Punktastic is one of Europe's most popular online-only music magazines, and also one of it's longest running. We've been around since 2000 so we have an amazing heritage in the sector.

We cover a loose range of music that goes from the niche (punk, hardcore, thrash and others) to the more mainstream (pop-punk, metal, emo and others). Our competitors generally cover famous bands, and although we also do this, our specialty is knowing and promoting unsigned and independent bands, or ones on smaller diy labels.

We try and tell the truth when others can’t be bothered, calling out BS and giving a platform to the new music that everyone else ignores. We’re part of the culture and we care deeply about it, giving kudos to people doing new stuff and creating things ourselves that make the scene better.

Our team of editors, writers and creatives break all the latest news in the sector, write reviews and interviews, cover gigs and festivals around the world, comment on the industry, record sessions, and tons more. We work directly with the UK and US music scene to help give talent a push forward.
