July 2019 playlist montageWith a festival and a lot going on, my July playlist has become a bumper one with double the number of tracks than normal.

As ever some of these have more specific reason to be here while others are just songs that happened to pop up and strike a chord.

From the 15th annual Chaos weekend music festival (read more here) we’ve got Subhumans, Robert J. Hunter, Joe Corbin and, in a round about way, The Cramps and Silverchair.

Following a storming show in London there’s tracks from Ministry, 3Teeth and Grave Lines.

UK up-and-comers King Nun are on the list after a fun show in Guernsey, while NoFX are here as their landmark album Punk In Drublic mark’s its 25th anniversary and we have something brand new from Tiger army from their upcoming new record as well as a track from Western Stars, the latest from Bruce Springsteen.
