We’re nearing the end of the year. It’s been a mixed bag.
2017 is set to begin in style when British punk-pop band As The Sun Sleeps release their new EP in January. It’s one of the best things to come out of the genre in a very long time, equal to classics from early blink-182 and Sum 41. If you can’t wait until the EP release, check out the new video for lead track ‘Beering’. It’s a really catchy track and a good indicator of the quality of the EP.

GLENN ROBINSON – Everything Is Stupid EP
Glenn Robinson’s 2013 full length ‘Modern Mistakes’ was a great release. Packed with punky riffs, hooky choruses and a touch of new-wave sassiness, its ten songs zipped past in an “all killer no filler” fashion, representing the very best the style has to offer. This three track EP – issued as a stop-gap release before his next long player – presents three previously unreleased tracks of a similarly high quality.
