NO MURDER NO MOUSTACHE ‘AS EVERYTHING ELSE DECAYS’ (SELF-RELEASED)
Celtic folk punk troubadour No Murder No Moustache has never exactly been short on heart, but new album ‘As Everything Else Decays’ feels like the moment Owen Crawford properly swings for the fences. Framed as his most personal work to date, it welds kitchen‑sink reflection to barricade‑ready resistance songs, all while keeping a pint‑in‑the‑air sense of mischief close at hand.

THE BIG ÜBER RÖCK INTERVIEW: STARBENDERS
Atlanta retro rock ‘n’ rollers Starbenders are about to unleash the beast that is their new album, and will celebrate with an epic trek around the Über Kingdom and the rest of the continent known as Europe. So, what better time to catch up with one of the most snazzily dressed bands around to talk a bit about their history, how the myriad of influences from fashion to music comes to life within their records and how it’s shaped their music journey going forward… and perhaps a little hint of what’s to come?

HENGE – UTRECHT, TIVOLI VREDENBURG – 13 DECEMBER 2025
Cosmic Dross was back in the Netherlands and after his last journey with HENGE in Melkweg, Jase W was absolutely buzzed to be able to take another trip with these intergalactic emissaries. This time landing in Tivoli Vredenburg over in Utrecht, this would no doubt be another interesting exploration of the psychedelic reaches of the Galaxy and one’s own psyche…

THE BIG ÜBER RÖCK INTERVIEW – BARRETT MARTIN
When you bring together a group of musicians that features luminaries from the alt-pop, grunge and stoner scenes, and between them have been responsible for producing possibly upwards of a hundred albums, you know it is destined to be something special… and so it has proven with Drink The Sea, a collaboration between REM guitarist Peter Buck, ex-Mad Season/Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin, QOTSA’s Alain Johannes and Mark Lanegan’s long-time collaborator Duke Garwood.

Another new venue ticked off the list in the Netherlands, dB’s in Utrecht for a band Jase W has been wanting to see for a very long time, Gnome! This has been long overdue after he found ‘Wenceslas’ randomly on YouTube a few years back and getting fully addicted to their funky take on stoner rock.

VOWER – TILBURG, HALL OF FAME – 25 NOVEMBER 2025
It seems Jase W is visiting all the venues he’s never been to before this month and in this case as rather than being at the infamous 013 venue in Tilburg, he’s treading new ground at Hall Of Fame. Not only that but a double bill of bands he’s found through friends at festivals such as RADAR and ArcTanGent, in this case it’s Vower and Giant Walker. It’s fantastic that bands such as these are jumping across the channel to give the mainlanders a dose of brilliantly proggy metal from old Blighty, so as if our man in Europe would pass off a chance like this even if it is at the other end of the country.

PENDULUM – TILBURG, 013 – 28 OCTOBER 2025
Pendulum are finally back and doing a proper tour, it’s Pendulum and Jase W could not contain how unbelievably excited he was to see them at their own headline show outside of a festival. Not only that but it’s at a venue like 013 which gives him the experience of a large show and production but in a venue that’s just the right size to feel like he’s standing directly in front of the band…
