Neat little pop outpost on the net that occasionally features my writing, as well as other stuff that's actually worth reading too.

The absolute daddy. The finest music magazine on the market. Totally honest, utterly unbeholden to anyone, but always written from a fan's eyeview.

A great site and a great resource for anyone interested in UK punk from 1977 onwards. Also check out the lively discussion boards which are a great source of info.

Cherry Red has a great CD catalogue of the great, the obscure and the odd. I do a fair amount of work for them, so if you want to buy copies of the Charlottes, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Easterhouse, Ruefrex, Charge, etc, click here.

Barney's exquisite site full of great rock writing over the last 25 years. Even features some of my work, alongside a very, very, very dodgy photograph.

Mark B's treasure chest of absolutely rockin' punk rock from the 70s onwards. A few dodgy Oi! bands as well, but then no-one's perfect. Click on this link to see more on my work on Members, Penetration, Skids etc re-releases.

Dizzy's Punk Rock Heaven!
Yep, loads of bios of fantastic lost punk bands. A great resource which is constantly and continually updated.. I contributed some of the stuff here - Blunt Instrument, Martin And The Brownshirts, Open Sore, etc.

Hyped 2 Death.Com
Chuck's yer man for those 45s you thought would never, ever, ever see the light of digital day. A monstrous selection of the beautifully obscure, and the obscurely beautiful. The Versatile News, anyone?

TrakMarx With prose so sharp you can cyber-lacerate yourself in a single sitting, Trakmarx is the best online mag/fanzine you will ever read. One day I will write for it and change all that.

Two Excellent sites discussing local punk history. Tingle as you look at photos of folks wielding guitars in that classic get up and go DIY spirit. Both sites run by really nice people. Honestly.

A selection of great hip hop sites
These are all excellent sites. My all-time fave is Davey D's Davey D.com (click on The World From A Hip Hop Perspective). A great site for rebutting the myth that the whole hip hop world has gone bling. Rapstation is one for the Chuck D fans in the house. And Old School is an excellent site for checking out the history of hip hop.
