Would rather they got Kneecap back out than have to sit through this
Would rather they got Kneecap back out than have to sit through thisRod sounds fucking horrendous but he does look good for 80
He's quality. Im a big fan.Took the Mrs to see Simply Red in 2023 as she ended up down a Simply Red rabbit hole on Spotify. It was actually very good.
I’m of an age where I just laugh at the kids thinking they’ve discovered a new thingTurnstile are pretty good if you like punk. The crowd are going mental

Very ironic given your so called humorous japes seem to only attract the imbecile PVA
Let’s be honest if your journalist “career” has as many people interested in you as there are on here then the Basildon is probably hyperbole
Which is still one more like than your side splitting Basildon joke.
I wasn’t talking to you? Why do you need to answer on his behalf?
They’re a hardcore band; thats how they started at least. I don’t think they’ve ever set out to do anything “new”; just a version of the music they enjoy. They are very much leaning into the commercial aspect of what they used to do (knowingly). The new guitarist is a lass from the UK that had been playing in bands over here for ages and the whole band are pretty authentic, so can fully see the appeal.I’m of an age where I just laugh at the kids thinking they’ve discovered a new thing
Can’t decide if they’re great or a commercialised version of what I used to listen.
Is quite comical the number of comments I’ve seen about people ‘living in the moment’ at their gigs and not watching through their phones.
Because you mentioned my name you fucking clown.
And you constantly reply to posts that aren't addressed to you, there is no rule against it as far as I'm aware.
Well obviously they're a hardcore band but I just mean their sound is more commercial than the likes of Sick of it All, Cro-Mags etc. But I'm very aware of not being that Pistols fan from the 70s hating Green Day, Rancid, Offspring etc because they've sold out and aren't real punkThey’re a hardcore band; thats how they started at least.

Yeah the production is insanely glossy, particularly on their newest records, but I definitely think that’s a decision based on where they’re at now!Well obviously they're a hardcore band but I just mean their sound is more commercial than the likes of Sick of it All, Cro-Mags etc. But I'm very aware of not being that Pistols fan from the 70s hating Green Day, Rancid, Offspring etc because they've sold out and aren't real punk
Think I first saw them live around 10 years ago at the Asylum supporting someone, maybe Story So Far. One of those bands I've seen loads of times without ever going to see them. Always enjoy the live show but then when I listen to them on record it loses something.
Maybe the upcoming record will be the one to change that.
There's articles in the US press now about how they're going to save live music and stop venues shutting as there's now an underground punk movement. Its a nice sentiment and hopefully true but I suspect that movement has always been there, its just getting more attention now.Yeah the production is insanely glossy, particularly on their newest records, but I definitely think that’s a decision based on where they’re at now!
Not a massive fan myself, but just appreciate them being people from humble beginnings doing the rounds etc so respect the fact they earned where they are now, without trend hopping or sacrificing anything or being watery muppets like Idles.
so it sounds like we should be doing a virtual tape trade of hardcore and punk stuff here. New thread?

But as happened back in my younger days it's fucking great when the scene you're into suddenly explodes.
I think Peter and The Test Tube Babies may be a bit too hardcore. The modern punk movement is pretty pathetic.

Always great to hear from someone who knows all about the modern punk movement
I just doubt it’s quite the same...
translating as 'I have no knowledge of the subject but I'll assume it's less good than the old days!'. Fun to know the everyone's soft nowadays narrative extends to post-punk sub-genres, at least
I see where they got their name from Gouge Away is a song by Pixies , it's about the story of Sampson & Delilah.Enjoying the Turnstile chat. Not my thing but as a gateway band for kids in 2025 I love them. Representative of where they come from, really authentic and absolutely ripping when they're on it (Blackout, TLC). I'll catch them on iPlayer later, nice one for letting me know they were playing.
and if anyone likes their post-hardcore, give 'Burnt Sugar' by Gouge Away a listen.
I love Fat Dog.I enjoyed Franz set. Caught Fatdogs set by accident and quite enjoyed that despite not knowing anything about them beforehand. Looked like a good one to be at.
Shame Anthony Szmiereks set won't be filmed as it's on one of the smaller stages.
I just doubt it’s quite the same as seeing Sham 69 and The Angelic Upstarts in Brixton. The sanitised versions of all genres is pretty dull.
The fighting as skinheads decided to show up I think would lead to PTSD for the modern day lot. For the record I never really enjoyed this affront on the eardrums (Jimmy Percey did have some earthy charm but his concerts always ended early as people kicked the shit out of each other) but a couple of mates dragged me along.
I doubt bands with those anarchy beliefs would ever sign up for a cosy commercial BBC wankfest
