Punk and Disorderly 2025
A weekend of sweaty rooms, old friends, new bands, good tunes, hangovers, merch, and enough punk energy to keep Skegness moving. From The Puncturists kicking things off to Criminal Damage, Tear Up, Critical Candy, Zero Tolerance, and Broken Three Ways, Punk and Disorderly 2025 proves that the smaller punk weekender is still very much alive. Best part: discovering bands you’ve never heard before, dancing with people you’ve known for years, making new friends, and keeping the scene going. Use them or lose them.
Punk Isn’t Dead, You’re Looking in the Wrong Places.
Forget the arguments over who invented punk, what counts as punk, and which bands get to wear the label. Punk has never needed permission, and it certainly isn't interested in retirement. From Variants to SNM to Healthy Junkies, three generations of bands prove that the scene is still loud, restless, collaborative, and very much alive.
TV Smith: Still Saying It Right & Doing It Right
TV Smith isn’t slowing down. With a new album taking shape between gigs, a 2026 tour packed with solo shows and Adverts classics, and a stop at London’s legendary 100 Club, the punk poet is still putting in the miles and still giving us plenty to say about.
Feel the Up: Black Gold Sun on Community, Catharsis, and Saying Goodbye to Bottom of the Hill
Black Gold Sun’s Veronica and Anita are a band rooted in community, catharsis, chosen family, and the radical idea that you should leave a show feeling better than when you walked in. Ahead of their bittersweet September 9th show at Bottom of the Hill, they talk about punk's DIY spirit and the history that brought them here. Their new EP is a time capsule of this moment, but the message is timeless: rage, scream, rock, feel the up, and bring everybody with you. Featuring a sneak peak at their new video.
Bitch, Please: Age Inappropriate
“Body fascism.” maybe an internet buzz term but it’s not new. From toddler panties for women to makeup kits in the toy aisle, men in charge want women to think they have to be smaller, younger, and subservient. It’s so much easier to control things when people feel insecure, and the industry has been perfecting the trick for generations. Don’t buy the products; don’t let yourself disappear.
Get Off the Internet and Into the Pit with Mr. Dinkles
Mr. Dinkles’ Mac musical upbringing spans church, folk, and rock; she’s carved out a voice that’s equal parts personal release and pointed commentary. For her, punk isn’t a genre; it’s shaped by honesty, community, and the willingness to say something that might cost you. At a time when so much energy gets lost online, her music pulls people back into the room: sweaty, loud, and fully present.
