⚡️ MURDERBURGERS LIVE NEXT WEEK ⚡️

⚡️ The Murderburgers - The Murderburgers are a high-energy melodic three piece pop-punk band from Scotland. Formed in 2007 by lead vocalist and guitarist Fraser, The Murderburgers grew from gobby Ramones-esque young punks into arguably Scotland’s finest ever punk rock export.

⚡️ Burnt Tapes
London’s regret-fuelled punk outfit Burnt Tapes return with their second album New Lungs (Lockjaw Records), delivering soaring anthems, driving guitar work, and raw, cathartic vocals. Drawing comparisons to bands like Basement, The Menzingers, and Spanish Love Songs, the band have carved out a sound that’s both massive and deeply personal.

⚡️ Shackleford
Melodic and introspective punk rock from the Heartlands (Nuneaton) with sh*tloads of harmonies!

⚡️ Resuscitators
Melodic 'Dad-Punk' band from south London playing hard-hitting basslines alongside melodic guitar groove!
