Release Rundown - High Vis, Modern Rituals, Pixies, Pulled Apart By Horses and Slipknot
Release Rundown – High Vis, Modern Rituals, Pixies, Pulled Apart By Horses and Slipknot
Words: Ben Forrester
High Vis – Blending(Dais)
Hardcore kids making Britpop? Yes please mate. London based five-some High Vis definitely turned some heads with debut LP, ’No Sense No Feeling‘, back in 2019 – a fearless mix of jangly guitars and big hooks but with a punk charge and hardcore intensity. Second album, ‘Blending’, comes in like all good second albums should, full of big hitting…

Album Review: Cherym - Take It Or Leave It (Alcopop! Records)
This trio have plenty to say on this record, and while that is so important, it doesn’t outweigh the anthemic qualities of the release overall.
Cherym are a queer pop-punk three-piece from Derry in Northern Ireland who take influence from the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, Bikini Kill, American Football, PUP and Pixies. After a handful of successful EP and single releases, the group will now release their hotly-anticipated debut album ‘Take It or Leave It’ on February 16th, 2024 via Alcopop! Records.

RobMoro TV | Lady Bird - 'Factory Fool'
Kent punk band, Lady Bird, have announced the release of their debut album ‘WE’ with lead track, ‘Factory Fool’.
‘Factory Fool’, released under the Alcopop! Records label, unequivocally showcases the trio’s sharp intellect, raw sound, and unapologetic emotional vulnerability.
The video for the track is relatively straightforward as it’s title might suggest, which adds to the angsty charm it the…

"Dozens more artists have joined a boycott of this year’s Great Escape festival, with over half the line-up demanding the festival drop their sponsorship with Barclays in solidarity with Palestine.
The Brighton-based festival is sponsored by the bank, which has been a source of controversy amid the current events in Gaza because of the bank’s financial investment in companies that supply arms to Israel.
The issue was first highlighted by a petition started by the promoter How to Catch a Pig and the band The Menstrual Cramps, and has since been signed by artists including Kneecap, Lambrini Girls, Alfie Templeman, Lip Critic, Wunderhorse and Mary in the Junkyard who have urged the festival to drop Barclays as a sponsor.
Then, Cherym pulled out of playing Great Escape due to the festival’s connection with Barclays bank before record labels Alcopop and Big Scary Monsters joined the boycott and pulled out of the festival.
Now, dozens more have joined the boycott over the controversial partnership. The latest to drop out of performing include Lambrini Girls, ZHEANI, Rett Madison, Mui Zyu, Hongza, Sarah Crean, LVRA, Ideal Living, Van Zon, COMRAD, Other Half, Cherym and Borough Council.
Speaking about their decision not to play the festival, Lambrini Girls issued a statement saying: “We will not be appearing at The Great Escape festival this year. This is a targeted approach of a cultural boycott, considering Barclays sponsorship."

With that in mind, ahead of releasing their debut self-titled EP (via Father/Daughter in the USA and Alcopop!

i love Kendall Roy so much i don't have enough words for it. was walking through the park yesterday and thinking that while listening to modest mouse float on and honestly i love all the roy children so much, they feel like family to me. i don't know if that was the point of the show but they accomplished that and more. the park detour took me into a little amusement park that sits inside it i used to go to as a child and i hadn't been there in many many years or at least not directly having walked through it. not much has changed and it still smells like nostalgia. not much has changed in the park itself either, except it looks a little more tidy and cared for, and now there's CCTV every 10 feet which i definitely do not like. i hate feeling watched and okay it's not like i'm going to be wandering around drunk off my tits puking in the bushes there again anytime soon (though never say never lmao) but it still isn't nice to know those antics can now be recorded by city hall and perused at their pleasure. the fountain was drained and i wonder if it's been that way since that girl got electrocuted and died inside it, what a horrible way to die when you think about it probably one of the worst, she was maybe 10 or 11 i forget. i dipped into a store on the way out to get a bottle of water and some 12 or 13 year old boys were huddled around the alcopop mixers and giggling over the orange one called Sex on the Beach, it made me feel something warm inside but simultaneously sad, like we've come full circle and now i'm the adult amused at the children doing their amusing things, the exact same things i used to do with my own friends. oh, to be 12 again, i thought, bought my water and left to go back outside. i detoured into no less than two shops asking for thc edibles, one of the sellers was nicer than the other but i do wonder what not one but two whole smoke shops are doing on one of our main streets. regrettably i give them 8 months. rollercoastered through a whole lot of emotions in one day that ranged from ecstatically high to suicidally low, which is also kind of funny and wild when you think about it, but reminded myself at the low to remind myself of how the ecstatic high felt.
a lot of my emotions are still about how it feels to be in my body and directly related to the things i eat, i need to learn when i have a "bad" eating day not to get down on myself for it, simply observe the sensations inside my body, and start over the next day 'better'. i was going to say act like yesterday didn't happen but then i wouldn't be able to build on my mistakes. my body itself seemed to punish me for my gluttonous eating by giving me the shits (not diarrhea, but close), which in earlier times i would've dismissed and carried on eating like this for the rest of my weeks, but nowadays i see the correlation, not only do i see it but i feel it and it makes me want to be better, to do better. it's such a hard balance feeding your body both what it wants and needs, but trying to make sure you're not overdoing it. or maybe i'm fucking PMS-ing again and the cravings have increased. oh, the joys of being a woman.

Do you remember alcopops - those nasty and cheap alcoholic mixed drinks from your youth that gave you your first high? That’s what the music of VORSICHT KINDER sounds like and that’s how they claim their own music genre: the alcopop.
VORSICHT KINDER are four friends from Berlin who took four years to record their first tape (too many alcopops? no, attitude!). Their music is characterised by unusual languages, instrument swapping and obligatory cigarette breaks.
