2000Trees has long been one of the UK’s most exciting festivals for fans of alternative music, bringing together the best of rock, punk, hardcore, metal, emo, and everything sitting somewhere in between. Its reputation has always been built on more than just big names, with the festival consistently giving space to the bands pushing heavy and alternative music forward. Taking place from Wednesday 8th to Saturday 11th July at Upcote Farm in Cheltenham, this year’s lineup is st

There’s always been something untouchable about STATIC DRESS. Not in a distant, polished way, but in the sense that they’ve never quite played by the same rules as everyone else.

Here's what we've been listening to: Dead Pony - Eat My Dust! DEAD PONY are back with a new single, Eat My Dust! ; a very fitting title because they waste absolutely zero time cutting into the action on this track.
