Featuring a line up of Christopher Gaultier (Vocals), Christoph Schmidt (Guitars), Nicolas Bazire (Bass) & Marlon Roux (Drums), they're a band that turn out hardcore punk just the way I like it. Powerful and punchy, lyrically on point and with hooks and melody.
It's been 8 years since their last release (Relentless) but they return with an early contender for album of the year. It's titled Defiance and you can order it on vinyl here :
Lucy (https://www.instagram.com/lucy__offi/) are from Madrid and are another of the bands that went down a storm on this week's show so I'll highlight them on here.
They're a hard hitting punk quartet featuring Tata (drums), Claudia (bass), Laura (guitar) & Neli (vocals) who formed in 2022. Last September saw them release a debut album titled El Orden. It's available as a name your price download here : https://lucy707.bandcamp.com/album/el-orden
This track deals with the increase in protests in Spain about the over abundance of tourists. Protestors said that the large number of visitors were the cause of price increases for goods across the city, as well as putting pressure on public services, and complained that wealth generated by tourism was not distributed and thus a cause of increased social inequality. This is Lucy's take on things. It's called Tourist Go Home...
Queda inaugurada la estación vacacional Turistas quemados arrasan la ciudad Salta del balcón, a ver si mueres ya Y así mi alquiler vuelve a bajar Me la pela tu café de especialidad Un tiro en la nuca os tenían que pegar Vete de mi barrio que te voy a robar Inundaría de sangre la puta ciudad
Guillotina al casero, flotan cuerpos en el Duero Tourist Go Home Ataca a los maderos, en su nuca un agujero Tourist Go Home
Si un inmigrante es blanco lo aplauden al llegar El alquiler turístico es la peste actual Deberías poner a Mussolini de aval Vete a tu casa que te vamos a expropiar En verano esperamos que te lo pases genial Mientras con tus putas tripas nos ponemos a jugar Vigila tu cartera, tu móvil, tu abuela El candado de tu piso irregulado en Marbella
Guillotina al casero, flotan cuerpos en el Duero tourist go home Ataca a los maderos, en su nuca un agujero Tourist go home Tourist Go Home Tourist Go Home
Guillotina al casero, flotan cuerpos en el Duero tourist go home Ataca a los maderos, en su nuca un agujero Tourist go home Tourist Go Home
Burned-out tourists wreak havoc on the city. Jump off the balcony, let's see if you die already. And that way my rent goes down again. I don't give a damn about your specialty coffee. You should get a bullet in the back of the head. Get out of my neighborhood, I'm going to rob you. I'd flood the fucking city with blood.
Guillotine the landlord, bodies float in the Duero. Tourist Go Home. Attack the cops, a hole in the back of their necks . Tourist Go Home.
If an immigrant is white, they applaud him when he arrives. Tourist rentals are the current plague. You should put Mussolini up as a guarantor. Go home, we're going to expropriate you. In summer we hope you have a great time. While we start playing with your fucking guts . Watch your wallet, your cell phone, your grandmother. The lock on your unregulated apartment in Marbella.
Guillotine the landlord, bodies float in the Duero. Tourist go home. Attack the cops, a hole in the back of their necks. Tourist go home . Tourist Go Home. Tourist Go Home.
Guillotine the landlord, bodies float in the Duero. Tourist Go Home. Attacks the cops, a hole in the back of their necks. Tourist Go Home. Tourist Go Home.)
BiNT (https://www.facebook.com/BintOfficial/) are a punk band from South Shields. They feature a line up of Ryan Ailano (Guitar), Seaghan Herrera Valentine (Guitar), Riece Kidney (Electric Bass Guitar) & Andrew Hudson (Drums).
I know the square root of fuck all about them but they went down a storm with the folk in the chatroom on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show so that's as good a reason as any to shout about them.
This song is from their 2025 Demo and it's bloody good so give it a listen. It's called Imposter Syndrome...
Radio Chip Pan (https://www.facebook.com/radiochippan) are an old school punk quartet from Dunfermline who feature a line up of Eddie (lead guitar and vocals), Dave (bass and backing vocals), Scott (rhythm guitar and backing vocals) & Dom (drums).
