Martin - Broken Binding - Album
Martin's first full release album is a corker from start to finish. Paul, Martin, Charles, Gary and Alec prove that they can write Ska Punk tunes to match the likes of Snuff, Edna's Goldfish and NOFX. Tunes that stand out, and there are plenty here, include Your Fault, Too Fast, and Watch My Back. If you want to hear some very cool Ska Punk you will find that Martin deliver the goods. Hear Martin in the Music section.

Rachel Stamp - Stampax - Live Album
This is Rachel Stamp's first ever live album and it sure beats the usual batch of live releases because this actually sounds like the band. Featuring plenty of hits and a lot of tracks that are pretty hard to come by now, it's a must for all Stamp Fans. David and the crew rip through an impressive set of 13 tracks which include favourite Dead Girl, Queen Bee, Hey Hey Michael your really fantastic and Je Suis Maisee. Only available to buy on their internet site, so get it quick since it's a limited edition! Click here to enter the world of Rachel Stamp.

Face To Face - Reactionary - Album
When it comes to punk rock it doesn't get any better than this. Face To Face have been kicking around for quite a while now. In fact they have been making records well before it was cool to be in a Punk Rock band. What you get here is some of the best melodic punk rock you are ever likely to hear. Trever Keith shows just what a good punk song should be about. Stand out tracks include Disappointed, Out of Focus and Solitaire. If you don't go and buy this you might as well as start going to Steps gigs.
