POWERSOLO (DK) – Donkey Punk on tour

POWERSOLO is a rock and roll band which formed in 1996 in Aarhus, Denmark by Vocalist/Guitarist Kim “Kix” Jeppesen. Their sound- termed by the band as “Donkey Punk” is characterized by an often frantic and raucous blend of Garage, Punk, Psychobilly, Surf, and World Music. Never a band to be put into one box, these influences bounce back-and-forth on every record, displaying the groups versatility, whilst still always carrying a retro-rock vibe to all of their compositions. Ace!

Sham 69 (Tim V) are doing it again

Sham 69 has a new album out called ‘THE SUBTLE ACT OF VIOLENCE’. The album songs reflect the changes not only in society but also in the scene in general. A swath of political insanity both on the streets and in the halls of power. A reflection of our lives as we get older and of all those we have loved and lost over the years. The world has always sat on the edge of doom and now its closer to the edge and the band have placed this view on wax and CD and for the modernists ‘download’.
The band was formed in 1975, and with hits such as BORSTAL BREAKOUT and HEY LITTLE RICH BOY being performed in 76-77, the band went on to have others such as HURRY UP HARRY, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES and the anthem IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED.
The band had many line up changes but the most notable was Jimmy Pursey’s departure following his sacking in 2006, in which he was immediately replaced by the now vocalist Tim V.
With over 12 line up changes since Punk pundits worldwide have sited this change to be the best yet with the sincerest force since the days of 77 Punk.
So this is SHAM 69 now and though many have scoffed at their existence they have come to regret it having been overwhelmed by the power of the performance.

Lombego Surfers – on a mission!

Trends often wash new bands to the shore only to drown them again with the next wave. But not The Lombego Surfers. Since 1989 the three rockers from Boston and Basel have sailed through Europe. They have never been bothered with current trends, following only the Jolly Roger flags painted on their bones by Dirk Bonsma. There often is no gold where they land. A cask of rum, whisky or beer is reason enough for the trio to start a hearty surfnroll mutiny.
Armed with guitar, bass and drums they grapple every place, from cities to the country, for which reason the press has recently called them -legends of passion- or -The Gods of the underground-. Ooohh, spooky – but not unmerited. In times when other cult bands like Dead Moon strike sail, the Lombegos mission becomes ever more important: keep it real and stripped down to the bones!

The Turbo ACs (USA) are back with a brand new 12″ Maxi Single!

The wonderful Turbo ACs are back in Europe! After celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2003 album “Automatic” in 2024 and the release of a special edition of this album (Concrete Jungle Rec), Kevin and Co can not wait to get started again, and an extensive fall tour in 2025 comes at just the right time.
Founded in the early 90s, it all started in the streets of New York City, where THE TURBO A.C.’s created their own surf punk sound right from the start. Numerous EPs and sampler contributions on various labels followed before they made big waves, especially in Europe, with their debut album “Damnation Overdrive” in 1996, which was released on the New York record label Blackout! Records.
With the unmistakable voice of frontman Kevin Cole and elements of Dick Dale, Ramones, Misfits and Motörhead, they have been chosen as the favorite band of many rock and roll fans. A really cool band with really cool songs, lyrics and an attitude to fall in love with.
A new 12” Maxi Single called “Unchained” will be released for the upcoming tour.
