Brighton's Punk Scene Unleashed

The punk scene has a long history of thriving in the UK, with its roots in the late 1970s and early 1980s. From the anarcho-punk of bands like Crass to the post-punk of Joy Division, the genre has evolved over the years, incorporating various influences and styles. This Halloween, The Prince Albert in Brighton will play host to a day and night of punk mayhem, featuring a lineup of exciting bands from across the UK.

The event, titled MoonPunx #19 ALBERTWEEN!, will kick off at 1:30 PM with a matinee session featuring Solus, El Capitan, The Clocks, Screaming Violets, and headliners Dissent. Solus, a post-punk band from Southeast London, will bring their unique blend of anarcho-punk, Killing Joke, and Loop to the stage. El Capitan, a three-piece band from the South Coast, will deliver a guitar-driven blend of alternative rock and psych, while The Clocks will bring their psychedelic haze and indie swagger to the forefront. Screaming Violets, a four-piece garage punk band from West London, will deliver a gunky fuzz trash sound, and Dissent, a Deptford-based old-school punk band, will headline the matinee session with their original and entertaining style.

As the evening approaches, the energy will only intensify, with openers Amongst Strangers, a street/skate punk band from East Anglia, taking to the stage. They will be followed by Gripper Lee, a veteran post-punk/gothic trio, and Family of Strangers, a four-piece punk band from Brighton. The headliners for the evening will be BULLITZ 23, a melodic punk rock band from Scotland, who will deliver their '77 style punk rock tunes with a modern edge. With their sharp songwriting, driving rhythms, and uncompromising attitude, BULLITZ 23 are sure to get the crowd moving.
