It's been quiet, it'll get louder

It's been a bit quiet on this website for a while (we mostly just post on Insta and Facebook these days), but the gig page has been updated with probably our last gigs of 2025.

Looking ahead, 2026 will be our 20th anniversary year, so we're planning some exciting stuff throughout to celebrate, starting in January! Watch this space...

Portland Arms Strawberry Fair Portland Ballroom fundraiser

We're not playing at Strawberry Fair itself this year (had a great time opening the Portland Ballroom Stage last year tho); but we ARE thrilled to be playing this fundraiser on 28 April, alongside Thy Last Drop, For The Hornets and Shifty Statues!

It's an early start (4.30pm). Gonna be a blast!

It's Monster Time! New single out 27 October

It's been a while since we've released new music... but here it is! Our new single, out this week, 'Monster Time'! A heady glam/punk-stomper full of Hallowe'en-shaped fun (although it's pretty much always Hallowe'en here at Scissor HQ), with a retro horror video to go with it!
