AS WE SINK

Fitzherberts, Brighton. Thursday 28th February

A free night of punk rock in the upstairs of a pub is something that can never be argued with, especially when homegrown talent like As We Sink are involved. Making a name for themselves nationwide and further with the digital release of their EP 'Ventures', As We Sink play catchy post-hardcore tinged punk in a similar vein to bands like Make Do And Mend and The Movielife. Also featured tonight are Brighton based River Jumpers who will be loved by fans of Millencolin and  Goldfinger. (CB)

THE BRONX

Concorde 2, Brighton. Friday 8th February

The last time The Bronx visited Brighton they played a packed show at Concorde 2 and an acoustic set in the Vans shop, both as their mariachi alter-egos. This time they return to their hardcore punk origins as part of a UK tour to promote their forthcoming album, simply entitled 'The Bronx' (just like the last three were). They bring with them Canadian indie punk noise makers Single Mothers for their much anticipated overseas debut. (CB)

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND

The Haunt, Brighton. Monday 4th February

The fact Funeral For A Friend are playing a venue of this size may be saying something about their waning popularity in the past few years, but hey, I can certainly think of another Welsh rock group who lost a lot more fans recently. Despite the band having only two original members left, fans both old and new will be excited to hear what their sixth album 'Conduit' is going to bring to the table. Main support comes from the incredible Such Gold  who's album 'Misadventures' was one of 2012's pop-punk highlights. (CB)
