It’s repeated throughout the album: Saturday 23 June 2007 Gorilla Biscuits add Leeds date The Seminal U.S hardcore outfit have added a Leeds date to their UK mini tour. Currently known dates: 9th October – Leeds, Joseph’s Well 10th October – Glasgow King Tuts 11th October – London Mean Fiddler 12th October – Manchester Academy 3 The Dauntless Elite – Graft There’s no doing things by halves in the Leeds punk rock scene. And The Dauntless Elite have worked hard to establish themselves not only on that stage, but considerably further afield, partly thanks to their work appearing on Plan-it-X records. TDA are what you get Monday 28 May 2007 The Orangeburg Massacre – Moorea I was delving through my ‘to review’ pile and shoved Moorea into my computer purely because of the artwork. The penned image is very clichéd but I quite like the washed out look of the orange. Oh, they’ve got that in their name, haven’t they. Clever, that. Thursday 17 May 2007 The Measure [SA] – Historical Fiction Well, this is all very jangly, I must say. In fact, it’s jangly punk with occasional handclaps – a winning combination in many books.

Sunday 22 April 2007 Fastlane – Overdrive To be perfectly honest, I think Fastlane perfectly illustrate the challenge that UK bands face when attempting to ‘go big’. The band had a slew of great reviews for their first album, bagged a good share of support slots to huge artists (New Found Glory, Tuesday 03 April 2007 Day of Rising – Unmasking St Minver Right. You know the drill. Me being a Punktastic writer biases me towards Punktastic Recordings acts, yadda, yadda, I don’t give a crap. I write what I honestly think, end of. For a start, you’ve got to give credit to Day of Rising. They packed their bags and Saturday 31 March 2007 Midget is close Midget & Giant have new track ‘Close Closer’ up for streaming.
