LIVE: Jonny Craig at The Moon, Cardiff [06/10/12]

How do you solve a problem like Jonny Craig? Amidst allegations of MacBook scams along with blatant drug abuse and resulting band troubles, there was a certain sense of curiosity surrounding tonight’s show. Opening things up are two artists by the name of Ed Tullett and Dae Bryson, both an

LIVE: Lower Than Atlantis at Trinity, Bristol [03/10/12]

Tonight’s line up is an absolute cracker – Gnarwolves, Don Broco, The Dangerous Summer and Lower Than Atlantis. Bristol Trinity is a church converted into a venue, and it’s an absolutely brilliant choice to host tonight’s stellar line up. Sadly Gnarwolves go on far earlier than expected so we

LIVE: We Are The Ocean at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff [01/10/12]

We Are The Ocean have taken their time and have now fully found their feet after their overhaul earlier on this year. As a treat for the fans they’re now revisiting intimate venues where they earned their dues before they started bothering festival main stages

LIVE: Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun/ The People The Poet at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff [30/09/12]

LIVE: Pierce The Veil at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff [26/09/12]

After a fair few support tours in the UK, it’s fair to say that Pierce the Veil have earned their right to come over for a headline run. The San Diego post-hardcore quartet have amassed a very loyal following: couple that with an impressive new album in ‘Collide With

LIVE: La Dispute/Title Fight at Relentless Garage, London [20/09/12]

The anticipation for tonight’s gig is obvious as soon as the extensive queue outside of the normally reserved London venue is witnessed. This is the only show in the UK on the fourteen date European tour which sees the Michigan wave outfit La Dispute and the Pennsylvanian punkers Title Fight

LIVE: Motion City Soundtrack at Heaven, London [17/09/12]

Minneapolis based pop-punkers Motion City Soundtrack have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity over the last year, in part due to their relatively well received release ‘Go’, and owing to their energetic live performances at two high-profile album shows and Slam Dunk appearances. This energy that has become synonymous with the

LIVE: Merthyr Rock 2012

SATURDAY SONIC BOOM SIX If you’ve ever been to Merthyr Tydfil, you’ll know exactly why it’s important that events like Merthyr Rock are taking place. It’s not exactly the centre of the universe, and there’s little doubt that it could do with plenty of investment when you look around the town

LIVE: Reading Festival Saturday 2012

Enter Shikari As the sun rose on the Saturday of Reading festival and those bleary eyed hangovers started to kick in, the word soon began to spread that Green Day would be playing the NME/Radio 1 stage at 11am. For those lucky enough to be in the know / on

LIVE: Green Day at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London [23/08/2012]

There are some bands that just have it live. Green Day one of them. Mixed reactions to their new material has been something they’ve dealt with for a long time aloft stacks of cash and massive crowds, so with a slightly jarring prospect of the incoming Triple Album of
