The Unknowns – ‘Looking From The Outside’ (Bargain Bin Records / Drunken Sailor Records)

Prior to ‘Looking From The Outside’ Australian punk rockers The Unknowns have released two stonking albums but with this their third they’ve surpassed all expectations and made an absolutely stunning platter of punk rock n roll tunes that harks back to the good old days of The Saints and prime Cosmic Psychos a fair dose of Birdman and of course Da Bruvers from NYC are infused as well but Hey Ho lets go. entwined in this music’s DNA it should be on the radar of every self respecting punk rock aficionado. Oh and the small matter the band consists of Some other Australian band people might have heard of called The Chats who made this record whilst on Smoko.


Garage rock from the early 70s is a big influence on these songs as we’d expect and from the power pop opening of ‘All Grown Up’ its hooligan rock n roll with melodies borrowed from The Boys its an album bursting with a joy of music and togetherness.

There’s an honesty about the music that is both endearing and alluring and its so addictive. ‘None To Me’, ‘Lost Me’ are great riffs with a heap of melody and the latter has some grunt on that Bass that sets the tone like a long lost Birdman song.

‘Hold My Shadow’ is so good big riffs and sounds like it fell off the coolest radio show from the 70s you could wish to hear. ‘I Know You Know’ is mixing it up with the Misfits before Aemon Sandwich leads the vocals on ‘Psychotic’. Trying ot pick a highlight is pretty tough when every song is as good as the last and that was your favourite. ‘Ain’t What You Want’ is pure Boys but if Stiff Little Fingers had written it. much like the title track and album closer Honest John Plain would be proud of this record.


The first single ‘Thunder In My Head’ should be heard everywhere. It’s the summer of The Unknowns for sure. Hell Chuck Berry would be proud of the chugg of ‘Crazy Eyes’ as would the dynamic due that was Lure and Thunders. What a wonderful record that you shouldn’t pass by this summer if you only make one purchase to soundtrack the summer then make it this bad boy you won’t regret it for a second. Go buy The Unknowns before everyone knows. Buy IT!

Jim Bob – ‘Automatic’ / ‘Stick’ (Cherry Red)

Jim Bob – ‘Automatic’ / ‘Stick’ (Cherry Red)

Wow, can 2025 actually get any better – Well a new album from the great Jim Bob of Carter Unstoppable Sex Machine fame – is always something to cherish but up comes not only one new album but TWO brand new long players from undoubtedly the UK’s most underrated singer songwriter. With the release of Automatic and Stick, we are in indebted to Jim and his wonderful record company Cherry Red.

As always Jim Bob has been on somewhat of a golden era and the release of these two albums, his 13th + 14th respectively, show that if anything Mr Bob is riding the wave of a creative peak that shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. First up is the bold yet mellow Automatic, which is followed up by the rockier Stick but no doubt about it – this isn’t a double album but two great albums both with 11 songs that deserve their time in the spotlight!

Either way ‘Automatic’ gets straight to the point with the opener and first single ‘Victoria Knits The Wars’ and doesn’t let up for a moment. All the ways to the last notes of ‘Our Forever Home’. Jim Bob takes us on a roller coaster ride of what it is to be living in 2025. 

One thing that I have always admired about James Robert Morrison (AKA Jim Bob) is his ability to turn even the most mundane story about the banality of living in the UK into a glorious pop/rock song that speaks to everyone and gives the listener a musical way into someone else’s life, yet most people will know someone like this, especially no more so in ‘Frank’s Bought A Drone’.

This happens again on the track ‘Baby On Board’ which regales us about an everyday tale about a day which features a commute and a fight and even Google Maps along with so much more, that you can not believe it hadn’t been sung about before.

However, with the Stick album, Jim Bob has given us a short sharp shock album that is brilliant and even though it features Jim Bob singing about even more everyday routines it’s the glorious ability he has to relate to pulse of the nation – for in ‘I Go To The Park’ he has written about easily most of the population and their need to just go for a walk and clear their head. Yet in doing so – it comes in the form of a pop-tastic song that will no doubt be a future earworm that you will be more than happy stuck with.

One of the more surprising songs on ‘Stick’ is ‘Lovers Rock’, which is a perfect example of the genius that is Jim Bob, which is a love story all wrapped up in a snarling punk rock serenade. Power Punk Pop perfection all in just a shade over 4 minutes! And we haven’t even mentioned the single from the album yet – which in ‘Every Day’s A Discotheque’ highlights the brilliance of Jim Bob in just shy of 3 minutes! 

Using an adage that has been utilised to death but in this case nothing truer can be said – these two albums are all killer and no filler which in 22 songs is practically unheard of. Just do yourself a favour and buy/pre-order these albums before they are released next month.

