Live Review: Somebody’s Child / Wynona – Foundry, Sheffield 09.02.2023
Thursday night and a trip to the Foundry in Sheffield, tonight’s gig was in the smaller room, but that didn’t detract from the atmosphere of the show, indeed it actually added to it in my opinion. The sound and lighting crew were excellent, it was pretty much sold out and the beer was well priced …

News: Radio Free Alice sign with Double Drummer on release of the frenetic slice of post punk rock ‘I Gotta (Fall In Love)’.
The obscenely young and deliciously snotty Radio Free Alice‘s third single ‘I Gotta (Fall In Love) is a spine tingling slab of frenetic post punk that has deep inside its genes a panoply of very commendable bands.

Track: Eora/Sydney pop punksters A Swift Farewell are ‘Sorry’ – they are back with a vengeance and better than ever.
A brief absence and line up change hasn’t softened the fire in the bellies of A Swift Farewell: they are back and better than ever with their new single ‘Sorry’ – a peppy blast of goodness that bursts into the ether with a frenetic blast. The trademark quiet/loud ethic is present and accounted for: soft …
