Interrobang‽, an agitprop post-punk band formed in 2012 by ex-Chumbawamba lead singer Dunstan Bruce along with ex-Chumbawamba drummer Harry Hamer and ex-Regular Fries guitarist Stephen Griffin. ‘The interrobang is a combination of the question mark and the exclamation point, and is used to convey an excited question.’ ‘The interrobang is a printed punctuation mark (‽),…
A Wednesday night in Bristol, Johnny Marr with Gaz Coombes in support. A 2 hour drive followed by queuing in light rain, thanks O2 priority for putting their priority queue out in the elements, it wasn’t even a light mist really by that point really. The setlist The Encore I almost feel that I need…
I remember returning back to my student digs and my flatmate was playing this album, I hadn’t heard it at that time, somehow the radio play had passed me by but this sound didn’t! The track playing was ‘The day we caught the train’ and I was an instant fan. The band was Ocean Colour…

Playing to a sold out crowd at The Joiners, a small independent venue with a capacity of 200, with this style of music, means literally shaking the foundations of the buildings either side with every song. A setlist of structural threat! Seriously though the audience literally made the ground move, that sprung floor, well I…
This band is fan favourite, singer Ollie Baxxter thanking all for coming to see the band, it was the audience thanking them. From Virginia, USA, the latest incarnation of Broadside now consisting of Ollie Baxxter on vocals, Pat Diaz on Bass guitar, Dom Reid, on guitar and Jeff Nichols on Drums. A pop-punk outfit well…
First on of three, with a crowd that obviously knew how good the support acts are and were not going to miss out. I cannot remember when The Joiners was that busy that early. Young Culture thanked those in attendance for turning out early to support but thanks wasn’t needed, this crowd was dialled in…
It has been 34 years since I walked into Woolworths and bought ‘Unbelievable’ on CD single, followed quickly by ‘I Believe’ on CD single then Schubert Dip on Vinyl. My love for those songs has never wavered, they were at a perfect time at the start of the 90s. Support was from ‘The Dirt’ from…
