Punk, art punk, power pop and post-punk rub shoulders in an amicable way on this Gulls Window Circus show. Punkers can head straight to The Users, Red Rockers, The Adverts, Naked Raygun, The Damned, Blatant Dissent, The Forgotten Rebels, The Stiffs and The Barbies. Looking at hard indie, power pop and post-punk, I just realized pretty much everything else blends these sounds, each in their own way. Songs are short this week, so there is a lot to hear – let’s get going!

A non-rock Gulls Window Circus show that has some electro/beats, some reggae, afrobeat, funk, library music, post-punk and krautrock. The Rootsman track has sure been running through my head all week, as have the Jan Wobble and Earwig tracks. I think the flow from one sound to another goes really well and that you will find much here to love.
