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

LIVE: Black Light Burns at Camden Underworld, London [14/02/13]

Today is Valentine’s Day, and regardless of anything else, it’s a great night for shows in London. Black Light Burns, Wes Borland’s side project, are playing at the Underworld and Frank Carter’s Pure Love are playing at XOYO. The Underworld has a great turnout for the former, and it feels

LIVE: Pure Love at XOYO, London [14/02/13]

By seemingly singlehandedly holding up the helium business, London’s trendy underground haunt XOYO is looking more like a set for a 1950s teen romance or the prom scene from Carrie than the location for Pure Love’s first anniversary gig. Everything about tonight screams “stylish” – from the abundance of

Fall Out Boy – Camden Underworld [25/02/2013]

It’s been three or so weeks since Fall Out Boy announced the end of their hiatus, returning with news of a largely secret new album and some tiny club shows that would have been beyond a fan’s wildest dream before they took a step back three years ago. Despite arriving

Deftones / letlive. / Three Trapped Tigers – Brixton Academy [20/02/2013]

Later tonight, renowned trailblazers Deftones are set to take London by storm once again at a sold out O2 Brixton Academy – this time off the back of their strong latest album ‘Koi No Yokan’. Handpicked opening act Three Trapped Tigers fill the slot perfectly tonight, performing an outstanding set

LIVE: We Are The Ocean / Yashin / Straight Lines – Tunbridge Wells Forum [30/01/13]

We Are The Ocean suffered a more disruptive 2012 than most, beginning the year on a high from a number of highly acclaimed festival performances (indeed, pushing at the “best band of Reading/Leeds” accolade in 2011) and followed by the departure of Dan Brown shortly before a well-publicised unfortunate
