Countdown To Rebellion – Day42: Introducing DeeCRACKS
I only came across these back in April this year, when their set was one of the highlights of the Manchester Punk Festival. Melodic hardcore 3 piece from Austria, in the same vein as The Queers and Screeching Weasel. Rama-a-lamma pedal to the metal, no frills, no fills, 2 minute pop-punk songs are their speciality. …
Countdown To Rebellion – Day43: Introducing The Human Error
This is like going back to 1976 and the first appearance of Eater, debuting in Manchester, with Buzzcocks supporting. Eater were probably the youngest band on the nascent punk scene back then, all being between 14 and 17. Fast forward 47 years and Eater are at Rebellion, so are Jo Jo And The Teeth (Andy …
Countdown To Rebellion – Day44: Introducing Yur Mum
There seems to have been a proliferation in the last couple of years, of drum and guitar two pieces. 2022 festival highlights for me were provided by Yur Mum, alongside Mannequin Death Squad, The Meffs and Vulpynes. Add to those the likes of The Sewer Cats, Slap Rash and Minatore (also appearing at Rebellion) and …
Countdown To Rebellion – Day45: Introducing Evil Blizzard

Legendary music journalist Mick Middles described them as the worst band he’d ever seen, which is quite an accolade, considering some of the dross that …
Countdown To Rebellion – Day46: Introducing Smoking Gives You Big Tits
First up I feel duty bound as a doctor of punk rock, that smoking is bad for you and almost certainly won’t increase the size of your boobs. However, what you will get from listening to the Bolton/Salford 4 piece, is a blend of high energy riot grrrl influenced post-punk, humour and political comment. Oh …
Countdown To Rebellion – Day 49: Introducing The Battery Farm
Next up in our series of bands to check out at Rebellion this year, The Battery Farm. The great thing about the “punk family” is that there are so many different strains, like an out-of-control virus, continually mutating. Remind you of anything? Whether it’s “77” punk, oi, hardcore, straight edge, skate punk or street punk, …
News: Countdown To Rebellion – Day 50 : Introducing 1983
With Rebellion Festival fast approaching, we thought we’d introduce you to some of the lesser known bands on the bill, 1 per day in the lead up to Aug 3rd. First out of the traps is 1983.
