Had a surprise visitor in my room at work this morning! Absolutely no idea how it got in there but it was covered in dust so I gave it a quick rinse and released it outside.

Dejected were the support band and they did a cover of a Nailbomb song which was a treat!

The Indestructibles playing at Barrow Underground Music Society last night. Been quite a while since a punk band last played in my local area 🙂

Yesterday was probably the last camping trip of the year 😪 Paddleboarding on a choppy as fuck Coniston Water, went to all the pubs in the village, had a chippy tea then beers and good music by the camp fire.

Couple of recent additions to the vinyl collection. Ruts DC - Bound In Blood 10" EP and the latest release from Hard-Ons featuring Jerry A of Poison Idea fame on vocals.

A very calm and peaceful Beacon Tarn this morning. Went up there bright an early for a quick swim. Not a bad way to start the day!

Went to see Ruts Dc playing at The Ferret in Preston last night. Great little venue, can't believe I haven't been there before. Ruts DC were on great form as always. Department S were the support band and they were pretty good too.

Yesterday's camping trip at Turner Hall. Hotter than expected so I couldn't resist a dip in the river!

All set for a nice relaxing day and night at Turner Hall campsite. Much needed after last weekends fun and games at Rebellion 🍺🏕

Nice to bump into my old buddy Carol Hodge at Rebellion. Known each other side we were teenagers in the late 90s and its been cool to see her progress from various local bands back then to doing the Crass thing with Steve Ignorant all over the world now. Not to mention her solo work too.

I did a worse than ever job of taking pictures though! Barely took any.

Rebellion so far. Pre 11am pint (bad move), Rebellion Festival flag on top of Blackpool Tower, Smoking Fingers (contenders for best band of the weekend already!) and shit loads of pigeons next to my accommodation 🐦

First attempt at paddleboarding today. Very enjoyable although I didn't manage to stand up on it because it was windy and the water was choppy as fuck on Windermere. Still plenty of fun sat down. Next time!

First festival of the year tomorrow! Feels like it's been ages since I last went to a proper outdoor festival. Think Bearded Theory 2024 might have been the last one. Looking forward to going slightly feral 😼

Fridays trip to my favorite campsite. Spent most of the day in Loughrigg Tarn due to the heat ☀️

FINALLY got to give the new Olivia Rodrigo album a spin. It's been absolute torture having it sat in the house since it was released last Friday but I've not had any spare time to listen to records until today. Amazing emotional roller coaster of an album. Very different to her previous 2 albums.

Some bits and bobs from Skunk Anansie and Garbage last night. Really enjoyed that gig. Cool to see both bands still going strong and both with plenty of important things to say. Enjoyed the support band Du Blonde too.

Few pictures from North West Calling yesterday. Subhumans, Bar Stool Preachers and UK Subs. Charlie being a fucking legend at 82 years young! #punk #northwestcalling #punkmusic

Obligatory video of UK Subs doing Warhead with Wattie from The Exploited at North West Calling yesterday. #punk #uksubs #northwestcalling

North West Calling today. Struggling to get motivated even though I booked my ticket about a year ago! Be fine when I get there, just feel like I could do with a weekend of doing absolutely nothing for a change. I'd be bored within 10 minutes if I did have a weekend like that though. Can't win!

Fun day drinking, eating and walking many miles around York yesterday. Even treated myself to a ride on the big wheel thing despite not being keen on heights. Time for some rest and relaxation at home before heading to Lancaster tomorrow to see the mighty Ruts DC playing at Kanteena!

Devoke Water this morning. Quite a short walk but the scenery made it worthwhile.

Probably going to regret this when it's fucking freezing later on but it seems like a great idea right now! ⛺️🌞

13.5 mile mountain bike ride this morning. I've definitely earned some beers in the sunshine later!

Yesterday's 13 mile hike around Buttermere and Crummock Water. Couldn't have picked a better day for it! Even got slightly sunburnt.

Got lucky at Haybridge this afternoon. Spotted an Adder, some Lizards, a Slow Worm and a Raft Spider all within 10 minutes of getting out of the car. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #Adder #reptiles #cumbria #lakedistrict #haybridgenaturereserve

Faintest Idea playing on the smallest stage ever last night in Lancaster! Fun as fuck. I missed Slow Gherkin due to having to get the train home 😕

2 new additions to the 12" collection. The Crawlers - We Told You So. American hardcore not dissimilar to Poison Idea which can only be a good thing. Great stuff! S.H.I.T - For A Better World. Canadian D-beat. Genuinely nearly blew the speakers. Loudest thing I've heard in a while. Fucking love it!
030
Murf @murfio.bsky.social · 03/04/2026
Couple of recent additions to the 7" collection. The Domestics - Random Camel Shit live ep. If you know this band the you know what you're getting here. Fast and furious stuff. Gimic - We Are Making A New World. Hard to describe this one. Everything you want from a punk band plus more. Recommended!

Top gig last night. Grade 2 smashed it as always. The stuff they played off their new album sounds great. Kicked In The Teeth were definitely an enjoyable support band too. I'd forgotten what a small venue The Deaf Institute is!

Heading to Manchester yet again for the always awesome Grade 2 tonight! Haven't seen either of the support bands before so looking forward to checking them out.

First successful reptile spotting mission of the year. A couple of Lizards and a couple of Adders. The Adders were too far away to get any decent shots hence the poor quality picture and video 🦎🐍 #wildlife #nature #Adder #lizards #Cumbria #lakedistrict
