Next Friday the 4th of September, we release “Beige Fest” ⚡️⚡️⚡️

This is the first single from our new album ‘Nothing Is Punk Anymore’ arriving September 18th 2026.

This song is a celebration of 28 years of this band.

It’s also a giant ‘Fuck You!’ to the corporatised, homogenised and nefarious energies at play within the music industry.

Rejoice or lament - either way, just listen 💫

The new ATFN album is finished! “Nothing Is Punk Anymore” is a protest record about music, creativity, and what happens when art becomes little more than content.

We’ve already self-funded the recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, merch and everything needed to get here. Now we need help raising R135000 to release it properly and take it on tour.

We’ve launched a BackaBuddy campaign with limited bundles, cd, original artwork prints from each of the 9 songs, and even a limited “Song Patron” tier.

One track — our cover of Johnny Clegg’s “Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World” we did with @hunterkennedy.music , @iamjaybones and @steph_for_king — will help fund a children’s home in Pretoria.

If you’ve ever supported ATFN, come to a show, bought merch, or believed in independent music, this is how you help bring the next chapter into the world.

Nothing Is Punk Anymore - Let it not be so.

In 2016, The Bass Communion started off as a Weekly Wednesday Radio show on Arc radio in a bedroom and gained so much momentum that by the powers that be: we had our first event at the Legendary Arcade Empire (RIP).

Since then we've been pushing the boundaries and vibes. But we ain't done yet! 👁️

Enjoy this piece of nostalgia. 🔥🔥🔥

Come through and be a part of something different!! 😤🔥

👀 Next Event: Bass Communion x @tinytrance at @urban_oasis_jhb 👀

She’s a rock star—not the kind with a guitar, but the kind who somehow juggles life, work, dogs, writing lyrics, and still has time to drag me through my toughest days.

From teaching me patience (through dogs, nogal) to reminding me that the best times are the messy, loud, and lekkuh ones—she’s been a solid pillar in my life.

Some friends just stand out—not because they’re loud, but because they’re steady, and you only realize later how much they’ve shaped your story. Cheers to one of my best friends—still waiting for the world to catch on to how legendary you really are 🤘🏻

29 - I am obliterated, summoned to divine becoming.

And what a fine, lonely, magical, triumphant, freeing experience it is.

Herewith a list of the attachments necessary for growth;

1. My Orange Color Queen moment - expression is key to less self-hostility.
2. A Godmother’s pride.
3. The Babygirl Bunch.
3. 'n Brannewyn bokkie.
4. This doesn't even demonstrate half of what my shoulders carry.
5. Talking hands or talking heads?
6. Simple pleasures are free.
7. A return to the original frequency.
8. Chimneys of chuckles.
9. Niece with a niché.
10. Soulbabe.

We’re fucking done with that toss. We’re tired of the gatekeeping and we’re certainly not going to be complicit in a music driven war machine. Fuck that. We encourage our friends who feel the same, to do the same.

Peace out @spotify. As @fatmikedude once said. - “you wont be seeing me again”.

Catch you at the next show and be safe - its wild out there.

One of Jozi’s most adored punk bar/venues @smokingkillsbar is under threat and needs your help.

Please sign the petition to help keep one of the absolute last true punk/rock/alt/queer venues in Gauteng open.

Venues all over the country are under threat financially, and some are just under threat for existing.

Thank you all and fuck you eternally to the geriatrics at the Mellville Residence association. You’ve been a pest for local art for decades.

Love from @atfn012 , @theslashdogs and @behatedmusic and all the various bands Ive played in that have been housed by this fine establishment over the years.
