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

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
