PINS ‘Aggrophobe (feat. Iggy Pop)’ Video

We have been raving about Manchester-based punk band PINS for a little while now. With a sound energetic and full of life, the foursome have shared the video for their latest Iggy Pop collaboration track 'Aggrophobe'. Stylishly directed by Olivier Richomme, the video finds the girls fashionably dressed whilst doing random things backstage in the midst of waiting to come out and perform on stage. Without knowing, the crowd is impatiently getting fed up after sitting through a number of bad acts.

Wire Make Their Return with ‘Short Elevated Period’

Some of the top rock bands spanning the past thirties years will openly mentioned that they were inspired by Wire. Having played an integral part in the development of post-punk, the group is currently celebrating 40 years since their first performance. This is also manifested with the release of their fifteenth studio album 'Silver/Lead', scheduled to land March 31 via pinkflag. Kicking off the upcoming LP is their latest single 'Short Elevated Period'. Pushed by revving guitars, the song grabs bits of golden era punk whilst simultaneously keeping the sound up to the modern times with no intentions on being a throwback piece.

Top Pick: Batz ‘Darlin”

Australian band Batz are hands down one of our fave groups from the land down under. We were supporters of the five-piece before their debut EP and of course by the time they released their killer record 'Night Terrors', the Melbourne-based band did not disappoint in any shape, form or fashion. With a blend of punk, garage, indie and more, Batz can do no wrong in our eyes at the moment. Now back with a new song titled 'Darlin'', the indie/post-punk bit finds the crew bridging the energy of their raw sound of the past with more even polished production, making this one another top-rated and insanely addicting release.