They first came to my attention with their 2023 album Happy Now. Last year saw them get another play on the Just Some Punk Songs show when they released a fairly apt tune called Make Punk Offensive Again.
That mission statement is in full effect on their latest release. It's a jolly old singalong about the BBC and some of the less than savoury characters that have been employed (and at times protected) by that organization. You can find it here : https://radiochippan.bandcamp.com/track/nonce-factory
They've a new album coming out on March 6th. Titled Still No Future, it'll be released by TNS Records. From what I've heard so far I'm pretty confident that it'll be their best release yet.
The first single from the album is a ripper of which the band comment...
" Seems strange how many politicians are happy to blame immigrants for the problems in society, without recognising the they are children of immigrants who have fled war, famine and disease. Easy to dream up harsh policies when you’ve continually dehumanised the very people who look like and sound like your own parents.
Feels like politicians should be there to serve the people, to have our interests front and centre rather than their own self-serving priorities of wealth and status.
When the likes of Suella Braverman urge us to look elsewhere, to see “them” as the enemy and the cause of our misery, it’s a deliberate distraction.
It's not people like them who are the problem Suella, it's 'People Just Like You' "
It's called People Just Like You...
Your views on immigrants and asylum seekers are deplorable like you An ethnostate of fascism is what you like to do Money greases palms, we know that much is true The only people that benefit are people just like you
It's people just like you! (Like you!) It's people just like you! (Like you!) It's people just like you! (Like you!) It's people just like you! (Like you!)
If your parents come here now, you'd try and deport them too An ethnostate of fascism is what you like to do Money greases palms, we know that much is true The only people that benefit are people just like you
It's people just like you! (Like you!) It's people just like you! (Like you!) It's people just like you! (Like you!) It's people just like you! (Like you!)
Let's kick 2026 off with a lively punk ditty that I missed last year.
Craic Killers (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581502717812) are a politically active Welsh/Irish punk duo based in South East London. They're new to me so I know very little about them but I do know that they released a very fine ep in October titled Who TF Is....Craic Killers?
5 tracks of blistering punk tuneage accompanied by acerbically thoughtful lyrics. Topics include how those in power seek to divide and distract (Stop arguing with each other, They are doing this on purpose, Split the people, split the conscious, and you’ll find yourself in office), colonialism (And don’t you ever forget, yous are murderers, I want my counties back) and middle aged narrow minded women (like Lucy Connolly?) (It’s all for the greater good it’s for the master race).
I'm looking forward to hearing more. (There's a collaboration coming on the January 2026 Dam-nations compilation from Dammit Records where they've teamed up with Asthma Killers on a track called Davos) https://dammitrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dam-nations-january-2026
This is the opening track. It's a song about police discrimination. It translates into English as The Pigs. It's titled Na Muca...
Na muca, na RUC and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
Off with their heads,
Na muca, NYPD and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
They can get bent,
These things claim to be the guardians of the civil world,
A place where nothing bad can happen if you know the rules,
Only if you’re of a lighter persuasion,
Because everybody knows about police discrimination,
They won’t admit it, they’ve the chart in their car,
Darker than a beach tan, you ain’t going too far,
No pale skin like Dracula, they wont let you in,
But he won’t get in either, bloody immigrants,
Na muca, na RUC and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
Off with their heads,
Na muca, NYPD and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
They can get fucking bent,
There’s nobody more violent than the police,
Other than the military, which makes you a Nazi,
Little sore losers, all lined up,
Got bullied in school, but now you’re making time up,
They won’t admit it, they’ve the chart in their car,
Darker than a beach tan, you’re not going too far,
No pale skin like Dracula, they wont let you in,
But he won’t get in either, bloody immigrants,
The whole world watched it on their TV,
Got more problems with footballers taking knees,
Vision is clouded and judgement is blurred,
As long as they don't come to get me first,
Vision is clouded and judgement is blurred,
As long as they don't come to get me first,
Vision is clouded and judgement is blurred,
As long as they don't come to get me first,
Na muca, na RUC and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
Off with their heads,
Na muca, NYPD and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
They can get fucking bent,
Na muca, na RUC and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
Off with their heads,
Na muca, NYPD and the Met,
Whatever you’re calling them,
Off with their heads.
(Wee John Butcher go and suck your ma)
