LIVE: Marmozets / Goo @ Dingwalls

Seven years is a long time to hold your breath. Dingwalls is packed to its sweat-slicked rafters with fans clutching £8 pints who’ve been waiting since 2018 for Marmozets to return, and the air crackles with the kind of nervous excitement that only comes when a beloved

LIVE: Kid Kapichi @ Headrow House, Leeds

If memory serves me right, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Kid Kapichi show in Leeds that hasn’t been a sell out. Tonight is no exception. With the release of their latest album ‘Fearless Nature’, they’re back up north again for a very intimate show at Headrow

LIVE: The Wonder Years / Free Throw @ O2 Forum Kentish Town

Delayed mourning hangs in the atmosphere at O2 Forum Kentish Town. The Wonder Years are at the end of their four date run of the UK to celebrate the re-issue of ‘No Closer To Heaven’, and after their spring US tour they’ll be going on an indefinite hiatus. Of

LIVE: Sabaton / The Legendary Orchestra @ The O2 Arena

With Sabaton’s “The Legendary Tour” taking them to some of the biggest arenas they’ve ever played on these shores, there was one question that needed answering heading into the first night of the UK leg in London – how many tanks would they manage to squeeze onto the O2

LIVE: Halestorm, Bloodywood & Kelsy Karter @ The O2, London

There’s no big pre-show drama at The O2 tonight; just a steady stream of people arriving early and settling in. The mix is wide: long-term fans in band tees, younger gig-goers clearly here for the full bill, and the usual London crowd who treat arena shows as

LIVE: PENGSHUi @ The Black Heart

The Black Heart is already close to boiling point by the time doors properly open. Camden on a Friday night is chaotic enough, but inside the venue there’s a different kind of anticipation: the sort that comes from a line-up built for noise, sweat and very little standing still.

LIVE: Malevolence / SPEED / Dying Wish / PSYCHOFRAME @ O2 Academy, Brixton

Watching Sheffield’s Malevolence close out their European tour at Brixton’s O2 Academy is something else entirely. The atmosphere builds from the moment the doors swing open, as bodies press towards the barrier, filling the venue with that particular brand of anticipation that only comes with a tour closer. The

LIVE: Hot Milk / Cassyette @ the Roundhouse

We experienced the first pathetic snowfall of the year in the capital this morning, so naturally it felt apropos to round off the day with something fiery – the kind of music to make you emphatically aware of the blood coursing through your veins. Since Hot Milk entered their

LIVE: The Offspring @ the O2, London

From starting our as falsetto firebrands exposing social wrongs, the Offspring have settled into their niche as punk rock’s jolly uncles, cranking out jokes as readily as they drop an MTV era riff. Their staying power has resulted in possibly their most family-friendly incarnation yet, judging by the number

LIVE: Electric Callboy @ Alexandra Palace

As one night stands go, there’s unlikely to be another bigger, or messier, evening than Electric Callboy’s only UK date on their Tanzneid World Tour. The irreverent electro-pop-metallers set the bar incredibly high at this year’s Slam Dunk Festival – so we’ve slathered ourselves in glitter, donned our finest
