimate dates at The Lexington in London, which promise to be evenings to remember.

Steven McDonald had the following to say:

Groundbreaking NYC-based nouveau-punk collective The 1865 present their fascinating new video for “John Brown’s Gat”. This single can be found on their debut album “Don’t Tread On We!”, released via Mass Appeal Records. This follows up the earlier released singles “Buckshot” and “Get Out”. Directed by Hectah, the new video combines  illustrations by Honeychild Coleman, visuals and text from old newspapers, and stylized imagery of the band members themselves.

Alternative punk outfit Nervus have dropped “Fake” - the final track from their brand-new album “Tough Crowd”, out on September 27th, via Big Scary Monsters (UK) and Get Better Records (US). 

The accompanying video stars Milk Teeth’s Becky Blomfield, alongside Em Foster, lead vocalist of Nervus, and encourages fans to enter a competition to win test pressings and merch by creating their own video for the track using thehashtag #beyourownnervus.

Straddling the fine line between indie rock and Britpop, Sebastian Straw presents his new single “My Friend”, a catchy song that foreshadows the album “Welcome Yesterday”, to be released in mid-October via Seahorse Recordings.

His lyrics are both emotional and serious. “My Friend” tells the story of a  dear and trusted comrade - both humble and  stubborn, vying to face his  difficulties alone, silently declining any help from his friends.

Alternative punk outfit Nervus have shared the second track from their brand-new album “Tough Crowd”, out on September 27th, 2019, Big Scary Monsters; “They Don’t” is a tirade on the UK government’s investment in policing, and lead vocalist Em Foster’s own experiences with the police. The band have also announced a string of UK and US dates, including a main support slot at Pup's Electric Ballroom show in London, and a stop at The Fest in Gainesville, USA.

New Jersey-based pop-rock/punk duo 18th & Addison have dropped a new video for “Leeches”, the first single off their upcoming Wiretap Records debut, due out this fall.

Check out the “Leeches” video below.

Today, LA rockers Redd Kross release the melodic sugar-rush that is “The Party Underground”, an undoubted highlight from the much-anticipated “Beyond the Door” out on August 23rd, 2019, on Merge Records and a track that features a guest solo from Melvins’ frontman and guitarist Buzz Osborne.

Nervus have never shied away from exploring complex issues within their unique breed of alt-punk music. Themes of gender dysphoria, identity and queerness ran rife through first record “Permanent Rainbow”, a record written in the bedroom of lead vocalist Em Foster and serving as a personal catharsis for her.

It just keeps getting better! PUP is taking over the world and they’re not showing signs of slowing down with the release of their new visually stunning video for “Sibling Rivalry”.
