tour dates

From May 6th to May 28th 2022, the Canadian street punk institution Bishops Green is finally on its way to Europe again! They are firmly established as one of the leading bands in the street punk scene. They will have a new album ready by then. Already a few months ago, they returned impressively with the single and video for “Waiting”.

King Buffalo’s fourth full-length record, “Acheron”, will be released on December 3rd, 2021, issued by the band directly (US) and in Europe through Stickman Records. The widely-hailed heavy psych outfit will have vinyl and CD preorders available on October 22nd, here.

There is a red light at the end of the tunnel in this concert deprived time. Having always been an immersive and sensory experience, the shows of French avant-garde black metallers Celeste will be taken to the next level on their upcoming European tour throughout March and April 2022, set to include a UK date at London venue The Dome on March 10th.

Stockholm’s LIK will finally bring their latest killer album “Misanthropic Breed” to the road in March 2022 when they will be going out on a headliner tour throughout Europe. Support comes from fellow Swedishmen Mass Worship!

Virtuosic extreme metallers Obscura have their sixth album “A Valediction” on the way, set to be released on November 19th, 2021, through Nuclear Blast Records and the German combo around mastermind and founder Steffen Kummerer is more eager than ever to finally hit the stages again.

But unfortunately, these times are still challenging, and the tour had to be postponed to 2022.

Emma Ruth Rundle’s latest single “Blooms of Oblivion” intimately reflects on an experience that was too big for her as a child - “Down at the methadone clinic we waited / hoping to take home your cure / The curdling cowards, the crackle of china / you say that it’s making you pure”, she sings. For anyone that’s endured trauma and grief, there’s a beautiful solace in hearing Rundle articulate and humanise that particular type of pain not only with her words, but with her unique mysterious language of melody and timbre.

If the start of the breakthrough for Bambara was the radically reimagined sound of 2018’s “Shadow on Everything” (dubbed by NPR a “western gothic opus”), then the moment it truly arrived was on the cinematically riotous noir-punk of 2020’s “Stray”. In the UK, buoyed by the enthusiasm of DJ Steve Lamacq (who called the band, “one of his favourite discoveries of the year”), the band rose sharply, with significant press support and an A-listing at Lamacq’s 6Music, immediately selling out shows across the country.
