A very calm and peaceful Beacon Tarn this morning. Went up there bright an early for a quick swim. Not a bad way to start the day!

Mostly into punk music, going to gigs and festivals, booze, mountain biking, hiking, being outdoors in general. Bit of an animal/wildlife nerd. Often anti-social, always anti-fascist. (S)Cumbria, UK
Skint Knees were ace at Rebellion. Certainly a band I'll be looking to go and see again in future. This is worth a read.
Molly Tie@mollytie.bsky.social · 2d agoNew post!!! Punk Rock Philosophy spoke to Sheffield's riot grrrl trio Skint Knees about their local scene, their values as a band & the time one of them was in Green Day! 😲 Did you see them at Rebellion?Give the post a read and give the band your support! 👇 punkrockphilosophy.com/only-punk-ro...
Went to see Ruts Dc playing at The Ferret in Preston last night. Great little venue, can't believe I haven't been there before. Ruts DC were on great form as always. Department S were the support band and they were pretty good too.
The line up for Morecambe punk festival in November is pretty fucking spectacular!
Yesterday's camping trip at Turner Hall. Hotter than expected so I couldn't resist a dip in the river!
All set for a nice relaxing day and night at Turner Hall campsite. Much needed after last weekends fun and games at Rebellion 🍺🏕
Nice to bump into my old buddy Carol Hodge at Rebellion. Known each other side we were teenagers in the late 90s and its been cool to see her progress from various local bands back then to doing the Crass thing with Steve Ignorant all over the world now. Not to mention her solo work too.
Well Rebellion was fantastic and exhausting as it normally is. No idea how many bands I saw over the 4 days, but it was lots! A good mix of great new discoveries and old favorites. Highlights for me were Smoking Fingers, Grail Guard, Yakkie, The Jungles, Skint Knees, The Gakk, Spunk and The Restarts
Rebellion so far. Pre 11am pint (bad move), Rebellion Festival flag on top of Blackpool Tower, Smoking Fingers (contenders for best band of the weekend already!) and shit loads of pigeons next to my accommodation 🐦
New tune from The Skints is pretty cool. Definitely looking forward to seeing what they've cooked up when the new album comes out youtu.be/55vYjuROhRY?...

1 week until the annual pilgrimage to Blackpool for Rebellion festival!!! 🍺🤪🎶
First attempt at paddleboarding today. Very enjoyable although I didn't manage to stand up on it because it was windy and the water was choppy as fuck on Windermere. Still plenty of fun sat down. Next time!
First festival of the year tomorrow! Feels like it's been ages since I last went to a proper outdoor festival. Think Bearded Theory 2024 might have been the last one. Looking forward to going slightly feral 😼
Fridays trip to my favorite campsite. Spent most of the day in Loughrigg Tarn due to the heat ☀️
FINALLY got to give the new Olivia Rodrigo album a spin. It's been absolute torture having it sat in the house since it was released last Friday but I've not had any spare time to listen to records until today. Amazing emotional roller coaster of an album. Very different to her previous 2 albums.

Some bits and bobs from Skunk Anansie and Garbage last night. Really enjoyed that gig. Cool to see both bands still going strong and both with plenty of important things to say. Enjoyed the support band Du Blonde too.
Just got back from Skunk Anansie and Garbage playing at Halifax Piece Hall and Wow! That was pretty special!
Few pictures from North West Calling yesterday. Subhumans, Bar Stool Preachers and UK Subs. Charlie being a fucking legend at 82 years young! #punk #northwestcalling #punkmusic
Obligatory video of UK Subs doing Warhead with Wattie from The Exploited at North West Calling yesterday. #punk #uksubs #northwestcalling
North West Calling today. Struggling to get motivated even though I booked my ticket about a year ago! Be fine when I get there, just feel like I could do with a weekend of doing absolutely nothing for a change. I'd be bored within 10 minutes if I did have a weekend like that though. Can't win!
My squirrel buddy is looking rather soggy today! Think it's angry because I've run out of nuts too! #wildlife #animals #greysquirrel
Fun day drinking, eating and walking many miles around York yesterday. Even treated myself to a ride on the big wheel thing despite not being keen on heights. Time for some rest and relaxation at home before heading to Lancaster tomorrow to see the mighty Ruts DC playing at Kanteena!
Devoke Water this morning. Quite a short walk but the scenery made it worthwhile.
