  • LONDON CELTIC PUNKS PRESENTS OUR BEST OF 2015!

    One of the best things about doing this here blog-zine is the end of year ‘Best Of’s’.

  • ALBUM REVIEW: SIGELPA- ‘TerraMorta’ (2014)

    Sigelpa is a band from Terrassa in the Barcelona region of Catalonia that mixes up punk, hardcore and good old fashioned Irish folk music. Everything about the band is pretty amazing right down to their extremely clever name. Its a acronym of the initials of the seven deadly sins in Catalonian. Superbia/ Pride, Ira/ Wrath,…

  • ALBUM REVIEW: THE DRINK HUNTERS- ‘Lurking Behind The Woods’ (2014)

    This is the second album from Catalonian band The Drink Hunters.  Formed in Barcelona in 2008 they previously self-released ‘With My Crew’ on a shoestring budget in 2011 and now ‘Lurking Behind The Woods’ lands on our doorsteps and, as is always the big question with second albums, how does it rate to that excellent first album?
