Punk Rock Factory Drop Latest LP ‘All Hands On Deck’

Recent weeks have seen Punk Rock Factory detonate banger-after-banger of turbocharged takes on ‘90s classics such as C’est La Vie, Back For Good, Larger Than Life and Bring It All Back. But now the Punk Rock Factory’s punk rock party bursts into life with today’s release of their biggest album so far, All Hands On Deck. What’s more, the band also today announce that they will sail into February 2026 by confirming details of the We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat tour – their biggest UK headline tour so far.

Hit play on All Hands On Deck to light the fuse and hear Punk Rock Factory go boom with their incendiary take on DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince hit Boom! Shake The Room – the album’s new focus track. The rest of the album shoots through an exhilarating rush in which familiar favourites are given a frenetic new double-dopamine shot of intensity. And by the time they end with a thrilling final three of Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise, Ricky Martin’s Livin’ La Vida Loca and Massive Attack’s Teardrop, Punk Rock Factory have mixed the attitude and ferocious pace of the classic Fat Wreck / Epitaph bands with a humour and a lust-for-life that’s contagious.

Punk Rock Factory shared the story behind the album in last week’s Rock Sound cover feature. As vocalist Peej Edwards told them: “We did this to have fun. And now, we have accidentally become this positive influence that people have latched onto. To genuinely help people come out the other side of these dark moments in their lives whilst playing these guilty pleasures for them to sing along to, that’s really rewarding.”

All Hands On Deck looks set to become the Factory’s highest charting album, and fans can help them achieve that goal by buying the album. Signed copies, collectible vinyl and extended tour edition CD provide something for all tastes.

Punk Rock Factory celebrate the release of All Hands On Deck with an instore tour that begins in their home city of Cardiff this evening, but the full PRF experience follows in February 2026 with their biggest headline tour so far. Tickets have just gone on general sale. There’s plenty more Factory fun to be had in the meantime, though, with next month’s European headline tour, a selection of summer festivals, and huge support shows as guests to Bowling For Soup, Funeral For A Friend and Elvana.

Frank Black Celebrates 30 Years Of ‘Teenager Of The Year’ At The London Palladium

Architects Give London’s O2 Arena So Much More Than Whiplash

The O2 Arena is dark. A rumble transforms into what sounds like an air raid siren. Bass drones stab through, in time with bars of light above and below the stage. Shimmers appear further back, casting shadows. Electro beats kick in. Suddenly, just for a moment, the lights and sound cut out; a deep breath before the synths of Elegy begin. Spotlights hit Sam Carter as he starts to sing, the rest of the stage still murky.

MC50 Announce Explosive Live Album ‘10 MORE’ – Out December 5th

Legendary Detroit rock pioneers MC50 – the modern incarnation of the MC5, led by the late founding guitarist Wayne Kramer – have announced a brand-new live album, 10 MORE, set for release on 5th December. The record captures the unrelenting power and political punch of the band’s acclaimed 2018 world tour, which reignited the revolutionary energy that first made the MC5 one of rock’s most radical and influential forces.

EMF, Jesus Jones & Bis Bring Britpop Energy Back To O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire

It was a full-on ‘90s Brit legends night at West London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, with three bands who made their mark during the decade proving they’ve still got plenty of spark left. Throw in a few special guests and a crowd that was up for it from the first note, and you’ve got one of those nights that remind you just how much fun live music can be.

Wyatt Flores Brings Honest Heart And Sharp Style To London’s Roundhouse

On a crisp October night at London’s Roundhouse, Wyatt Flores stepped onto the stage to a roaring crowd, his name echoing around the vaulted room with a force that surprised even him. Supporting 49 Winchester on their UK run, the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter might technically have been the opener, but from the reaction that greeted him, it was clear many had come just as much for Wyatt.

From Russell County To Camden Town: 49 Winchester’s Triumphant Roundhouse Performance

Virginia’s 49 Winchester transformed Camden’s Roundhouse into a celebration of straight-from-the-heart Americana. Early in the set, frontman Isaac Gibson acknowledged to the audience that this was the band’s first sold-out night on the tour and the response from the crowd made clear how much the moment meant to everyone in the room.

Echobelly Bring ON To Life At The Electric Ballroom – A Triumphant Celebration Of Britpop’s Enduring Spirit

It’s been three decades since Echobelly released ON, the Britpop-era gem that cemented them as one of the most vital and distinctive voices of the mid-90s. On Thursday night at London’s Electric Ballroom, the band — fronted by the magnetic Sonya Madan and founding guitarist Glenn Johansson — returned to Camden to celebrate that legacy, playing the album in full to a sold-out crowd that sang, swayed, and grinned their way through one of the most joyous nostalgia trips of the year.

Not Naïve – The Kooks Are Always Where They Need To Be At London’s O2 Arena

Brighton Indie Pop darlings The Kooks played quite possibly the biggest and best show of their 20 year career at The O2 Arena on Saturday night. A night of nostalgia, of celebration and of cementing themselves as one of the best British bands formed in the 21st century.

New Found Glory Never Miss, Only Hit At O2 Academy Birmingham

There’s something about a New Found Glory show that feels like coming home. No matter how many years have passed or how much life has changed, when those opening chords hit, you’re right back where it all started — shouting lyrics with your friends, sweaty, smiling, and completely lost in the moment.
