Post your bands!
Oi oi! There’s 1100 people following this sub now, but it’s mostly just me sharing gigs because I’m a poster nerd!
How about everyone who’s in a band, posts a link to their band so we can all give each other a listen, a like and a follow and get a bit of a thing going? If there’s enough decent small uk punk bands about, I might reopen my shitty label and do another release!
So here’s my band, https://linktr.ee/theallergics let’s hear yours!

UK Punk, new beginnings...
Hi, you 52 UK punks. I'm Jim, I'm the unanimously elected (by 4 votes!) mod.
this subreddit has been a bit dead for ages, I'd like to try and change that, I know there's plenty of punks out there, and though a lot aren't on reddit, we need to find those that are.
I'm wary of spamming up the page with loads of posts... Im going to post more, but you guys need to post stuff too. I need decent music, I need to know good venues, support slots available, stuff going on to keep this scene burning. At the moment, the hot topic is venues in distress, there's links to two venues close to my heart below, Boom! sell some wicked T-shirts, so maybe get yourself one and support independent venues.
When I know about gigs that are actually happening I'll post up, please do the same
The Boulevard is seriously in need of your help. One of he very best alternative venues in the North West. Please help keep them alive.

f you would like to help save our venue and you are in a position to do so; please donate to our Crowdfunder. We have only managed to get to this stage from your help so far. It really does make a difference. Be sure when this is all over - we will do something special for you.

Where is your goto place for ethically sourced clothes?
Bonus points for bricks and mortar becuse I have a funny shape so I need to try them on first. Charity shops get ransacked by resellers and they have more time off work than me. Also used socks and gym clothes are kind of gross. I just want a reliable source for plant based plastic free undies which don't keep anyone in poverty

Anyone Heard of "The Local"
Found this YouTube channel today.
There's some good interviews in here, but it doesn't have a lot of views overall. Has anyone else watched these, I've only watched a couple they seem pretty interesting.

Gogol Bordello @ Southampton 1865, A Review
This was the most excited I have been for a gig for some time. Gogol Bordello have been on my bucket list to see for about 15 years, and something had always stopped me from seeing them any time they have been over. I finally caught them yesterday, and (spoilers) it was worth it.
Split Dogs in support - really enjoyable overall, awesome riffs at a breakneck speed, they oozed charisma and style. Fun to watch. I wasn't mad keen on the singer's voice, but I was alone in that opinion.
Gogol Bordello - a slow start with 'Ignition', and this would become a pattern, the crowd didn't seem to go for the new songs, which was a shame for me, because I love the new album. The three that followed - 'I would never wanna be young again', 'Not a Crime' and 'Wanderlust King' breathed life into the room. 'Wanderlust' in particular was the highlight for me, it's one of my favourite songs of all time, and the buzz was incredible - the crowd sang and danced along with gusto. They followed with a bit of a breather in 'My Campanjera' and 'Dance Around a Fire', before the crowd jumped along as more musicians joined for 'From Boyarka to Boyaca' - the best received new song of the night. 'Immigraniada' was a singalong with hands raised, before 'We Mean It, Man!' and 'Life Is Possible Again' - muted from the crowd, but I loved both. Mishto! came before 'No Time For Idiots'. Any song that starts with "You might be Socrates, or you might be Confucius" is a winner for me. "Start Wearing Purple" was the one everyone was waiting for, and the crowd took to it with riotous enthusiasm.
After a break, frontman Eugene came out alone to start 'Alcohol', and the other seven members joined one by one throughout the song, which was a remarkable thing to witness. 'Pala Tute' came before the storming finale - "Think Locally, Fuck Globally", which gave us the most riotous pit of the evening, right at the end, before the band walked off stage to 'Redemption Song' as performed by Joe Strummer, leaving me feeling like I'd jumped in the sea. What a band, what a night, what a performance. Easily in the top five of live bands I have seen.
The Venue - Lovely, big with an intimate feeling. Balcony available for those who want a more chilled experience.
The Vibes - Great. The crowd was warm and friendly, and all ages. I wish we'd had more energy for the new songs, though.
The Criticism - No "Through the Roof 'n' Underground. I love 'Wristcutters: A Love Story' and really wanted to see that one live. If you haven't seen it, you should - it's on Youtube - it will stay with you for a long time.

How was this album received at release?
I’ve never even been to England. From South America but was living in California when this was released and I loved this album. Just curious how it was received by the scene in England (or even in London). I know nothing about the band or its members other than this album.
