Stinky's Shout Outs

JANUARY 2026

Good day to all Rejects supporters everywhere, wishing you a happy 2026.
The show at Dingwalls last month was a belter, was great to play Greatest Hits Volume 1 in its entirety. The second set of Rejects classics was also full on, a big thankyou to all who came out that night to make it a packed audience. We are pleased to announce that we will be playing the same format at La Belle Angele in Edinburgh on Saturday November 28th. Also got some UK club shows lined up this year and they will be announced in the next few weeks.
We head to Paris this weekend and always good to get a new year off to a good start. Looking forward to all shows this year, we are all very grateful for the support and passion from our loyal followers wherever we play.
I hope 2026 is gonna be a blinder.
Keep punching, much respect,
Stinky

December 2025

Good day to all Rejects supporters everywhere.
What a great November! Geneva was a great show, Sound of Evolution also. A brilliant festival with a fine mix of hardcore and punk bands. Belgrade was absolutely mental in the best possible way. A sold out show and the passion from the audience was right up there with anywhere we have ever played, one of the best shows and best crowd in our history, a night we shall always remember. We are now on the countdown to Dingwalls in London on Saturday December 20th. We start rehearsals early next week and really excited about the whole event. I will add that there are not many tickets left so if anybody out there is thinking of coming along jump on it quick!!!!! I have began work on my second book provisionally titled ‘I love being me’ with esteemed writer Guy Shankland. It will cover the tumultuous period from 2005 to the present. Hopefully a release for late spring/early summer 2026, watch this space!!!! Also a big thanks to everybody who has signed up to my Rough and Ready Patreon channel. Putting together content is tougher than I initially thought it would be but its extremely enjoyable. Much more coming your way over the coming months so please get on board if you can.
I will put out an Xmas shoutout just after Dingwalls.
Thank you all massively for your support and loyalty.
Much respect

November 2025
Good day to all Rejects supporters everywhere.
October was a relatively quite month, just 2 shows. The Factory in Worthing was really good and I thank everyone for coming out to make it a top night. The show at Fabric in Hamburg was a brilliant night, great show and fantastic audience. Into November and everything picking up nicely. 3 weekends on the bounce coming up with shows in Geneva on the 15th, Eindhoven on the 22nd and Belgrade on the 29th. Really looking forward to getting back on the stage and giving it some.
Really pleased that my Rough and Ready Patreon channel launched a couple of days ago and I'm really busy getting content together to keep it rolling. You'll find a link on the socials tab on these pages to take you there.
Don't forget to get your tickets for Dingwalls in London on Saturday December 20th!
Hope to have some breaking news early next month about another new venture!!!!!
Thankyou all for your fantastic support around the world,

October 2025

Good day to all Rejects supporters everywhere. Got some breaking news for October.

I will be launching my Patreon channel 'Stinky Turner Rough and Ready' which will include podcasts featuring issues on music, boxing, football and interviews with punk legends and various people from the above mentioned. It should all be up and running within the next 2 weeks. Don't forget to tune in and subscribe.

September was a terrific month. The show in Berlin at Punk and Disorderly was a real good one with a top bill. The Dublin show last weekend at the Grand Social was unforgettable. A sold out show with an absolutely amazing atmosphere. Brilliant people. The stage invasion for Bubbles will live with me forever. I would like to thank everybody who wanted photos and a chat at the end of the show, I am truly humbled. Absolute great people, it was a pleasure to be there.

We are off to Worthing tonight and then Hamburg in 2 weeks time. We will ramp up rehearsals for Dingwalls show in London on December 20th as got to get used to playing Greatest Hits Volume 1 from start to finish followed by a second set. Exciting times!!!

Once again thankyou to every Rejects follower out there for making all this possible, couldn’t do it without you.

Keep punching,

Yours,

Stinky

September 2025

Good day to all Rejects supporters everywhere.
August was a busy month! Kanal Rock in Norway, Bayfest in Italy and a stormer of a show at the BBB fest in Badalona, Catalonia. Topped it off with a short holiday with the missus and 3 of our grandkids in Tunisia. That was a disaster as from the moment we got there we all soon went down with a bug, loads of puking and severe case of the trots. I need a holiday to get over the holiday! Anyway onwards and upwards and a busy band period coming up. Sept 20th at Punk in Disorderly in Berlin with the mighty Sparrer, onto Dublin the following weekend (27th) at the Grand Social with Tear Up supporting then onto Worthing (October 3rd) with Criminal Damage supporting. Great to have new up and coming bands playing with us, definitely keeps you on your toes. Gonna be busy until Xmas which is always a touch, don't like long periods of inactivity. Really looking forward to meeting many old and new faces over the next few months, our supporters keep our fire burning, we couldn’t do it without you.