Wolfsbane – ‘Live Faster’ (Self Release)

Wolfsbane – ‘Live Faster’ (Self Release)

Somewhere back in the mists of time, Tamworth terrors Wolfsbane were one of the bright young hopes of a burgeoning UK rock scene. Along with the likes of The Dogs D’amour, The Quireboys and The Almighty, they graced the covers of the UK music magazines and were destined for big things. With a fierce live reputation and a dedicated fanbase affectionately known as ‘The Howling Mad Shitheads’, it seemed Blaze Bayley and the boys could not fail; then they signed to Def American Records, the label run by the legendary Rick Rubin, mastermind behind The Beastie Boys and others. A producer who had turned around the careers of Slayer, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and The Cult to name but a few. But somehow, he managed to zap all the live energy from Wolfsbane’s debut album ‘Live Fast, Die Fast’.

While they redeemed themselves on the following Brendan O’Brien produced mini album ‘All Hells Breaking Loose…’, sadly the stars never aligned for the band, Blaze jumped ship for Iron Maiden and the rest as they say, is history.

Now, some 40-odd years later, Wolfsbane plan to right the wrongs and have completely re-recorded that debut album in full.

I always thought of Wolfsbane as the British Van Halen. My first introduction was their Friday Rock Show session, Blaze sounded like Roth and Jase Edwards had the guitar histrionics to match Eddie Van Halen, the live feel of those songs matched the energy of the Californian legends. Maybe if Dave & Eddie had started their days on a council estate a few miles from Birmingham, they too would’ve sounded just like Wolfsbane. In 2025 this re-imagined ‘Live Fast, Die Fast’ sounds raw, tight and exciting. With the same running order and the song structures staying faithful to the original recording, what stands out most is the production.

With that familiar hammer-on intro, ‘Manhunt’ fills the speakers like an old, lost friend. Is it faster? It sounds fast! The main change here is the drum sound, while the original was snare-heavy and polished, the drums overpowering and in your face, here the instruments all gel as they should. Next up, ‘Shakin’ sounds great, real ‘live in the studio’ vibes here. It’s the song that remains the most Van Halen-like to me. A classic tune given the sound it so rightly deserves.

With face-melting guitars and a killer hook, ‘Killing Machine’ was a live favourite back in the day, and it still holds up. ‘Fell Out Of Heaven’, again, has Roth vibes in the vocal department and another killer chorus, yet in my mind I still prefer the Friday Rock Show version.

Elsewhere, the live energy is captured magnificently by Jase Edwards’ stellar production, even the big MTV single ‘I Like It Hot’, with its sheen removed, is still as commercially pop-tastic as I remember. My only gripe would be the token ballad ‘Tears Of A Fool’, which would have been all well and good if they were The Dogs D’amour, but it didn’t fit the feel of the album in 1989, and it still doesn’t in 2025. Maybe they shoulda banged on ‘Paint The Town Red, instead.

While this re-recorded version of ‘Live Fast, Die Fast’ is unfinished business for the band, and is steeped in nostalgia, the songs stand the test of time and remind those who were there what a great band Wolfsbane were back in the late 80’s.

‘Live Fast, Die Fast’ remains a testament to the fact that not all the most exciting bands came from the Sunset Strip back in the late 80’s, some came from the Midlands too. Do yourself a favour and get reacquainted with a lost gem.

Fantazmaz – ‘Fantazmaz’ (Ghetto Bitch Records)

Fantazmaz – ‘Fantazmaz’ (Ghetto Bitch Records)

Don’t be fooled by the ambient intro ‘Are You Enjoying The Peaceful Skies’ because the roof is about to cave in. ‘Dead On The Way Home’ is a sonic kick to the jaw in just over half a minute. Christ, the song finished before I could type the title out. It’s swift, loud, to the point and bursting with energy. We’re off.

Brazil’s fiercest new punk rock export comes to the UK with their debut self-titled album, with the familiar machine pounding of Jamie Oliver on tub thumping and boy does he tub thump. Formed in 2019 by frontwoman Thami and guitarist Raf Oliver, Fantazmaz found their raw, unrelenting sound with the addition of bassist Chokito and former U.K. Subs drummer. They manage to mix blistering punk energy with a fearless presence; they sound like a band in a hurry, but to where Gawd only knows.

This record was recorded in two days, I’m reliably informed, and it sounds like it – not in a bad way, but the sound of a band who are raring to go and bursting to get out there and cause some trouble, where I think these songs will really come to life.

