So many good bands at this fest, highly recommend you going if you were looking for something to do in October!

This is really sad. Just incase there are 279 people who're are waiting to buy tickets, or waiting for their band to get booked, or they think there'll be a way to blag it in on the day, I'm just letting you know now, none of those things will be an option. You have a chance right now to help something really cool happen, so let's pull together and make it happen. If you're playing and haven't been promoting, now would be a great time to start.

Cheers!

Hello! During Covid I decided to start a punk distro, and somehow I’ve been doing it for a year now. To celebrate one year of my finances going down the bog, this really cool gig is happening. All three bands are special, but Cool Jerks are something else… probably the best band I saw last year, and I saw Discharge last year too!

Come on down if you’re about. I’ll probably post the link in the comments to prevent this post from being eaten up by the algorithm.

Cheers
