Essex punks Giants are heading into the studio and they need your help! Having spent a few years on a DIY scene, they’ve decided to crowd fund their next recording. You can read all about it in the full press release laid out below.
Giants also have a few gigs coming up before xmas:
Frank Turner is one of those artists who just never stops working. If he’s not recording a new album, he’s touring. If he’s not touring, he’s recording radio sessions. If he’s not recording radio sessions, he’s touring. If he’s not touring, he’s recording extra material for b-sides or stand-alone EPs. It’s no wonder that his solo career has spawned compilation discs of album length every three years. This traditional taking stock resulted in a third compilation – predictably titled ‘The Third Three Years’ – in the autumn of 2014. While this particular instalment of FT’s extra-curricular recordings is, perhaps, a little more reliant on covers and live/session material than the previous two anthologies, the twenty one track disc brings plenty of enjoyable material for the Turner fan.
Ten years on from the release of their debut LP and some seven hundred live shows later, Chicago punkers Voice of Addiction show absolutely no sign of getting stale on their sixth release ‘Modern Day Meltdown’. Its four songs showcase a tough musical style and some rousing choruses, as well as stretching a punky base to allow for a few broader sounding musical passages along the way. There’s absolutely no indifference within the ranks here; Voice of Addiction set out to grab their listeners from the very first notes…and then keep them.
Legendary US skate punks Pennywise are back on the road in January, playing shows across the US in support of their 2014 release ‘Yesterdays’.
All confirmed shows are listed below. Suppoert comes from Anti-Flag and A Wilhelm Scream. There are no plans for the band to visit Europe at this time.
US punkers (The) Dwarves are playing a short run of dates in the US at the end of November. Most dates include support from legendary Ramonescore band The Queers, with the Chicago show also featuring a set from Screeching Weasel.