Rage and fury is one way to describe what follows over the ensuing ten songs, with one as ferocious as the last ‘You Owe Me A Fortune’ is rabid where ‘Distortion’ has a big Bass rumble and frantic fret flurries its as much about the energy they have created as it is about the songs because to be fair they aren’t over egged it is a lean mean war machine. They do reflect on global issues with lyrics such as those on the excellent ‘Does God Know Misery’; the melody is an earworm, and the guitar work is killing it.

This is proving to be a fresh lick of paint on a scene that is so overcrowded, but the music contained within is on fire and will grab your attention; rather, it will demand your attention.

‘Scars Of Downtown’ dissects the loneliness of metropolis and inner city London living, ‘Corporate Behave’ rages whilst looking at the nodding dogs with some post DKs guitar tricks thrown in for good measure. Hell, we’ve almost got to the finale, and it seems like it’s only just started. The thick production offers a real beefy sound that adds weight to the energy this record manages to own from the first to the last, with raging solos attempting to break out all over the place but being fought back by the solid rhythm section, none better than on the thrashing ‘Warheads’.

To close off, we have some weird trip hop beats melting on ‘Just Before Hell Comes Around’ just to fuck with your head before saying adios. A fine album, debut album to be exact, from Fantazmaz, a band I think we’ll be hearing about more and more in 2025.

Jesus And Mary Chain – Tramshed, Cardiff 21.06.25

Jesus And Mary Chain – Tramshed, Cardiff 21.06.25

It’s been a while, best part of a decade, since I last clapped eyes on the brothers Reid in Cardiff across town in the second room of the Uni, and the time before that it was this very same venue but tonight was a one-off and not part of a tour, but something of a warm-up for the band’s appearance in Milton Keynes the following night at the Forever Now festival (at the time of writing I believe the stage at MK was beset with tech difficulties so its something of a relief to get this one in). The dry ice rolls across the stage like only a few other bands, such as the sisters of Mercy or the Bunnymen, engulfing the room to that of a post apocalyptic wasteland with just a dimly lit red mist as the band stride on stage to begin what was to amount to a pretty epic and mightily impressive set from Kilbride’s finest.

‘JAMCOD’ kicked off proceedings and Jim proceeded to remove his customary leather jacket due to it being one of the hottest days of the year and in a venue that seemed bereft of oxygen and even the gentlest of breezes but this didn’t stop the band smashing through songs like there was no tomorrow with merely silhoueted shadows on the stage with William swaying in front of his customary Orange wall of amplifiers as Jim holds onto his mic and stand like he’d fall over if it wasn’t there. The sound is clear and throbbing to the huge chords in the break before the second verse. Superb start as we were all hoping to OD on JAMC.

Like a fine wine, The Brothers Reid have matured and aged well sure they’re not the same band who kicked off all those years ago with a fire in their bellies and without a care in the world just a love of Garage rock n roll, art and creating some dark, bleak yet light and warm music that has most defiantly stood the test of time ably assisted currently by Mark, Scott and Justin. If anything, songs off the first album and EP (‘Psycho Candy’) have aged superbly well, but that’s for later in the set. The band’s most recent offering, ‘Glasgow Eyes’, is well represented, as is my personal favourite album, ‘Darklands’. To be fair, the set list is well designed and delivered impeccably, building to a glorious crescendo on the encore.

I’m presuming Jim is enjoying himself because he’s loosened up by removing the jacket, and the rest of the band sound amazing and right on it. ‘Head On’ was like a rabid barking dog, and from the awesome ‘Sidewalking’, it was glorious and possibly the best I’ve ever heard them. Connie from the support band Borrowed Atlas joined the band on stage for ‘Sometimes Always’ and a majestic ‘Just Like Honey’.

For the encore, it was a hat-trick of the impeccable guitar pop of ‘Darklands’, followed by ‘Taste Of Cindy’, and to bring a halt to proceedings and leave nobody in any doubt that they are still the masters of their craft and nobody has done the shoegazing pop noise better. Even when they left the field for hiatuses, their shoes couldn’t be filled and ‘Reverence’ was the perfect full stop to a pretty spectacular warm-up. It seems mad to think on this evidence, they even need to warm up. This was a blazing show of noisy guitar pop perfection. They can be as arrogant as they like, they always maintained how damn good they are and on this evidence it seems time has proven them right. Stunning performance. So until next time gents, nos da.

Saxon – ‘Eagles Over Hellfest’ (MILITIA GUARD MUSIC)

Saxon – ‘Eagles Over Hellfest’ (MILITIA GUARD MUSIC)

The mighty Saxon continues their journey as one of the UK’s most well-known metal bands. Their output still comes thick and fast, but never compromising on quality. They know what their rabid fan base wants and deliver every time. They are still a formidable live act even though original member Paul Quinn decided to step down recently. Never fear, though; Diamond Head founder Brian Tatler stepped up and is a fantastic addition.

