Oh shit when we say train hopping over here we don't mean the same thing as in the states, we mean getting on passenger trains without a ticket, also called bunking the train. Probably should of specified that. Anyone got any experience of Malta? Would quite like to go check that place out...

Ok, so I've been based in Bristol, England for quite a bit of the last year. I've been squatting but it's pretty much died out there since the law change in 2011/12/whenever it was. There were some good times but the last 2 squats we had fell apart because of peoples bullshit drama macho shit. I...

Think I'm gonna head out to mainland Europe again fairly soon, need some inspiration for where to go though... anyone know any cool places they recommend? Radical farms, beautiful landscapes, good squatting communities, street festivals, good folk/metal/punk scene etc.? Pretty burned out on...

I'd be very careful trying to hop a train in the UK... the tracks are electrified and trains are a lot faster than in the states... also there is no history of train hopping so if you're caught on the tracks (which is probably pretty likely considering the amount of CCTV in this country) people...

Fuck yeah, this gives me an excuse to finally get across and do some travelin in Ireland.

I'm Megabussin' from London to Amsterdam next Wednesday probably. Not really sure what my plans are atm. Just gonna try and catch up with my friends Rail Yard Ghosts and see what happens.

Can’t decide whether to try and make my own perfect backpack or if that’s more trouble than it’s worth… I’d want it to close with a drawstring and then have a flap over to top. Maybe a couple of side-pockets and some straps to attach roll mat on the top. Capacity enough to fit my sleeping bag...

Hey folks, I came across this guide and thought it was a really cool idea. http://www.alpharubicon.com/prepinfo/ponchotent.htm I got fed up of lugging my normal tent around. More often than not we find people are willing to have us stay in their house or squat or whatever or the weather is...

Thanks man Turns out my friend I'm going traveling has a bunch of blogs of his previous travels haha. I'll share them here. Various: http://inbetweendrinking.tumblr.com/ France: http://tristanisabumder.tumblr.com/ Ukraine: http://ukrainebetweendrinking.tumblr.com/ Ireland...

Was wondering if anyone knew of any decent blogs of folks traveling in Europe? Looking more for dirty broke punk sorta approach rather than your standard backpacker with a planned journey and staying in hostels etc. haha.

ah okay no worries. I know fuck all about these things. I think I'll probably just use public and other peoples computers as and when I can and do what I can on my phone.

Thanks man that's real helpful. We're getting Ferry to St. Malo and then heading south east basically. We're setting off on the 6th, getting the overnight ferry. We're trying to get to Barcelona for the 13th because one friend has to be back in UK for the 14th so he's getting a plane back so...

I hate winter and this shitty English weather. Me and a couple mates are gonna hitch through France to Barcelona and then probably head to southern Spain after that. Anyone know any cool places for dirty broke punx to go check out? we're taking our instruments with us to busk. We play folk...

It's all about Lowkey when it comes to radical political hip-hop

REC3 is kinda alright but nowhere near as good as 1 and 2. They give up on the found footage style like 20mins in which seemed kinda lazy to me...

my favorites are REC1 and REC2. They're Spanish so you gotta read subtitles. There are American versions called Quarantine but not as good. Defo go for the Spanish ones instead. Basically about a zombie outbreak confined to an apartment building.

I'm getting restless... I might actually try and head head somewhere in February... anyone know somewhere warm that's good for busking and good hidden places to sleep or real cheap places to sleep?

I'll be traveling round Europe at some point next year hopefully. This summer I hitched through France, Belgium & Netherlands. It was awesome. Next year I want to travel for longer and more casually (we were going somewhere new every day, it was well tiring, I wanna stop in places for a few days...

Yeah I played a show in the Red & Black Umbrella the other day, it was friggin' amazing! beautiful space ran by beautiful people.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Is this still happening? Still want volunteers? I'm looking for places to go to avoid the UK winter...

