LIVE: All Time Low/ Lower Than Atlantis/ The Summer Set at Bristol Academy [12/02/13]

Bristol Academy has probably never seen a bigger queue than tonight. Sure, there have been sold out shows, but rarely do bands have such an effect on their teenage fans that they need to queue up hours before in the freezing cold (unless they’re One Direction). All Time Low

LIVE: Asking Alexandria/ While She Sleeps/ Motionless In White at Brixton Academy, London [19/01/13]

Tonight is Asking Alexandria’s biggest UK show to date, and despite already conquering America, this is the first time AA can really feel like they’ve well and truly conquered their homeland. It’s a spectacular night and a fantastic line up: with Motionless In White and While She Sleeps providing

LIVE: Papa Roach at Brixton Academy, London [11/12/12]

Tonight is the second night in a row that Papa Roach will completely and utterly smash Brixton Academy into shreds. The line up should by rights be a co-headline stint with Stone Sour, but technically tonight Papa Roach are considered the support act. This is definitely a misdemeanour, because

LIVE: Canterbury at Tunbridge Wells Forum [14/12/12]

As Canterbury proclaim that tonight is formed of two British bands supporting another British band, and that tonight is set to prove that British rock music is not dead (arguably we are unsure who might have suggested this in the first place), they manage to put a lot of

LIVE: This Town Needs Guns at Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, Brighton [07/11/12]

Since the departure of the previous members in 2011, the remaining members of This Town Needs Guns have had a fresh album on the horizon, ’13.0.0.0.0’, which is due out next year, and tonight will be a good insight as to what to expect from it. The show is initiated

LIVE: The Bronx at The Quarterhouse, Folkestone [18/11/12]

Tucked away in the corner of the garden of England (Kent), The Quarterhouse plays host to a number of significantly respected bands over the course of a year. Tonight the reasonably sized yet suitably intimate venue welcomes Los Angeles hardcore-punk behemoths The Bronx into its midst,

LIVE: Brutality Will Prevail at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff [18/11/12]

Tonight is Brutality Will Prevail’s album release show at Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach. ‘Scatter The Ashes’ was released earlier in the week and it’s already sold an alarmingly impressive amount of copies. The turn out at Clwb tonight is representative of the rightful buzz around BWP at the moment:

LIVE: Steel Panther at Hammersmith Apollo, London [15/11/12]

Tonight Steel Panther play the Hammersmith Apollo to a room that is completely packed on every level. The crowd are just as you’d expect at a Steel Panther show: rowdy and dressed head to toe in leather and spandex. They set the scene well for the spectacle that is

LIVE: Warped Tour UK at Alexandra Palace, London [10/11/12]

Established back in 1994, the Warped Tour historically compiled the best in punk rock from around the globe and presented the results as a travelling tour. Despite some initial ventures outside of the United States, the tour has predominantly stayed on home turf – until now. Housed inside the vast

LIVE: Billy Talent / AWOLNATION / Don Broco – London Roundhouse [11/11/2012]

Billy Talent There’s something about gigs at the Roundhouse. It’s always a bit more effort getting in and around the place than it should be, the beer’s definitely way too expensive and the staff aren’t particular happy that there’s “alternative” gigs there unless it’s someone like Steve Miller (went to
