LIVE: Deaf Havana at Union Chapel, London [04/04/13]

Tonight Deaf Havana offer an evening of alternative takes of their tracks, predominantly from the deluxe edition of ‘Fools and Worthless Liars’.

LIVE: Radstock Festival at Liverpool Academy [30/03/13]

Today sees the very first Radstock Festival take place at Liverpool Academy. It’s a new venture, and overall a successful one. With bands playing over three stages in the same venue, it’s easy to get around and a lot less chaotic than other mini festivals of the same kind.

LIVE: Finch/ Mallory Knox at Brixton Academy, London [22/03/13]

Shortly before sitting down to pen this review, an entry on Twitter jumped off the computer screen: “Bands split up. Not many people care. Bands reform. Everyone cares. Shows sell out. Band gets rich. The end.” (Courtesy of @LJBarham) Reformation is a strong word. Finch have not reformed; they

LIVE: Cancer Bats/ Brutality Will Prevail/ Turbowolf/ Empress at Koko, London [15/03/13]

Thinking back to prior times the Canadian southern-rock-punk contortionists have graced the capital city of fair England, it is remarkably difficult to establish whether they ever truly went away. As their world-renowned work ethic sees the quartet almost continuously on the road, it is one thing to admire and

LIVE: Such Gold/ Living With Lions/ After Tonight at Anti Knock, Tokyo [10/03/13]

When arriving in Tokyo after a practically endless flight from London via Rome, you might think that going to a punk show would be a little low on the priorities list. Unless you’re dying to see the guts of the Japanese scene, that is. So, after an airport transfer

LIVE: Don Broco/ Mallory Knox/ Hey Vanity at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff [24/02/13]

Tonight Don Broco are headlining Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach, with the help of Mallory Knox and Hey Vanity. The show sold out quite a while ago, and tickets are like gold dust to see some of Britain’s finest young rock bands. First up are newcomers Hey Vanity, who do

LIVE: Electric River/ Colt 45 at Beercart Arms, Canterbury [03/03/13]

Marking the end of an eight date tour, the Kent city of Canterbury seemingly finds itself on the tour schedule due to the headliners Electric River’s local hometown of Ashford. Although running the danger of providing an anticlimactic end to proceedings, tonight retains the justifiable atmosphere that often accompanies

LIVE: The Ghost Inside/ Bury Tomorrow at Birmingham Academy 2 [21/02/13]

Tonight the Rock Sound/Impericon tour hits Birmingham, and it’s welcomed with exceedingly open arms. It’s no wonder, because the line up is absolutely stellar: The Ghost Inside, Bury Tomorrow, Stray From The Path and Landscapes. Tonight is set to be a rowdy one, and proceedings are started by the

LIVE: FIDLAR/ Turbogeist at The Haunt, Brighton [27/02/13]

Punk rock band of the moment FIDLAR are the guys for tonight’s show at The Haunt. It’s not the first time they’ve brought their surfy Californian jams to the UK shores, but it’s the first time since their hyperactive debut album has come out, bringing a lot of new

LIVE: Anberlin @ Los Angeles House Of Blues [26/02/2013]

Ever seen two people slow-dance in a moshpit circle? In the midst of Anberlin’s signature high energy set, the lights went low and a lone Stephen Christian presented an acoustic rendition of ‘Dismantle.Repair.’, turning the moshpit into a dance floor that had two crowd members gracefully ping-ponging back and
