Madrid’s Grippers have been bringing fierce, female-fronted street punk since 2014, blending hardcore bite with rock ’n’ roll swagger. Loud, defiant and DIY to the core, their 2026 album Disobedient Mental Attitude ft Aimee of The Interrupters hits hard and is built for the pit.
Blackpool trio Death Trails fuse punk, grunge, ska and hardcore into a chaotic, sweat-soaked live assault. Formed in 2019, they channel raw DIY spirit into loud, heartfelt shows, fresh off stages like Rebellion Festival and armed with sharp, no-nonsense singles.
Two Tonne Machete are a feminist alt-punk force from North West England and North Wales, delivering bass-driven, high-energy anthems with a political edge. Fiercely DIY and fast rising, they’ve earned major radio support, festival slots and awards, with more new music landing in 2026.
Blackpool four-piece Deadsheep.Band deliver gritty, melodic alt-rock with powerful vocals and tight original songwriting. They’re building momentum into 2026 with strong live shows and their punchy single “Mansplaining.”
Liverpool’s PLAYMATE are a five-piece alt-rock outfit blending indie cool with post-punk urgency. Fronted by Jess Forrest, they’re already turning heads at home and quickly becoming one of the city’s most exciting new alternative acts.
Blackpool trio C**k Batteth serve up glitz-soaked, weird rock ’n’ roll, dirty riffs, disco-punk grooves and pure sassy strut. Equal parts punk snarl and sleazy dancefloor stomp.
Blackpool’s Sally Pepper strips pop-punk back to its raw, acoustic core, sharp hooks, honest emotion and restless energy, powered by just a guitar and attitude.
