Phil Solem: Chuck Berry, Punk Rock, and a World Anthem
In this Q&A, Phil Solem talks Chuck Berry, his friendship and musical collaboration with the late Joey Molland, and the long, somewhat under-the-radar history of his band T.H.R.U.S.H. He also pulls back the curtain on writing the iconic Friends theme and illuminates the inspiration behind his politically charged song "Where Do We Go From Here?" From rock 'n' roll roots to a call for something bigger than national anthems, Solem has plenty to say and a few projects still up his sleeve.
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.

It’s Time to play Hookie to go See Hook!
Peter Hook & The Light are taking Get Ready back on the road in 2026, performing the New Order album in full alongside essential Joy Division and New Order tracks. But if you think this is just another nostalgia tour, think again! The Light has turned this catalog into something far more intense: a full-body, emotional, borderline spiritual experience. Those unmistakable Hooky basslines, the darkness of Joy Division, and the sheer force of the band live have a way of converting even the skeptics.
Punk Rock Holiday: A Celebration of Friends You Haven’t Met Yet
