Vive Le Rock: Terry Hall, Stiff Little Fingers, Grade 2, Anti-Flag and more.

Remembering Terry Hall, the latest issue of Vive Le Rock also features Stiff Little Fingers, Wingmen, The Bar Stool Preachers and Grade 2.

Plus I spoke to Chris #2 to profile Anti-Flag and their great new album Lies They Tell Our Children.

But it’s sold out online already, so you’ll have to track it down in a newsagent.

Vive Le Rock: Amyl and the Sniffers, John Lydon, Bob Vylan, Loop, Cancer Bats and more

Amyl and The Sniffers take the cover for the latest issue of Vive Le Rock magazine, which also features John Lydon, Bob Vylan, Altered Images, Rhoda Dakar, Chelsea and Anti-Nowhere League.

Plus there are articles on Jordan, John McGeoch, punk in Northern Ireland and a few words from me on great new albums from Loop and Cancer Bats.