Eagles Over Hellfest is an epic documentation of Saxon’s blistering performance at Hellfest in France last year. The band smash out a set of classics and material from their latest LP Hell, Fire and Damnation. With a career as long as Saxon has enjoyed, picking a set of material must be a task. Everything you would expect to hear at a Saxon show is here: ‘Motorcycle Man’, ‘Power and the Glory’, ‘Heavy Metal Thunder’, ‘Dallas 1PM’, ‘The Eagle Has Landed’, ‘Strong Arm of the Law’ all sound incredible. The new tracks sound great too, we have the title track from Hell, Fire and Damnation and Madame Guillotine.

The band are on fire as always, but Biff Byford sounds better than ever; he’s constantly whipping up the crowd to a frenzy and has them in the palm of his hand. He’s singing better than people half his age.

A special shout out must go to drummer Nigel Glockler too. His playing is exemplary, a showcase in heavy metal drumming. Simply brilliant. Doug Scarratt plays his arse of too and even though I can’t see bass player Nibs Carter while listening to the album, I can picture him going crazy and constantly banging his head in my minds eye!

The album blasts through blistering versions of And the Bands Played On, Denim and Leather, Wheels of Steel, 747 (Strangers in the Night), Crusader, and finishes off with the legendary ‘Princess of the Night’. Crystal clear production from Biff makes you feel like you were there at Hellfest, singing along.

Saxon shows us yet again why they are a constant in the lives of metal fans all over the world and have influenced so many.  

Fill your heads with Heavy Metal Thunder!!

BRAZILIAN PUNKS FANTAZMAZ ANNOUNCE DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM

BRAZILIAN PUNKS FANTAZMAZ ANNOUNCE DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM

BRAZILIAN PUNKS FANTAZMAZ ANNOUNCE DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM DUE FOR RELEASE JULY 4TH VIA GHETTO BITCH RECORDS

PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE:

BLAST OUT THE 30 SECOND NEW SINGLE ‘DEAD ON THE WAY HOME’ HERE:

With an incendiary live show that’s chaotic, loud and in-your-face, FANTAZMAZ—Brazil’s fiercest new punk rock export—are about to drop a nuclear bomb. On July 4th comes their debut self-titled album, marking the beginning of what’s set to be a killer year for the band.

Formed in 2019 by frontwoman Thami and guitarist Raf Oliver, Fantazmaz found their raw, unrelenting sound with the addition of bassist Chokito and former U.K. Subs drummer Jamie Oliver. Blending blistering punk energy with a fearless stage presence, they’ve quickly built a reputation for their no-holds-barred performances.

Now based in the U.K., Fantazmaz are gearing up for a wild summer, hitting Rebellion Festival and a string of European shows before heading back to their homeland of Brazil for a run of explosive gigs. With their debut album on the horizon and a relentless tour schedule ahead, Fantazmaz are poised to make their mark in a very big way.

“The album is angry and frustrated, pretty much because we don’t see a future,” explains Thami. “Chances are slim that we’re getting out of this global mess, and honestly, we don’t care much about explaining why. It’s right there for everyone to see. That’s the sentiment — listen to the album.

“We recorded the whole thing in two days at Monolith Studio. It was straightforward and honest — first day for drums, second day for guitars, bass, and vocals. The songs had been written for a while, and we just thought, why the hell not drop a full album? So, we went in and laid it down, raw and real. This is our first full album, and we’re bloody excited for it to finally come out.”

Fantazmaz launched the album with the track ‘Dead On The Way Home’. At only thirty seconds long, it’s the perfect introduction to the album’s unbridled rage and fury. The song was inspired by a news report from Brazil about a group of young people mistakenly shot dead on their way back from a night out, which is sadly not an isolated case. The anger and frustration led to the idea of a 30-second track repeating: “Got shot dead on their way home.”

Watch the video for ‘Dead On The Way Home’ HERE:

A short, sharp shock to the system, the album is crammed full of anger and energy, ranging from the 80s hardcore attack of ‘Scars Of Downtown’ (“about the loneliness of living in a metropolis like London, seen from a darker perspective,”) to the Dead Kennedys/Jello Biafra inspired ‘Corporate Behave’ (“dedicated to everyone sticking it to the capitalist rulebook,”). But Fantazmaz are no one-trick punk rock pony, the album is brimming with unique and fresh ideas. Album closer ‘Just Before Hell Comes Around’ bristles with dark hip hop beats, whilst ‘Are You Enjoying The Peaceful Skies?’ is fuelled by a decadent/bastard bossa nova, inspired by Chico Buarque’s epic song ‘Construção’. 

