The New Jersey stoner doomsters, or doom stoners if you prefer (it’s your choice), will be preaching their brand of HEAVY metal to choirs of the converted in this little corner of the Überverse very shortly, and they set the scene for what to expect with this latest extract from their upcoming album, which will follow later in the summer (if that ever comes around!).

In the year now known as CE791, longships containing fierce, long-haired warriors from the far-off northlands of Scandinavia first appeared off the coast of Ireland, their occupants seeking what they had sought and found elsewhere around the periphery of the North Sea and beyond – plunder and prisoners. Over the course of the next half a century or so, the raiders gradually transitioned into settlers, founding the island’s first permanent settlements in the likes of Dublin and Limerick, and by the time their Norman descendents likewise came calling, some 200 years later, they had integrated seamlessly into the local population. Now, a millennium further along the timeline, a new band of raiders, wanderers and warriors have appeared on the horizon, descending from the north west of the Emerald Isle to pillage our hearts, souls and eardrums with equally lethal intent, their axes creating music rather than spilling blood but their war drums still sounding loud and proud, a defiant declaration.

Supporting the supports is Jase W’s diehard rule for gig going. One he absolutely refuses to break and when it came to tonight’s main act, it’s a rule that he was very happy that he stuck to when it came to Future Palace coming through Amsterdam a while back because tonight’s headline act, Our Promise, absolutely blew his tits off and he’d been hungry for more ever since…

The Macc Lads may have gotten older and the world may have changed around them, to a point where there are plenty of people even less tolerant to their antics, but this hasn’t stopped the band that spent most of the 80s getting banned from venues and even entire towns across the ÜK. They’re still alive and fuelled by Boddingtons (although arguably that’s not the same as it used to be either) bringing in 2026 with a new album ‘Wild Cider Wife’, so it’s only natural that, after an extended break, Jonny B dusted off his press credentials and made his way to Nottingham’s Rock City for a night of ‘Beer & Sex & Chips n Gravy’.
