Emo lofi folk punk on a one sided 12" from the UK
Play of the day – War On Women

Play of the day – the return of Pardon Us
This record is just one big merry go round of smiles and punk pop anthems of community, promise and challenge. A heartfelt plea for us all to keep working together and be proud of our community.
Play of the day – Frau Blucher
Belgian punk rock with songs sung in English giving the vocals a hard edge. It’s very much dirty sounding punk rock reminding me of Vice Squad with some Motorhead riffs in there.
Play of the Day – Soakie
8 rip roaring songs with the whirlwind feel of Rudimentary Peni and an aural punk rock assault.
Play of the day – For those I love
Like a bowling ball heading through the pins of emotions 'For those I love' crashes through. It's an electronic journey with beats and feelings, interlaced with Balfe's strong Dublin accent.

Play of the day – The Radiators TV Tube Heart
This record, when it was initially released 44 years ago, was a sharp snotty and brash calling to like minded people. "I've got to make contact with you out there" they sag. They did and the contact evolved into the colour that eventually spread into the city. Punk rock and The radiators helped give young people a sense of freedom of expression and belonging and I for one am proud of its existence.
