STILL
LOUD.

Still here. Still not asking permission. A home for ageing rebels, fresh troublemakers, and anyone who's ever been told to turn it down.

01 / A public disservice announcement

PUNK'S NOT DEAD.
IT'S JUST BUSY.

They said we'd grow out of it. We grew older instead. The music is still loud, the politics are still personal, and the sensible shoes are frankly none of your business.

Welcome to punk.org.uk: part digital fanzine, part unofficial resistance headquarters, part excuse to shout about things. No corporate sponsors. No dress code. No compulsory nostalgia.

LATEST
DISPATCHES.

COMMUNIQUÉ 001

Rebellion now comes with reading glasses.

The spirit remains unbroken. The small print, however, is getting harder to read.

COMMUNIQUÉ 002

Three chords. Two knees. One revolution.

Still enough to start a band. Possibly not enough to get back up from the stage.

COMMUNIQUÉ 003

DIY is not a lifestyle brand.

Make something. Break a rule. Print a zine. Support a tiny venue. Refuse to become a marketing demographic.

03 / Terms and conditions of noncompliance

THE
MANIFESTO.

  1. Question authority. Especially if it's wearing a lanyard.
  2. Support independent music, art and people.
  3. Make your own culture. Don't wait for permission.
  4. Be loud. Be kind. Punch up, never down.
  5. Age is a number. Attitude is forever.
“You don't stop being punk when you turn fifty. You just become harder to impress.”

THE BLACK CAT
DIVISION.

All paws are political

Every respectable underground movement needs a couple of shadowy figures running things behind the scenes. Ours have whiskers.

BRAN

Head of Security & Strategic Napping. Large, black, gloriously hairy. Maintains a strict policy of suspicious staring, occupied beds and absolutely no accountability.

ARTHUR ♡

Chairman Emeritus, 2025. Bran's beloved brother. A magnificent black cat whose reign ended far too soon in August 2025. Gone from the room, never from the lineup.

The Black Cat Division accepts tribute in the form of food, comfortable furniture and the complete surrender of your personal space.