For Nottingham try the SUMAC Centre: http://blogs.xtreamlab.net/sumac/ For York: https://www.facebook.com/bgbyork Den Bosch: https://www.facebook.com/knoflookdb Amsterdam: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Molli-Chaoot/138852549489338?fref=ts

I enjoy it when you've got someone with you and doing it every once in a while. I just got back from hitching round Europe for like 3 weeks a couple weeks ago. Because we only had 3 weeks and wanted to see as much of Europe as we could we were hitching pretty much every day and it got really...

yeah this guy is a fucking prick.

man that's awesome! I need to get a place like this...

yeah Cider is the fuckin' bomb. It's all about Scrumpy Jacks.

I'll be doing a bunch of travelling about hopefully, UK mostly, then got some gigs in the Netherlands, then back to the UK, go busking down Sidmouth during the Folk Festival Week and then busking outside Rebellion at the end of that week. Then I might go to Europe again.

You should have visited some smaller towns, they're generally way better for busking. And it's not legal to drink in most city centres over here, if you're caught doing it the pigs will probably take your alcohol. But yeah, the weathers shit and so are a lot of the people. If the weather's shit...

I read the book 'Round Ireland With A Fridge' by Tony Hawks (not the skateboarder, the comedian) and basically he see's this guy trying to hitch-hike with a fridge and is like "WTF ain't nobody gonna pick up someone hitch-hiking with a fridge" and then he gets into a bet with his mate and...

LOLwat

That sounds cool man, you got any stuff online? I'd love to have a read of it. I haven't really got much money to get any new stuff at the moment, especially considering you're overseas (I'm based in UK) and postage will probably cost quite a lot.

Yeah SFH are totally my sort of music, I played a show with them here in Basingstoke the other week haha. I have a gig in Reading on the 23rd though so won't be able to go to that one.

Hey there folks, I've started up my own distro. I'm still kinda getting to grips with it cuz I've never really done anything like this before so if anyone has any advice that's welcomed. It's mainly acoustic folk-punk sorta stuff at the moment because that's the kind of music me and my friends...

I'm currently based in Basingstoke, living with my dad and he goes to Bristol pretty much every weekend so I can get a lift there off him most weekends if there's ever anything decent going on there or you wanna meet up.

I'm kinda tied to the UK at the moment because I have gigs coming up at the end of the month and stuff but always up for going on week-long trips about the UK if any of you want a partner! I went on a 2 week busking tour with my friend a few weeks back and it was awesome, we always busked up...

Boomtown lineup definitely looks good! my friends band Will Tun & The Wasters are playing. You should check them out if you're into folk punk sorta stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KVfjmOs6C8o

ah cheers for the advice man! sounds like a good idea. this is where I've got my gigs listed: www.ashvictim.co.uk/gigs so; Bearded Theory, The Last Jubilee, Punk By The Sea, Basingstoke Live, and not playing but gonna go to Beautiful Days festival as well.

Oh hey there RockerBilly, yeah we've messaged each other a few times haven't we? I've got quite a few festivals and gigs I'm playing at about England this summer so gonna be busking in the towns between em as I go to each one. This might be a long shot but I think I'm gonna attempt to hitch...

Hey there, I'm based in the UK and planning to go off travelling around the country, busking from town to town in about a months time. There doesn't seem to be as many places online about travelling in the UK as there are for the US, seems like it's more popular there. This is my first time...

I've just released a new album myself, you might like it, you might hate it... http://ashvictim.bandcamp.com/album/making-sense-talking-nonsense Hope you don't mind the shameless self-promotion LOL

Johnny Hobo & The Freight Trains/Wingnut Dishwashers Union/Ramshackle Glory/everything on the Savage Wasteland Collective Mischief Brew Asking For It/The Anorexic Olsen Twin/This Is A Robbery and loads more I cba to list. I love all that sorta shit.

BTW when I say I'm gonna go off travelling I'm thinking of sticking to the UK for this year at least. Might as well explore the country I'm living in and get some experience before going off to other countries!

Yeah I've heard of the Cowley club, haven't been there yet though, definitely intend to though. I've been to Bristol quite a lot because my dads girlfriend lives there but I haven't really explored it at all, will probably go off and do that next time I'm there and maybe go busking if you don't...

Hey there, I just signed up to the board. I'm a 19 year old kid from Jersey Channel Island, a little rock about 15 miles from the west coast of France. We speak English there though. And yeah it's that place where apparently a bunch of kids got abused some time before I was born and where rich...
