Something's Better Than Nothing

Dip Dap are a Sloppy sounding Pop Punk band founded in June '08 and based in Glasgow, Scotland. They play short and fast songs with a mix of Grunge. They are always playing gigs in Scotland and England and are influenced by the likes of Astrid Oto, Blatz, Tilt, Nirvana and Crimpshrine, but still manage to put their own twist on things. This EP is the bands first since their reformation in April 2009 but are soon to be recording a full length album. Check out this bands live album and zine too.

Anorak Girl

Plastic Fantastic

In 1996, Anorak Girl came out of nowhere, recorded some songs and vanished. Then, in 2008, they came out of nowhere once again and released a 7 track mini album 'Plastic Fantastic' with remastered songs from the original recordings. They are a girl/boy band and play a mix of indie/pop punk. Well worth checking out.

The Connie Dungs

No Chance EP

This is my second Connie Dungs post. Formed in 1994 in a small town in Kentucky, this snotty pop punk band gained many fans by making and selling their cassettes at many underground punk shows. Since then, they have had many releases on different labels but are still not as well known as they should be.
This EP was released in 1997 on Mutant Pop Records.
