Hey! I'm running Race For Life Bedford in July to raise money for @cancerresearchuk.org. Anyone want to sponsor me? I'd really appreciate anything anyone can give. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/colins-...

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Our remaining vinyl stock is on sale, as we’ve gotta fund getting new tees and other costly band endeavours. Grab one at Bandcamp or just send me a message saying “alright matey, I may as well grab one of these”. Cheers. Down to the last few splatter ones.

So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be. Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that “this stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

Beginning the big reorganisation of our record collection and having a lovely time. Can't think why I've been advertised autism quizzes so much over the past few days. I can't wait until I have room to reorganise the graphic novels... Oh, I get it.

I joined Letterboxd, going to try and watch 50 films this year. Follow me if you like. letterboxd.com/colinsprw/

I’m so tired, folks. As I’m sure most of us here are…

Burnt Tapes x Sunliner 🤘🎫

Picked up the first three issues of Guns Of Brixton by @seangoldingwrites.bsky.social & @renzopodesta.bsky.social at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social Described to me as an all female punk band surviving in a zombie apocalypse. I loved it, very excited for the fourth and fifth issues to come out.

47 people on the promised me they would read a top 25 favourite albums of 2025 column if I wrote one. I hope they weren't fibbing. colinspunkrockworld.blogspot.com/2025/12/coli...

Do people still actually read end of year lists?

Our new single, 'I Don't Know You But I Love You', is out today! Produced, mixed and mastered by Oz Craggs at Hidden Track Studios Filmed and edited by Ell Bobin Videography youtu.be/gWdDnMfGZWQ?...

Manchester Punk Festival puts together the best line ups every year but next year's line up is really special. SLOW GHERKIN!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to an album on its release day on repeat. Still Here by @brutalligators.bsky.social is very good! shop.fikarecordings.com/album/still-...

It's been a while since I've gotten really excited about a brand new band but this has me super excited. Almost enough to review it. I'm done doing that but I do recommend checking this out. familiarghost.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-...

This weekend @emmaprew.bsky.social and I popped up to Yorkshire for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social and also popped into @okcomics.bsky.social. Getting all these home on the train tomorrow could be tricky.

This weekend @emmaprew.bsky.social and I are off to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social for the weekend. It's our first time, any hints and tips for us?

Nice of @filthymilitia.bsky.social to release this on my birthday week.

This is looking so good already. All these great bands and a massive pals fest. Always the best weekend of the year.

Since last October when I started my rank every album ever project I've listened to 485 different albums. Mostly I've confirmed that once I create a spreadsheet for something I commit.

Something interesting I've noticed since starting this rank all the albums ever project is just how much more frequently bands put out albums in the 90s compared to today. I wonder why that could be? Less money in putting out music? The cost of actually making an album? Quality over quantity?

Increase a band: More Than Jake

Happy Release Day‼️ Enjoy #newmusicfridays

I came out of review retirement to review Burnt Tapes new album New Lungs. Out on Friday via @lockjawrecordsuk.bsky.social, Wiretap Records and Nasty Cut Records. colinspunkrockworld.blogspot.com/2025/08/albu...

After seeing over 1200 different bands in my life it's very rare I get to cross one of the bucket list anymore. However, tonight I get to cross Nerf Herder off my list and I'm excited.

The Daily Mail’s front page there, celebrating a England footballer of Ghanaian descent while also telling migrants to get out of England. Truly, you couldn’t make their shit up.

To go along with my quest to find the greatest albums of all time, here's a playlist of 5 star bangers. Give it a follow. Updated all of the time. open.spotify.com/playlist/3WR...

Today @emmaprew.bsky.social closed the boot of her car on my head. Ouch!

Saw Press Club in Bedford last night. (I don't understand why they played Bedford either). They might be the best live band in the world right now. Soo good!

And here's an updated list of my favourite albums from the 2010's.

Been listening to lots of albums this week for my spreadsheet ranking all the albums ever (not quite all of them but lots). Here's my current top 25 albums by UK bands. Tell me where you think I've gone wrong. What do you think should be on there?

Still on tour. Here's a canal.

Picked up the next tpb of Chew that I needed. Felt appropriate to pick this one up in Amsterdam.

A thing I learnt today is that cooking in someone else's kitchen is really stressful, especially when it's a much nicer kitchen than your own. My hosts did say that they enjoyed my famous "Colin's Curry" though so Chef Colin Did It Again.

Have you listened to ‘You Only YOLO Once’ yet⁉️Let us know what you think BurntTapes.lnk.to/yolo

Going on tour (holiday). @colinsprw.bsky.social

To the Plane Station!

The best band in the UK have a new single out.

Been listening to a bunch of albums from the 2000's. The decade where I really started to discover stuff for myself. Here's the top 25 so far.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Come to me for all your book recommendations.

Generations have gone without seeing Palace win a major trophy. The final whistle wasn’t just for us, but for them. We screamed the joy of the hundreds of thousands who came before us. A generational celebration.

I've also starting to count down the shifts I have left at work before @emmaprew.bsky.social and I swan off to Europe for these two festivals. Can't wait. 9 shifts to go.

Been a while since I shared anything to do with my never ending quest to work out the best album ever. Here's an updated list of my top 25 albums from the 90's. Unsurprisingly there's a lot of ska.

Arms shouldn’t be offside. You can’t score with your arm

Some upcoming shows! There’s a handful of things we’re excited about that we still need to announce but we’re up to 18 shows booked for 2025 now. We’d like it to be 20, so please reach out and we’ll see what we can do!

This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
