Neck Deep – ‘Wishful Thinking’

Neck Deep have had their fair share of criticisms to handle. They initially encountered accusations of being just a copycat band riding the wave of The Story So Far, accused of cashing in on a genre which was obviously prevailing within the punk scene at the time, but

November Is For Friends – ‘Subject: To Change’

Lo-fi is a tightrope. While some can master and harness its audible nonchalance, far more commonly it is used (with varying levels of success) as a mask for musical ineptitude. Falling hard into the second camp, ‘Subject: To Change’ is the debut release from Philadelphia’s November Is For Friends,

Punk Goes… Christmas

For those of us who don’t work in retail, Christmas songs trigger intense feelings of nostalgia and a longing for the festive season to instantly arrive. Clearly, some people were under the impression that Christmas was missing something. These are the same people who decided that Punk should go
