Apparently the UK government has no interest in allowing Serbian punk act The Worldly Savages to play their folk noise at our lovely festivals. In trying to stop the spread of folk punk, the government saw it fit to deny visas to half the band members! It is not the first time I’ve heard of bands having problems this year; who knows how ridiculous it will become after Brexit!

The band is scheduled to play Boomtown Festival this coming Friday; the good news is they will still be playing, the sad news is that it will be a stripped down version with half the members left behind in Serbia!

Well the band was not too happy about the situation and took to youtube to protest UK visa restrictions. You can check the rather amusing video for “21st Century Racism” below. It’s actually very catchy and raises a good point about border controls.

It’s been a long wait but legendary queercore punks Limp Wrist are back and streaming their new album ‘”Facades”. It is their first release in 9 years! The first 8 tracks are exactly what you have been waiting for all these years; fast and angry hardcore punk. However the last 3 tracks take a strange twist. Give it a listen below.

Apparently there was an issue with some of the material in the booklet. We are not sure what exactly but the label tweeted this:

“There is a first time for everything. Limp Wrist LP booklet just got refused by the printers based on the content. Too steamy for UK 2017.”

If you know much about Limp Wrist then this is probably not surprising!
