Despite the exotic name, Brigada Mercy are a Yorkshire-based folk-punk band, and “Roto Chico” is their first quick snatch for the Levellers’ rusting crown.

Wade McNeil takes time off from Alexisonfire to put together Black Lungs and, in the form of Send Flowers, produces one of the most authentic and honest punk albums in years.

Crusty-punk stalwarts The Levellers return to form with their consciously political tenth studio album, Letters From the Underground.

Wade McNeil’s Black Lungs will cover you in phlegmy gobbets of folk-punk fury on five UK dates. Take an umbrella?
