Firestarters

Burn Hollywood Burn demonstrate why they're darlings of the punk underground when they descend on the Warzone Festival, Belfast (August 24 to 25); GZ Club, Dublin (29); High Stool, Limerick (30); Nancy Spain's, Cork (31); O'Malley's, Galway (September 1).

Hailing from Rouen in France, the band describe their oeuvre as "political hardcore assault" – something that's backed up by their new It Shouts And Sings With Life…Explodes With Love six-tracker.
