SNUFF

North West London 1986, Mario’s Cafe. A waitress called Silvia with sultry Mediterranean looks, a mug of tea and a fried egg sandwich spots three herberts at the table next to her, talking about their new band. She only catches the occasional word as she reads her stars and dreams of Sicily. ‘Punk Rock… Motown… Minor Threat… Miners’ Strikes… Motörhead… DC… early Who…Two-Tone… SX200… Hey ho, let’s go…’ Snuff are born.

After a long hiatus, one of the UK’s most notable punk exports, Snuff deliver a brand new full-length which has hit the streets back in 2019! The album has twelve classic tracks with horns, hooks, and catchy melodies that exemplify just why they’ve survived for over 30 years.

Tally ho. Tally ho? Yes, tally fucking ho. Snuff is back, so watch out…

THE VENOMOUS PINKS

If JOAN JETT had daughters raised on the buzzsaw guitar sounds ofJohnny Ramone… you would have The Venomous Pinks. The Arizona based, punk rock quartet are the real deal with the street cred to prove it. Having formed in 2012, the ladies have blasted their way from the garage and into the spotlight, sharing the stage with some of punk rocks finest bands, such as: Teenage Bottlerocket, Authority Zero, just to name a few. Along with playing out constantly, The Pinks have found time to hit the studio and have 4 E.p.’s under their belts as well as having their music appear on film and in compilations. 2021 proves to be a busy year for The Pinks as they will be touring extensively and we’re very happy to see that Brakrock 10y anniversary edition will be one of their stops!

THE RUMPERTS

…relentless live shows, with descriptions such as “Austria’s angriest band” being thrown around…

Without a doubt, Russ Rankin has been one of the most influential front men in punk for the last 30 years. With Good Riddance and numerous other projects, he has contributed to the agenda for the punk scene worldwide. On his solo records, Rankin continues to refine his songwriting, delving into social and political topics, as well as the melancholy underpinnings of personal love and loss. With the deftness of experience and an unflinching honesty, his songs seek to understand and embrace the inner turmoil of the human condition – with a fervent desire to champion the best in us. His brusque delivery, instantly recognizable by now, serves as a catalyst in advocating for social justice and animal rights, reaching far beyond the borders of the punk scene.It has been 9 years since his last solo album – now Russ Rankin releases his new record “Come Together, Fall Apart” with SBÄM Records, Cursed Blessings and Say-10 on January 28, 2022. With this album Russ redefines his art mixing classic acoustic punk and singer/songwriter styles with country, folklore and rock n roll tropes – with meaningful lyrics fans of Good Riddance can only expect.In March 2022 Russ will go on his release tour in Europe with the help of Destiny Tourbooking hitting Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Belgium!

What else could happen after this pandemic? A zombie invasion!? Well. No worries. You’ll be in the right company at this show. Chuck Ragan could survive a zombie apocalypse simply with a harmonica and a ‘can do” attitude. You may know Chuck as lead singer of Hot Water Music.

His bracing releases “Till Midnight” and “Flame In The Flood” once again confirms what the iconoclastic singer-songwriter’s fans have known all along: that he’s a deeply compelling songwriter and an effortlessly charismatic performer, as well as a true believer in music’s ability to illuminate and inspire.

Chris Cresswell (The Flatliners/Ca) 

Chris Cresswell has been writing and releasing music since before he was legal to drive, drink and vote. Usually found on stage with Toronto punk quartet The Flatliners, Chris has also been releasing his solo work since 2014 – beginning with Joey Cape produced debut album on One Week Records

Camping in the shade of the trees, surrounded by mountains, a meditereanean climate, 2 festival owned beaches, main stage in an avenue of trees, no barricades between bands and audience and a Beach stage on a so called paradise beach should give you the impression of how amazing this festival really is. Not only the festival offers a tasty selection of amazing bands, but also the whole relaxed atmosphere on one of the most exceptional festival locations in the world makes Punk Rock Holiday an unforgettable experience!

