MENACE (UK '77)
Menace were London’s first generation no-nonsense boot boys, pre-dating Sham 69 and Cockney Rejects who overtook them in terms of mass popularity.
They formed in 1976 at the Hope And Anchor in Islington when Webster met the other three members and were soon playing the Roxy. Their high-energy, unpretentious sets won them few admirers in the inkies e.g. the Press, but they swiftly built a strong following that brought together both punks and skinheads. They’re often cited as the first to unite this potentially volatile mix. However, there was nothing premeditated about the audience they attracted. “Sham were more overt in their leanings towards skinheads,” Martin told me. “We had that crossover thing. We liked that idea.” Partly because most of the band themselves were skinheads in their youth.
Half of the band were first generation Irish immigrants. “We were working class lads from around King’s Cross. Charlie and me came over from Ireland when we were about 14. We were both from the Galway area, but we didn’t actually know each other until we met in England. We were in the same class together, at St William Of York school, and being Irish, there was obviously an immediate connection. Steve Tannett was in the year below us. St William Of York was also John Lydon’s school. When we saw him on TV, when the punk thing got going, we couldn’t believe it we knew at school! He didn’t stand out. He wasn’t good at football and he wasn’t one of the tough kids.” Neither Casey nor Martin belonged in the ‘most likely to achieve’ category either. “You automatically became prefects in the fifth form at our school, and we were the only two that didn’t. Charlie lived round the corner from the school, so we’d go to his house make lunch and play our guitars. We hooked up with Steve Tannett after leaving school.” We stated in pub rock band Stonehenge in 1975.
Menace were initially signed to Miles Copeland’s Illegal Records and made their debut single in August 1977 with ‘Screwed Up’ backed by ‘Insane Society’. Charlie Harper of the UK Subs bought the very first copy when he bumped into Martin picking up the first box of singles from Copeland’s office. It was good, honest, working class sloganeering (“If we’re the working class/Why ain’t we got jobs?”) and more musically adept than you might imagine. Sniffing Glue trumpeted that they “are the best punk band in England today!” after witnessing some highly charged early shows at venues such as the Vortex and Hope And Anchor.
THE RADS (IT)
Meet The Rads, a raw, high-energy band from Florence, that's set to reignite the protopunk flame with a modern edge. Formed by a quartet of veteran rockers, their music is a relentless fusion of grit, groove, and conscious rebellion, capturing the essence of punk's untamed origins in a more "adult" form. Their highly anticipated debut EP is a five-track tour de force of original music, channeling the chaotic spirit of the past while carving a bold path forward. The Rads are here to shake things up, defy convention, and remind everyone what raw, uncompromising rock 'n' roll feels like.

LAZY LAZARUS
A synth beams in like a ray of light. It sounds weird for a mourning song. The almost-arcade vibe makes it even more odd, a juxtaposition of colors, a mood-swinging jam that runs fast towards the end of a tunnel.
“My Doomed Friend” is the new single by Florentine jester Lazy Lazarus. A multifaceted talent who mixed various influences in his debut LP, the fascinating and eclectic Spilt Milk, published in May 2024 by Jipo Records. Displaying a versatility informed by neopsychedelia, 60s pop and folk, 90s slacker-ish indie rock, modern jazz, lo-fi electronics and soul, Lazy Lazarus stands as one of the talents to look after in the Italian underground music scene. If you’re looking for cutting edge pop music, with bits of nostalgia and sparks of drug addled happiness, then look no further.
“You used to be good to your friends - Then you locked yourself up - You ve been far from the things that you love”, is where the meaning of the whole track lays. It’s not about the things we lost, but the things we keep ourselves away from. It’s heartbreaking but it won’t leave you in despair: it sounds almost cathartic, an ode to life and joy.
“My Doomed Friend” is also a visual tale. A video directed by Noplanetishome, where you can only see the shadows of the musicians on a stark backdrop. You can’t really see them, but they’re your friends.
SHE FOUND
Shefound is an alternative rock band born in Vicenza, Italy, in 2019.
With their new album No Big Deal (October 2025), the band embraces a rawer, punk-inspired sound: loud, edgy, and emotionally intense.
After the introspective tones of No Gravity (May 2023), No Big Deal marks a clear shift in direction: distorted guitars, sharp basslines, electronic textures, and fierce female vocals blend into a sound that feels chaotic yet intentional. It’s a record that speaks about anger, freedom, sexual violence, and self-acceptance.
This new chapter defines Shefound’s artistic identity, a fusion of punk energy, electronic experimentation, and emotional depth.
No Big Deal isn’t just an album title; it’s a statement of intent.
The Shefound project is now focused on evolving this sound further, continuing to explore the intersection between grit and emotion, noise and vulnerability, the space where the band feels most alive.
