The Turbo ACs (USA) celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album “Automatic”!

The Turbo ACs are back in Europe! And this time the band will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2003 album “Automatic,” which was produced by Blag Dahlia of the Dwarves. To mark this occasion, Concrete Jungle Records released a special remastered edition of this album on April 26, 2024.
The Turbo ACs was formed in the shabby alleys of New York City at the beginning of the 1990s. After releasing numerous EPs and sampler contributions on various labels, their debut album “Damnation Overdrive” came out in 1996 on the New York record label Blackout! Records and made big waves, especially in Europe. 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.

GUITAR GANGSTERS from London

Following Guitar Gangsters’ 35 the anniversary in 2023, the next chapter of the bands history is about to be written. 11 album releases and tours in 28 countries just isn’t enough! Guitar Gangsters continue to produce stunning live shows and new releases which remain true to their melodic punk roots – slices of suburban life, failed love, failed ambition and social politics packed into three- minute power punk gems.
In 2019 this London three piece became a four piece with the addition of Ed Sonsino on guitar – the big sound got even bigger! In a post pandemic 2022, Guitar Gangsters made a return with the release of their 11th studio album, “Fortune Favours The Brave” and gigged throughout 2022 in UK and Europe. 2024 sees the release of the vinyl EP “The Faithful”, the title track for which is a salute to all those that have found punk to be the place where they belong. To mark the 35th anniversary of the release of the band’s first album “Prohibition”, a new vinyl live studio session performance will be released in May.
Guitar Gangsters will always stick proudly to their inspirational punk rock guns with more than just a hint of rock’n’roll attitude. With a formidable back catalogue and a swagger that is only achieved through years of experience, there’s never been a better time to see this band live and to be part of the next chapter.

THE AVENGERS from San Francisco

In the late ’70s, The Avengers burst out of San Francisco, establishing themselves as one of the US’s preeminent punk bands. Their live shows were legendary, playing up and down the West Coast and even blowing Sex Pistols off the stage at the latter’s final performance.
The Pink Album remains The Avengers’ definitive statement – collecting their classic Dangerhouse EP, sessions recorded with the Pistols’ Steve Jones and a half-dozen revelatory demos. While much has been written about The Avengers in the past three decades, rock critic Greil Marcus puts it succinctly, “The word I always come back to is mystical, and that remains almost theirs alone.” “The most powerful band in San Francisco, and America’s best straight-ahead punk band.” –

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!
