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

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
