Having closed last year by playing to 30,000 people on their largest UK headline tour to date, Punk Rock Factory now look to an even bigger future by going back to 1999 with their take on S Club 7’s poptastic #1 smash Bring It All Back. The track comes as Punk Rock Factory prepare to drop their new album All Hands On Deck on February 14th.
Punk Rock Factory
It’s no easy feat putting your own stamp on one of the biggest hits of the era, but that’s precisely what Punk Rock Factory have achieved here. Launching a fireball of chugging riffs and slamming skate-punk energy while keeping the fun factor of one of the most irresistible choruses ever, the band deliver a killer calling card for their upcoming album as well as a crowd-pleasing highlight for future live shows. The song’s lyrics – of striving to always do your best regardless of what obstacles may stand in the way – also reflects Punk Rock Factory’s own story.
Vocalist/guitarist Peej says: “Bring It All Back is an absolute ’90s anthem. When we were choosing songs for the album this one was a no brainer. S Club 7 had a real knack for releasing catchy bangers, so it was right up our street and had to be done!”
S Club’s Jo O’ Meara adds: “It’s always an honour when one of our songs is worthy of a cover version! It’s so interesting to hear it done this way! I am defo gonna be rocking out to this one!! Great job guys.”
Punk Rock Factory have previewed All Hands On Deck with attention-grabbing takes B*Witched’s ‘C’est La Vie’ (Lindsay Armaou and Edele Lynch even joined the Factory on-stage at the recent Manchester show), Take That classic Back For Good, and The Backstreet Boys’ anthem Larger Than Life. It will surely make the album their most impactful collection to date, having already established cult-level adoration with 750,000 followers at TikTok and unforgettable festival sets at Download, Bloodstock and Slam Dunk.

Punk Rock Factory will celebrate the release of the album with an extensive UK in-store tour. They will then take their Stick To The Covers tour to Germany and the Netherlands in March. Their schedule also includes the O2 Academy Brixton as very special guests to Elvana (10th May), Funeral For A Friend’s all-Welsh Cardiff Castle event (19th July) and the Austrian punk festival Sbam (30th-31st May).
