Here we are pretending we've had a #rehearsal recently!
From a couple of weeks ago but despite our #newalbum 'Inevitable Machete' being stacked full of songs you've barely heard or nor heard at all, out on 31st Oct btw. We're cooking up even newer material than that.
You can thank us later! #punk

In the summer we had the pleasure of playing Blyth Power Ashes&fielded 3 players for their annual #Cricket match.
Following on from Simon's "catch of the match" here's a little glimpse of what our humanities department get up to in their free time!
"One in the eye for the rhythm section"! 😂 #diypunk

A super night at Jam Circus Deptford to see @tantrumzentrum.bsky.social , Tvashtar & Shining Tongues on Krautpunk 2025 tour. And good to see 60% of @ritesofhadda.bsky.social too!

Tvashtar - with an illuminated sign telling you so.

A positive gallery of photos from Pouru from our stint at the The Water Rats for the Punk 'n' Roll Rendezvous a couple of weeks ago!

Seeing these reminded us what a bloody good weekend that was. Thanks again for having us and to Pouru for memoralising the evening!

We're heading back up north to #Bolton 's best boozer - Alma Inn in January!

We've had a couple of smashing #gigs there in the past. Hope to see some of our northern comrades for this one too!

Looking forward to catching Queer of Hearts and R.P.C who we've not seen before too. #punk #diypunk

WE LOVE TO SEE IT!
Calling this fan art would be doing Luna a disservice as it's actually a page from their Fashion Degree final collection mood board where they are looking at punk fashion.
Wasp is to be interviewed on their inspiration and use of costume for this final piece-looking forward to it!
