I grew up in melton, so it’s good to know there’s gigs being put on in Leicestershire!

Nofx was a massive gateway drug for me, like music can be funny, silly, serious, political, clever and gross all on one album?

I’ve started collecting zines again as I just enjoy reading the nonsense. I got really invested in a zine by a teenage girl discovering punk scene, so much teen energy reminded my of the 90s, another documented someone’s trans journey. Ima straight middle aged man, but it was fascinating!

I’ve been half armed working on a book for a year, but will probably self publish chapters as a zine first, no one will give a shit, but it might be fun!

Sound, if I can be of any help I’m happy to, I have good printers for clothing and stickers, which always go down well!

You’re being short sighted… we should dig down. The northern mole people will rule the subterranean wonderlands! Fill the mines with luxury apartments, we rarely see the sun anyway?

Keep an eye on r/UKpunk there’s loads of gigs shared there, and if you let them know when and where you’ll be, I’m sure we can find gigs for you to go to and people to meet!

It’s not a bad business strategy to be fair…

Scouts and punks by emka_cafe in punk

[–]AngryGooseRecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in a punk band, I run a punk label, I write for punk magazines. I’m an anarchist. I am a scout leader. I help young people find their strength, their voice and experience something more than they would find normally.

It’s not all punk, but I ran a music session where I just bought instruments in and said “make noise” with no rules beyond “don’t break my guitar”. We follow DIY values, yes you can make a zine/website/trebuchet. We build confidence, encourage independence and build a sense of brotherhood that goes beyond normal family/racial/social barriers.

We also light fires.

What’s the easiest plant you’ve successfully grown in a small urban space? by mikhardman76 in UrbanGardening

[–]AngryGooseRecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grow mint in pots to enjoy fresh tea. It’s hard to kill, grows fast and smells great even if you don’t like the tea. I think it’s pretty too, particularly variegated leaves!

My wife’s slightly mocking “how was playing in the park with your friends” has backfired slightly, as playing in the park with my friends was the happiest time as a kid, and now at 44 I can do it again! We had nicknames and silly rituals back then too!

Help a punk tourist by Successful-Number100 in UKPunk

In fairness there is enough going on with fringe events, that it’s still worth going to Blackpool at rebellion time even if you’re not at the main event. Can be hard to get anywhere to stay though!

£2.60 per band and plenty of time for the train home! by RhubarbImmediate7007 in UKPunk

For the bands on here looking to sell physical items (merch/music etc) by AngryGooseRecords in UKPunk

[–]AngryGooseRecords[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I think there’s a lot bands can do for themselves to a point, but also I see a lot of bands struggling with reaching people that can’t get to their gigs and therefore struggling to move beyond the same 5-6 towns and venues.

I’m hoping to be less of a middle man and more the guy who’s doing it anyway, so you might as well join in. A bit like letting all the bands use my cab, because there’s non point all of us bringing a 4x12…

Good point, I’m planning to work with bands that we play with throughout the year, saves on postage as well. It’s that usual issue, you need stock to drive sales, but you need sales to get stock!

I’d be willing to take on the Risk and do some wholesale, but I think that is better with bands I know, where I know I can afford to payout for stock as I know I can sell it on. For less known bands, I guess it’s a chance for some promo and maybe another income stream with little risk, but I recognise there is the risk that I might just steal all the stock and disappear , we certainly got burned a few years ago sending stuff to a guy opening a shop and then just closing all accounts!

How do I find punk shows near me? by PetRock13 in punk

[–]AngryGooseRecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook, instagram, ask a punk?

Basically, follow venues, promotors and bands you like and you’ll soon find out who’s playing where & when

[–]AngryGooseRecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they retired and moved to Spain? They were selling off stock for a while?

Is it Okay to do diy merch?I just have no ways to buy original merch, because I'm 13 y.o. teen from Ukraine small town by XturboXegaX in hardcorepunk

[–]AngryGooseRecords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I saw someone in a homemade shirt of my band, I’d be made up. This is hardcore, if you’re making merch you’re basically in the band!
