Question The Mark - Nightmare on Misery St

 

  One label currently well worth keeping an eye on is Sunderland based Little Rocket Records. Owned by Graeme Philliskirk (Leatherface, Medication) it's been responsible for some great releases (https://littlerocketrecords.bandcamp.com/music).

  Their latest is the new ep from Cardiff power punks Question The Mark. A must for those of you that like Hot Water Music, Jawbreaker, Banner Pilot, Radon etc, the band play the gruff sounding type of melodic punk that unsurprisingly wowed the crowds in Florida when they appeared recently at The Fest. They've been together since 2009 and feature a line up of Tim Davies (guitar/vocals), Rob Pascoe (guitar/backing vocals), Rich James (bass/backing vocals) and Lewis Green (drums). They've a bunch of UK gigs lined up to support the ep and you can check details here : https://www.facebook.com/questionthemark/

  There's 3 songs on the new ep, all of an equally high standard (so check them out here : https://qtmlrr.bandcamp.com/album/nightmare-on-misery-street). They've released a video for the title track so that's the one I'm highlighting today, this is Nightmare On Misery Street...

Rotten Love - You Make Me Twitch

 

  Pretty much all of the updates recently have been new releases (a sign that 2017 is turning out to be a good year for punk music) but today I'm posting a song that's been out for a couple of years but which is an upbeat little number that deserves a place in any collection of great songs.

  Rotten Love are a "power punk" band from Sheffield who released (in Dec 2015) a self titled 8 track mini album which you can find name your price here : https://rottenlove.bandcamp.com/releases . The band features members who've also played in a number of other bands including Pudge, Death Job, Wank Sinatra, Setbacks & Aurochs.  

  A few months later 5 of the songs resurfaced on a 7" called Songs For Rotten Lovers which was released by Kids Of The Lughole and you can check that out here :  https://kidsofthelughole.bandcamp.com/album/songs-for-rotten-lovers

  From that record, here's a song that'll make you want to jump around. Snotty, high energy and fun, this is You Make Me Twitch.....
