Jungle Vinilo y CD

Review: Viva La Revolution indeed. The Adicts tore out of England's east coast, and specifically Ipswich, and immediately made an impact. Asked to change their name by Sire Records in a bid to appease the charts and TV bookers - although, oddly, one of the options was apparently The Fun Adicts, which raises more quandaries - Rockers In Orbit captures their huge sound in all its glory. Recorded live at Alabama Halle, Munich, Germany, depending on which way you're listening first impressions invoke breakneck punk, motoring metal, and even the romance and commanding power of The Cure at their loudest and most dominating. Ultimately, though, these guys just sound like The Adicts. A questionable reference point we can only assure you is meant as a total complement. Not a band people will forget in a hurry.

Review: A very limited number of vinyl copies have been available of this first EP (originally released 1985) by Stevenage goth legends Fields of the Nephilim over the years, so it's a welcome, bumper return as it's been extended to include a spread of companion material, including remixes and demos. Musically, it's rare to blend dark, growled esoteric vocals with bright, Smiths/Cure-esque new wave guitars, but it really works. Retaining relevance since a swathe of new, up-and-coming bands plumb the depths of post-punk and new wave scenes in creating their sounds, the Fields of the Nephilim renaissance has every chance of spreading even further.

Review: Having recently been refused entry into the US due to their staunch anti-Trump stance, London's own pub rock turned homegrown punk icons UK Subs shall reissue their criminally underrated Japan Today for Record Store Day 2025. Originally released in 1987 and ranked letter J in the Subs' A-Z album list, this LP has been out of print for the past decade and finally returns home to wax for both longtime fans who've worn their original pressing down to PVC scraps and late to the party newcomers doing their most studious punk homework. Remastered with updated artwork, featuring both Knox and Daryl Barth wielding a double-guitar assault, the record boasts some of the band's most overlooked gems such as 'Another Cuba' and 'Thunderbird Wine'.