Much respect,

August 2025

Good day to all you Rejects supporters everywhere. Last month (July) was relatively quiet. Just the one show at Pod Parou fest in Czech Republic which was great. August is a busy one, last weekend we played Kanal Rock in Norway, excellent festival and loved the show. Tomorrow (Friday 8th) we play Bay Fest in Rimini Italy. Really looking forward to this one, its on the beach and the mighty Madball are playing too. Next week we travel to Badalona in Catalonia for the B,B and B fest. Top venue and its sold out. The machine is running well. In between we have been rehearsing Greatest Hits Vol 1 in preparation for our London Show at Dingwalls on Saturday Dec 20th. I must point out that we will be playing 2 sets that night, Vol 1 plus second set containing songs from Vol 2 and The Power And The Glory. I'm also excited to see Riskee And The Ridicule, our special Guests. Stay tuned to all Rejects Social Media for more announcements as we head towards the end of 2025.
Thankyou to everybody for your support.
Keep Punching,
Stinky

02 July 2025

Good day to all you Rejects supporters everywhere. Somehow I missed last months shoutout! Don’t know why but onwards and upwards.
May was a great month with the Zickenstock festival and the Vienna punk festival, both really good shows. The US tour was really good with stand out shows being the Regent theatre in LA and Punk Rock Bowling which really was a fantastic event and occasion, a massive thank you to everybody that turned out, it was brilliant. North West Calling was good and again a massive heads up to everybody who came.
We roll on to Pod Parou fest in Czech Republic on Friday 18th July. We have played this festival a couple of times previously over the years and really looking forward to performing there again.
In the early stages now of writing new material for the band with all 4 members playing a part, exciting times for us.
From August onwards the live schedule gets very busy leading all the way up to our London show at Dingwalls on Saturday December 20th. Another couple of European dates hopefully will be added in November, announcements to come soon!

Once again thankyou to everybody for your loyalty and support.

7th May 2025

Good day to all you Rejects supporters everywhere.
Reflecting on last month April I can say it was a mixed bag! Kilowatt fest in France was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic crowd and brilliantly organised, hopeful to return to Paris early next year. Leipzig was OK, marred by a prick of a promoter. It was touch and go making the journey as the above mentioned arsehole booked our flights under wrong names. We were initially told we couldn't fly but rather than fuck off with our tails between our legs we persevered and got clearance to fly with literally minutes to spare. Promoter did fuck all to help. Hired the wrong backline and never even saw him at the show. The ultimate wanker!!!!
Turned 61 years old the following weekend and that's when the doubts can creep in! Asking yourself as to whether your to old to do this thing? Weekend after in Glasgow for Scotland Calling blew any doubts away. The passion in Scotland is something to behold and makes you realise how fortunate you are to be able to do this. The reception was very humbling indeed. A brilliant day/night sharing the stage with fantastic bands.
We now move into May. Zickenstock in le Cateau France, one of our favourite festivals, our 4th appearance and the next night in Vienna for the Punks and Skins United fest. The week after we hit the USA, just been approved for our Visa’s and everything is 100 percent good to go so looking forward to kicking off at the Regent Theatre Los Angeles next week on Friday 16th. The process has been long but we cant wait to get there. Onwards and upwards.
Once again a massive thank you to all our supporters around the world who make this all possible.
Keep punching,
yours, Stinky

8th April 2025

Good day to all you Rejects supporters everywhere.

What a great month was magic March. 2 brilliant shows in Azpetia in the Basque Country and Tarrega in Catalonia. The festival in Aalst (Belgium) was brilliant. A lot of hard core bands played and always love a good mixture. The Scarborough punk festival was the bollocks. Fantastic venue, well organised and we were really overcome by the reception we received from the crowd, an unforgettable night. I truly believe we are getting better and better with each show, striving for perfection is the ultimate inspiration. Loads to look forward to in the coming months including the USA in May. Hopefully that might pave the way for an East coast tour for early 2026? Looking forward to every show that comes culminating at London Dingwalls on December 20th.

Once again thank you for everybody’s loyalty and support.

Keep punching,

Yours, Stinky

6th March 2025

Good day to all you Rejects supporters around the world.
First of all a big shout for all those who came to the Music Hall in Limassol a couple of weeks ago, was a great night, we loved it. We now move into March which starts a very busy period for the band. Was great to begin the month by officially announcing our London Show at Dingwalls on Saturday 20th December. The icing on the cake being that the superb Riskee and the Ridicule will be our special guests, they truly are one of best young bands around, a massive thanks to them. We turn our attention for the moment to March 14/15th where we will be playing Azpeitia in the Basque country on the 14th and The Adictes festival in Tarrega, Catalonia on the 15th. Always loved playing these places, plenty of passion, brilliant people, can’t wait to get there. We next appear the following weekend (Saturday 22nd) in Aalst Belgium following on the next weekend (Sunday 30th) at the Scarborough Punk festival. We last played there back in 2023 and this is a fantastic festival that just gets bigger and better every year. The band are very excited to move into busy times. Will be back to shout out at the beginning of April to update on another big month. Thank you to everybody for your time and support.

February 10th 2025

Good day to all you Rejects supporters around the world and wishing you a belated happy 2025.

What a great start to the new year! Last weekends show at the Fleece in Bristol was a belter and thanks to everyone who came and made it a great night.

Things start to busy up now and on we roll next to the Music Hall in Limassol in Cyprus on Friday 21st of February. Can’t wait for this. Never been to Cyprus before and to be going there for my first time to play a show is brilliant, bring it on!

Also a special announcement for London. This year is the 45th anniversary of the release of Greatest hits Volume 1. This album paved the way for us and personally my favourite Rejects album. We will be playing Dingwalls in Camden Town on Saturday 20th of December and will play Greatest Hits Volume 1 in its entirety from start to finish plus other songs from Greatest Hits Volume 2 and The Power And The Glory. Absolutely up for doing this. Support bands and ticket links will be announced within the next couple of weeks.

2024 was a fantastic year for us down to our loyal, dedicated supporters and hopefully this year can be even better!!!!! Will keep everyone posted as more shows are still being booked as I speak.

This how we Roll! Much Respect, keep Punching. Yours, Stinky
