BANGING DRUMS: THE ARCHIVES (AND SOME NEW STUFF!)
Banging Drums has been around since 2012, albeit on a fairly rare basis for much of that time!
I originally started it when I was out of work, with the idea of creating a punk-style fanzine in blog form. Looking back, I’m not sure the idea translated quite as well as I’d hoped, but along the way I managed to collect a load of interviews with bands and some genuinely cool people.
Then I started working again, life took over, and the blog gradually took a back seat.
Around 2022, I had another go at getting things moving, but for one reason or another, it never really got off the ground.
Fast-forward to 2026, and here we go again!
As we head towards 2027, I’ll have spent somewhere in the region of 37 years collecting music, records and memorabilia. Alongside that, I’ve spent 14 years working in the events industry, which has given me plenty of experiences, encounters and stories of my own along the way.
So, welcome to the third incarnation of Banging Drums: THE ARCHIVES!
And yes, there’ll be some new stuff thrown into the mix, too.
