Consisting of 20 tracks and spanning the best part of 2 hours, the album covers his career to date and is filled with some brilliantly humour and between song banter that really draws you into Frank’s world, a world that not many folk would survive - believe me, I’ve seen his tour schedule! He takes time to explain where the influence for the songs came from, these range from failed relationships, gruelling tour schedules, international layovers at bizarre airport lounges and fascinating tales from his colourful life on the road.

During these trying times, why not have a go at remixing a track from The Velvet Hands, it's great fun and doesn't cost a dime....
Since BoJo, the bumbling mop haired jester advised us to ‘stay the fuck indoors’, I’ve been going slightly mad. I was starting to wonder what my dogs would taste like if I was forced to eat them, would I need condiments or would the natural barbecued taste of my two furry friends be enough to satisfy my appetite? - Yes folks, you might say that I’m looking for things to do to pass the time and I think I may have stumbled on the perfect solution.

We caught up with New York based Elizabeth McCullough aka Alpha Cat about her latest single, 'Every Day You Break My Heart'....
Tonight, I was given the opportunity to chat to an amazingly talented woman called Elizabeth McCullough, you may know her better by Alpha Cat, the name that she chose to be recognised by for her musical endeavours.
I literally stumbled across her music on a wonderful site called musosoup.com and thought I’d invite her to take part in an online interview that I set up recently to stop myself from going stir crazy since we had been advised to ‘stay the fuck at home’ by our government.
Elizabeth is a woman of many talents, her skills include professional photography, composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and performer, there are other feathers in her cap but I’ll leave you to discover these later.

We chatted to the founding member of UK punk band SNUFF about their forthcoming EP.....
It’s not every day you get invited to chat to the founding member of a band that you literally grew up listening to. I fondly recall the day that a good friend of mine bought a copy of their debut album Snuffsaidbutgorblimeyguvstonemeifhedidn'tthrowawobblerchachachachachachachachachachachayou'regoinghomeinacosmicambience (We’ll call it ‘Snuff Said’ for short…) round to my place one evening, I think we must have played it 10 times on repeat, flipping the record over every 20 minutes or so and re-listening to it over and over again for the entire evening! Happy days….

Paris based alternative quartet NOUVELLE VAGUE announce a 15 year anniversary tour....
Bossa Nova = Nouvelle Vague = New Wave.

Legendary London punk band SNUFF announce a UK tour in May 2020 and a new EP....
I called the PR Manager as soon as I received the email to tell him that he had just made my day, my week, fuck it, my year with the news that SNUFF were playing 8 UK dates in May 2020. I was even more excited when I saw that they were playing at The Cavern in the heart of Exeter, one of my local haunts!
The tour is to promote the bands new EP which will be released in May on the 10 Past 12 Records label, it’ll be available to buy at the shows on 12 inch vinyl or collectors limited cassette version or via their website www.snuffband.com.
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 lads 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. “PunkRock.... Motown... MinorThreat... Miners’ Strikes... Motorhead... DC... early Who... TwoTone... SX200... Hey ho, let’s go...”
Snuff are born and release ‘Snuff Said’, ‘Flibbidydibbidydob and ‘Reach’ before splitting up following a final show at the Kilburn National. Three years later they came back with only Duncan present from the original line up and a new deal with Fat Wreck Chords for the States and Steve Lamacq’s Deceptive in the UK, an album, ‘Demmamussabebonk’ and an Ep, ‘Long Ball to No-One’ quickly followed along with a blistering appearance at the Reading Festival in ‘99. It took 13 years but eventually the NME (R.I.P.) declared them “the best band in the world”. Tweet Tweet My Lovely and Numbnuts followed before the dissolution of Deceptive saw the band return to their own 10past12 Records and the Blue Gravy EP Snuff vs Urban Dub dub album, Disposable Income, 5-4-3-2-1 Perhaps? And There Is A Lot Of It About.
In the meantime Duncan released a variety of solo projects ranging from using backing bands of Japanese female beat groups, the soon to be released electro-hardcore of Bonzer and the classic Gun’s & Wankers along with the folk of Five Shitty Fingers.
And here they are today. It’s tough to define their sound, because the band dabble in various musical styles whilst maintaining an overall sound that is instantly recognisable and totally rooted in melodic punk. Guitar riffs ,organs, horns and harmonies, all underpinned by the songwriting talent of Duncan Redmonds and long-time right hand man Loz Wong. Together with Dan on bass ,Oli on trumpet and Lee on the Hammond Organ.

Californian rockers NEW YEARS DAY stopped off in Bristol on their UK/European tour, we were there....
As the band took to the stage, a wave of screams almost deafened me. Ash Costello came on last and was taken back by the amount of support. From the first song (Come With Me) the band had clearly blown away the venue (including me).