And best of all, this is just the beginning. 2025 is going to be a very busy year for Fantazmaz. Hold on tight.

ORDER ‘CVRSES’ HERE:

Celebrating the release of their brand-new and critically acclaimed album ‘Cvrses’, out now via Dark Riders/Cargo Distribution, Sheffield riff masters Black Spiders are keeping the party going with new single ‘Up All Night’.

“It’s an ode to Renfield, Dracula’s batman and an allegory for the RnR lifestyle, where there’s only one version of 3 o’clock,” says guitarist and vocalist Pete Spiby as the band set course on another vital, stomping, harmony laden rock monster.

Recorded once again at Axis Studios in Doncaster with producer Matt Ellis behind the wheel, ‘Cvrses’ is, and of course all bands say this, very possibly their best album yet. It successfully distils everything that is thrilling and life-affirming about Black Spiders unique brand of thumping heaviness. Massive riffs, massive hooks, massive beats. It’s all massive.

Always a thrilling and cathartic rock n ’roll experience live on stage, Black Spiders have set up another UK tour to commence in June. Following their dates with Australian rockers Airbourne, the band will embark, buckets and spades in hand, on a seaside venues tour of England’s finest coastal venues.

“We always like to play somewhere different, and a lot of these smaller grassroots venues don’t get a look in on the touring circuit, so we thought why not?” says Pete. “It’s gonna be a week of beer vs ice cream…”

Midnight – ‘Steel Rust And Disgust’ (Metal Blade Records)

Midnight – ‘Steel Rust And Disgust’ (Metal Blade Records)

Anyone who knows the modern metal scene probably already recognises that Cleveland’s Midnight are the closest thing we have today to the classic punk metal blitzkrieg of Motorhead, Venom, Tank and Warfare. That main man Athenar should follow up the band’s incendiary 2024 ‘Hellish Expectations’ album with an album chock full of covers, and it does not feature a single track by any of those bands, though, had all of us at RPM towers scratching our heads. I mean, maybe we’d got Midnight’s influences all wrong after all. Then, I got to do some (grave) digging….

Originally conceived as ‘Throw Ups’, in homage to David Bowie’s very own album of covers ‘Pin Ups’, before then being retitled as ‘Steel Rust And Disgust’ to fit in with the band’s previously named six syllable back catalogue. This is a twelve-track album that brings together ten covers of songs written by bands who shared the same sights, sounds, and sewage as Athenar’s region of birth so hence why there are no British bands, adding in a couple of new Midnight cuts.

The first of these newbies is ‘Cleveland Metal’ a track that hammers home not only the record’s purpose but also proves why no one betters Midnight when it comes to writing three-minute blasts of pure punk metal…no one, and that’s a fucking fact.

The other new cut on offer is the album’s title track, ‘Steel Rust And Disgust’ and this beast is more of a pounding red hot slab of molten black rock ‘n’ roll. It’s classic Midnight, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

It’s when we get to the cover versions that things get really interesting though as whilst (like me) you may be aware of the likes of ‘Final Solution’ (originally by Rocket From The Tombs), ‘3rd Generation Nation’ (originally by The Dead Boys) and  ‘Frenzy’ (originally by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins) what you have yet to hear is the total pummelling these tunes get in the hands of Athenar, the later in particular being delivered with the type of frenzied reverence that Lemmy used to have for the old classics.

Of the less familiar tunes on offer, take your pick from ‘Child Eaters’ (originally by Rubber City Rebels), ‘Iron Beast’ (originally by Kratos) or ‘Rock N Roll Fever’ (originally by David Allan Coe) with which to start your journey into a whole new world of great rock music. Of course, they are all given the compulsory Midnight mauling, but nonetheless, they are all made to sound like songs Athenar himself could have written, and that for me is the art of doing a great cover version, making it your own. 

Which just leaves me with ‘I’m Insane’ (originally by Synastryche) where I must admit I really was hoping for a cover of the Ratt classic of the same name (if only they were from Cleveland), the VoiVod-esque ‘Carrions Keep’ (originally by False Hope) plus the short sharp shocks of ‘Black Leather Rock’ and ‘Agitated’ (originally by Electric Eels) to round things off in truly chaotic fashion.

At times, cover albums can be something of a hit or miss affair (I mean, just look at ‘Pin Ups’), but ‘Steel Rust And Disgust’ is 100% underground hit after muthafuckin’ hit. BUY IT!!!!!
