I think any Punktastic reader who is not familiar with Sonic Boom Six has probably been living under a large rock for the last year or so. The Mancunians are one of those love/hate bands that everyone seemingly has an opinion on, with as many people

Sum 41 – Chuck

I had absolutely no preconceptions for this record whatsoever. To be honest, it had passed under my radar without so much of a blip with all the pre-press. ‘All Killer, No Filler’ was fun for what it was – a record choc-full of sillyness and hooks –
