LIVE: Seahaven / Nai Harvest @ Birthdays, London [18/04/14]

Released last month, Seahaven’s ‘Reverie Lagoon: Music For Escapism Only’ more than lives up to its title. Moving in another direction entirely to their previous offerings, ‘Reverie…’ sees the band’s gentle quirks layered with a heap of echoing landscapes that could just as easily soundtrack a relaxing day

LIVE: Canterbury / Blitz Kids / Big Sixes @ Dingwalls, London [09/04/14]

Marking the end of their short stint around the UK, melody driven rockers Canterbury are about to grace the stage in front of a sell-out audience at Camden’s Dingwalls. With the release of their third full-length garnering critical acclaim, those patiently waiting in the snaking queue across the

LIVE: Architects/ Stray From The Path/ Northlane @ Solus, Cardiff [11/03/14]

Architects rock London Koko, photo by Graham Berry Tonight sees the mighty Architects hit Cardiff on their sold out UK tour. Their star is rising, and it’s obvious to everyone: whether it’s the hordes of teenagers waiting outside (at a time when most bands are desperately struggling to get people

LIVE: Yearbook / Brawlers / Gunning for Tamar @ Birthdays, London [07/03/2014]

There aren’t many things better than heading to a gig on a Friday night, after a long week of work. But when you discover said gig is free and the line-up boasts some of the best up and coming indie-punk bands of the moment, it’s an absolute no brainer.

The Lawrence Arms / The Copyrights / Elway @ Theatre of Living Arts, Philadelphia, PA

The Lawrence Arms, The Copyrights, Elway Thursday, March 06, 2014 at the Theatre of Living Arts, Philadelphia, PA A cold and dreary Thursday doesn’t seem like a great night to go to a show, but the Lawrence Arms and Co.’s recent outing made it completely worthwhile for Philadelphia punks

LIVE: Skindred/ The Blackout/ Hacktivist @ Newport Centre [08/03/14]

Tonight sees Newport’s finest reggae/rock titans Skindred return to their hometown, and it’s just as spectacular as expected. They’ve brought along some friends for the ride – The Blackout, Hacktivist, Feed The Rhino and Continents – and it’s very nearly an all-Welsh bill. Sadly we miss Continents and Feed

LIVE: Taking Back Sunday / Lonely The Brave @ Koko, London [26/02/14]

Any band, regardless of their genre, are destined to divide opinion. It is testament however, to both their adoring fan-base and their frustrated fan-base that Taking Back Sunday can incite drastically contrasting emotions at the same time. Ask anyone waiting outside London’s Koko on this cold evening

LIVE: Matt Pryor / Allison Weiss @ The Forum, Tunbridge Wells [23/02/14]

Living in Kent for some years, it’s only natural to realise that the Garden of England is somewhat of a musical paradox. Defined by a rich history of alternative music, and spawning some excellent bands both old and new, it often defies logic that venues struggle to attract

LIVE: Expire @ Upstairs, The Garage, London [15/02/14]

This was always going to a sweaty one. And an early one. With a curfew at 10pm I sadly did not see Forsaken – and apologies to those guys. From what I heard from people’s reactions they were excellent, so it’s a real shame. Arrival did coincide with

The Blackout/ LostAlone/ Rat Attack @ The Fleece, Bristol [02/02/14]

Tonight sees the last date of The Blackout’s Final Party tour hit The Fleece in Bristol. It took two attempts to get here: the original Final Party tour was back in October but several of the dates got postponed due to singer Gavin Butler’s ill health. Nevertheless, they’re finally
