What is Shonk?

The Shonk / Shonkphonics Records is a DIY label based in Newport South Wales. It supports outsider artists by promoting their music, managing Bandcamp and providing affordable rehearsal space. We have been writing holistic music reviews and putting on shows in our hometown since 2018.

We host monthly jam nights at Shonk HQ. Before long we hope to host live bands, record their performance and interview the members, all to be made available online.
