LIVE: Every Time I Die at Electric Ballroom, London [29/10/12]

Tonight sees Every Time I Die return to London to play a triumphant show at the Electric Ballroom. It’s not quite as busy as when they played the same venue this time last year, but nearly every UK tour seems to have suffered this month from the sheer magnitude

LIVE: August Burns Red/ The Devil Wears Prada at O2 Academy, Bristol [22/10/12]

Tonight sees two of the metal world’s biggest players, The Devil Wears Prada and August Burns Red, descend on Bristol Academy and tear it into shreds. The venue is sadly far from sold out, but the turn out is good and The Devil Wears Prada come onstage to rapturous

LIVE: Gallows at The Globe, Cardiff [18/10/12]

Tonight’s show, despite having the same line up as the rest of this UK tour (Gallows, Feed The Rhino, Brotherhood Of The Lake), has been billed as part of Cardiff’s Swn Festival. This means that there is some confusion around the show and a lot of diehard Gallows fans

LIVE: Never Say Die Tour at Electric Ballroom, London [18/10/12]

There is a formulaic pattern embedded in tonight’s proceedings; each band delivering minimal variation on sporadic moments of high-tempo metal spliced with some sort of genre-bending composition – be it trance-infused breakdowns or clean vocal harmonies. As expected with a roster made up of up-and-coming metalcore bands from across

LIVE: Tall Ships at The Haunt, Brighton [12/10/12]

Tall Ships photo c/o AIDAN WINGET Now the longer-than-long-awaited debut album from Tall Ships, ‘Everything Touching’, has finally landed, the Brighton-via-Falmouth guys have set out on a suitably extensive tour. In much the same way though, it feels like tonight has been a long time coming, with the band finally

LIVE: Straight Lines at Camden Barfly [15/10/12]

Straight Lines have been enjoying critical success throughout 2012 following the release of their sophomore effort ‘Freaks Like Us’, and the subsequent appearances at a handful of home-grown festivals across the country including, but not limited to, Slam Dunk, Y Not, Redfest and Merthyr Rock. On this particularly cold

LIVE: Mallory Knox at Camden Barfly [11/10/12]

As fans turn up wet through to the skin from an autumn downpour, Mallory Knox are preparing to play London’s Camden Barfly on the sixth day of their UK tour with Reckless Love. Much has been said in the press of late surrounding this band from Cambridge. An excitement

LIVE: Young Guns – Cardiff Solus [11/10/12]

Tonight the Vans Off The Wall tour hits Cardiff with its rowdy line up of Marmozets, Your Demise, We Are The In Crowd and Young Guns. It’s a sold out show, and rightfully so, because it’s a hell of a line up. A slightly strange mixture of heavy, pop

LIVE: Of Mice & Men at Electric Ballroom, London [10/10/12]

Tonight’s show at the Electric Ballroom is well and truly sold out. The queue of teenagers snakes right up Camden High Street and around the corner, and there’s no way to escape the fact that one of the biggest metal bands around is in town. Tonight these kids are

LIVE: Tonight Alive at Barfly, London [09/10/12]

Despite their popularity in native Australia, Tonight Alive are yet to grace a stage in the UK’s capital as a headliner. Tonight’s sold out show in Camden’s 220 person sweatbox is therefore destined to become a milestone in the band’s four year history. The show marks the end of
