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.

Now, with the release of their tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal, Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard once again prove they’re unafraid to venture into uncharted territory.

Download Festival Is More Than Just the Metal

I’ve been attending Download Festival since 2005. Every year, as I walk through those gates, I feel something that can be difficult to explain to people who have never experienced it. For a few days each June, I stop feeling like I’m standing on the outside looking in. I belong.

Lucia & The Best Boys Continue Their Rise With A Spellbinding O2 Shepherd’s Bush Performance

Fresh from an acclaimed appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival, Lucia & The Best Boys arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with momentum firmly on their side. Opening for the reunited 4 Non Blondes, the Glasgow quartet seize the opportunity with a commanding seven-song set that feels less like a support slot and more like a statement of intent.

4 Non Blondes Return On Their Own Terms At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire

More than three decades after their breakthrough, 4 Non Blondes arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire not to relive the past, but to redefine themselves in the present. Supported by the excellent Lucia & The Best Boys, the reunited San Francisco outfit make it abundantly clear that this tour is not a nostalgia exercise. Instead, it is a bold statement of who they are now — and whether the audience is willing to come with them.

Snow Patrol @ Eden Sessions (Adam Smith)

Snow Patrol Complete The Hat-Trick At Eden Sessions In An Evening Of Heart, Humour And Hits

There are few concert settings in Britain as naturally dramatic as the Eden Sessions. Nestled within a former clay pit and framed by the iconic biomes of the Eden Project, the venue possesses a unique sense of occasion before a note is even played. On this June evening, the Cornish weather appears determined to play its part too. Persistent rain hangs over the site for much of the day, only to disappear almost on cue as Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid walk on stage. It feels as though somebody has edited the weather into the evening’s script.
