* * * * * * * * *
Aussie pub punk band RATSALAD are leaving their small coastal hometown in the middle of nowhere, Western Australia, to head up to Europe and the UK on their first international tour this June & July.
Straight outta Geraldton, Western Australia, this four-piece surf-punk wrecking crew bringing raw, high-energy chaos to the UK Up until now they’ve been shaking up the Aussie punk scene with a riff-heavy sound that fuses classic US punk energy with the unmistakable grit and humour of regional Australia with sweaty, no-bullshit live shows and anthems about beach towns, burnout, and going way too hard on a Tuesday!
Their debut album Bent Trees & Swanny Deez dropped in March 2024 via Pee Records (Aus), Lockjaw Records (UK), and High Denim Records (US), racking up over 500,000 streams and promptly sold out its first vinyl pressing. They've toured with the likes of Dune Rats, Frenzal Rhomb, and The Smith Street Band, and are 4x winners of the WA Music 'Punk/Hardcore Song of the Year'.
Proudly fronted by a fierce female vocalist and driven by a DIY ethic, RATSALAD. are all about inclusion, connection, and high-octane punk rock. If you like Amyl & The Sniffers and The Chats come say hello to their mates and give em a warm Notts welcome and a cold beer!
They're ace, bring your mates. Let’s get loud and have a ripper night!

URA slave! - Random Hand & Faintest Idea (In peace talks)@ Hairy Dog w/ local supports tbaThe Hairy Dog, Derby
There's been a long and somewhat complicated feud between these two bands now for quite some time, but once again, they are attempting to solve their differences. Both have released statements today announcing this:
Random Hand
After several years of hostilities, Random Hand are finally taking out Faintest Idea in a last ditch attempt to rehabilitate and reintroduce them to the wider ska punk community. These first three dates, in Derby, Plymouth & Falmouth will provide the setting of peace talks that aim to bring stability to our currently fractured scene.
We can be better, we will be better!Faintest Idea
We have managed to negotiate that Random Hand will calm down their unprovoked violence towards us for at least 3 days this summer. It was quite challenging to get them to this point as you can imagine.
We're gunna be bringing our peace talks to Derby, Plymouth & Falmouth in July in the hope we can convince them to give us a bit of a break
Grab tickets ASAP and be on the correct side (us) of peaceHopefully it won't end up in another arm wrestle!
Tickets are just £16.50 available from:

9.00
Born and bred in Nottingham, Pretty Windows are a duo serving up a riot of stories, characters and mangled, lyrical mayhem, all painfully extracted from this terrible-beautiful thing, we call life. Beats, loops and inventive guitar act as the back drop to our mostly spoken, hard won words, all preserved in amber within that glorious creation we call the pop song. We live and love to play live. Come and feel it with us. If nothing else, we are sure we will make you smile.

Ronnietold us' work blends raw lyricism, live performance energy, and a storytelling edge rooted in spoken word and electronic music. Although pretty early days with this music project, they just racked the largest crowd at Record Store Day at Rough Trade Nottingham, and are building a core following.
You can check out their music via Spotify, have a listen to Ronnietoldus' recent single, 'Flashing Lights' :