After his biggest tour to date was cut short due to the pandemic, Dave Hause returned home to his wife and twin boys ready for the next chapter. In 2020, he released Patty/Paddy, a double EP covering two of his favorite songwriters, Patty Griffin and Patrick “Paddy” Costello of Dillinger Four. The Patty and Paddy Eps arrived on the heels of “Your Ghost,” an acclaimed protest song written by Hause about George Floyd, police brutality and white privilege. 

Created with the help of Grammy-nominated artist Amythyst Kiah and Kam Franklin of The Suffers, the proceeds from the sale of “Your Ghost” on Bandcamp are being donated to the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund. With a career spanning two decades and soon to be five solo albums, Philly-raised punk troubadour Dave Hause carries on in the voice and tradition of classic American songwriters by tackling topics of hope, depression, global warming, a crumbling democracy and growing old. His songs have always been a quest for personal survival – about pushing through against the odds – and these complex notions weave together with a joyous sing-along cadence that creates a soundtrack for the broken American dream.

Who is LESS THAN JAKE?
That’s a legitimate question for someone who has been out of touch with the independent or punk music scene for the last quarter of a century. To some, the name may bring you back to a movie soundtrack or a video game; others are transported to a sweaty day on the Vans Warped Tour. One thing that can not be argued is that if you have experienced Less Than Jake live, it is something that you will never forget.

With well over 300 releases on various labels under their belt, most would think their legacy was in tact. But the status quo has never interested Less Than Jake. They continue to write and perform new material and have no thoughts of letting up. With the energy and exuberance of a band half its age and the determination of savvy veterans, there is seemingly no end point to this enduring and entertaining band.So who is Less Than Jake? Go see a show and find out.

THE SUICIDE MACHINES
ThaIt was in 2006 that Detroit punks The Suicide Machines called it a day after 15 years and six full-throttle, super-charged and confrontational albums. The break didn’t last too long – in 2009, the four-piece crew reconvened to play the occasional local shows and embarked on some even less frequent tours. There was no sign of new material – until now!

Old and new fans alike will find their new album Revolution Spring (Fat Wreck Chords) an energetic homage to the band’s past anthemic, hardcore, ska-punk roots, mixed with the newfound optimism and raw personal life experiences of the band. It’s good to have them back.

WONK UNIT

Bad Cop / Bad Cop (Fat Wreck Chords…)
Expect pop inflected punk, vocal harmonies with strength, connectedness and positivity reflecting through their music.
It’s been a hectic couple of years since Los Angeles punk quartet Bad Cop/Bad Cop dropped their debut full-length, Not Sorry and their second album, Warriors that’s out on Fat Wreck Chords. Warriors is an album that manages to be both fun and thoughtful. There’s a good reason for this. Many of the album’s most cathartic, aggressive moments come from the mind of co-vocalist Stacey Dee, who after being at rock bottom has come out stronger than ever. She was able to expand her horizons, writing songs as poignant as “Victoria” (about a friend’s child who committed suicide) and “Womanarchist”. They are among the first out of the gate in the punk rock Trump era and have set the bar incredibly high! CHEERS!

March
Aptly described as ‘Brody Dalle and John Coffey forming an EpiFat band’, MARCH takes bits from rock and punk to give their songs a raw edge, a catchy twist and a positive message. This Dutch/Belgian quartet’s goal: making you go harder, drive faster and shake the dust off your bones, all while painting a huge smile on your face. Combining singer Fleur’s raw voice with an overload of crispy guitar riffs and a high octane rhythm section, MARCH delivers the most intense live show this side of The Bronx. With +150 shows under their belt, the formation has become a well-oiled live machine that thrives on stage.

Three Eyed Jack
Three Eyed Jack are a skate punk/pop punk quartet from Oostkamp in Belgium. Think mid nineties skate punk meets late nineties pop punk, FFO No Use For A Name, MxPx, Good Riddance etc.
Their first release was a 10 track demo in 2011 and they followed it up with an album in 2015 titled “Always In For Happy Days”!
Let’s put on (y)our dancing shoes, drink some beer, hang and have fun. Simple as that!!!
