Like most of my Christmases, the Christmas of 2008 had me lying awake until far into the morning before I got any sleep. This time it was mostly due to a Christmas show for children I saw on TV that made me scared of sleeping. This lasted well into January 2009 when I just sorta ..read more

And Pete from Ducking Punches played in the band early on. Matt Hart (also Squirtgun) and Dan Lumley from Screeching Weasel and Riverdales also made ..read more

It has nine tracks, so is it an LP? It’s only fourteen minutes long, is it an EP? Who cares? Being a Bloated Kat release, there are certain expectations. Label boss Servo Jeffersen has been pretty good about identifying and supporting quality pop punk bands, and The Headies’ latest LP is no exception. This is ..read more

We’ll have to head back to the ‘80s for this pick. The Fastbacks is a band I only got into quite recently. Our story starts in Seattle, Washington. Way before Nirvana. It was rock ‘n’ roll royalty; the kings of Queens, the Ramones and England’s true Queen, Queen, that inspired Kurt Bloch and Kim Warnick ..read more

Right, I will limit this review’s Green Day references by getting out of the way at this stage that the Kimberly Steaks are obviously big fans of Kerplunk. Glasgow’s The Kimberly Steaks kinda sound more East Bay than actual East Bay bands, partly due to the Billie Joe-esque vocals, but there is a lot more ..read more

Bloated Kat boss Servo Jefferson has a knack for finding good pop punk bands and giving them an outlet for releasing their music. TV Cop hails from Bloated Kat’s home state of Iowa, and they play good-time party punk of the ilk you might have found in the old Awesomefest days. “Whale Jr.” is the ..read more

Cherym’s debut full length LP starts out as a huge pop punk record, instantly enamoring me to the Northern Ireland trio. The music is both poppy and gritty, catchy and infectious, as well as powerful and edgy. I was ready to write a glowing review and consider adding this to my list of contenders for ..read more

Italy’s Jaguero return with their sophomore EP, following up 2022’s “Worst Weekend Ever.” And the past two years seem to have turned Jaguero into a very different band. Where that first EP featured big, broad, soaring punk songs that still had an intimate feel, this EP is edgier and grittier, yet mostly still quite melodic ..read more

Hailing from down under, in the Melbourne suburb of Ferntree Gully, La Famiglia unleashes a powerful garage punk assault. Deep fuzz rules the guitars and bass, while front man Luke Seymoup belts out some powerful singing and shouting, in a Jello Biafra meets Ian MacKaye sort of way. The songs are punctuated by shouted gang ..read more

Demoted, from Brooklyn, New York, are an old school hardcore punk band that may remind you of bands like Minor Threat, with angry shouted vocals and punchy powerful instrumentals, though they’re not quite as speedy as those bands of 40+ years ago. The best example of this is on the title track, which is easily ..read more
