Sham 69 with Tim V on tour!

Sham 69 with Tim V released a new album end of April 2021 called “Black Dog” (TREATMENT/ OMP). A collection of songs that are not all crash band and wallop, the band wanted to express their feelings with words and music.
The band was formed in 1975 and 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.
The band currently features along with Tim V, the bands longest serving drummer at 30 years behind the kit for SHAM 69.. Ian Whitewood.
On Lead Guitar we have Al Campbell who joined the band in 2009, he has a pristine pedigree in Punk after serving 13 years with UK SUBS and playing with both Marky Ramone and Jayne County and the Electric Chairs. On the Bass guitar we have John Woodward who was a feature on Bass in the Mod band Long Tall Shorty as well as the known Oi band The Gonads.

Lombego Surfers – new album and tour!

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 new album „The High Side“ just got released a couple of weeks ago!

RAMONAS (GB) on tour!

The Ramonas are the UK’s best tribute act to the iconic New York forerunners of punk; The Ramones.
The band began in 2004 and has since evolved into the ultimate re-creation of the 1976 spirit of the definite garage punk rock band. Known for high energy performances that thrill the audiences with all the classic songs, you better be going to see them play!

The Ramonas not only perform sets of Ramones tunes; since 2016 they have also written and released a number of self-penned albums and EP’s which include their hits First World Problems, Speak Up, The Daily Fail and more!

CYANIDE PILLS from Leeds are coming to get you!

The Cyanide Pills may just be the greatest band in the world… Four full length albums and a live 10″ plus ten 7″ singles so far, the fourth full length album just came out, on Damaged Goods again. Think of The Boys, Buzzcocks, The Briefs, Ramones and you are getting the idea.
Always hooked up with white leather jackets and candy coloured spex, these cool blokes play your favourite chewing gum and cotton candy punkrock songs with a very british snotty 1977 punk attitude that is rooted in pub-rock and glam and driven by an ultimate perfection in songwriting.
They are singing about the same social issues that plagues the world since the 1970s. And they got lots of humour too. Nothing is too serious, or maybe it is?

THE AVENGERS (USA) – in August live in Germany!

In den späten 1970er Jahren entsprangen The Avengers aus San Francisco hervor und etablierten sich als eine der herausragenden Punkbands der USA. Durch die Verschmelzung von prägnanten Gitarren-Hooks, explosiven Rhythmen und jugendlicher Giftigkeit schmiedete die Gruppe einige der auffälligsten Songs der Ära. Ihre Live-Shows waren legendär, sie spielten an der Westküste auf und ab und fegten sogar Sex Pistols bei ihrem letzten Auftritt von der Bühne.
Während in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten viel über The Avengers geschrieben wurde, bringt es der Rockkritiker Greil Marcus auf den Punkt: „Das Wort, auf das ich immer wieder zurückkomme, ist mystisch, und das bleibt fast nur ihnen vorbehalten.“
„Die mächtigste Band in San Francisco und Amerikas beste geradlinige Punkband.“ –
