Say Anything @ XOYO – 24/05/2012

SAY ANYTHING Some venues were clearly meant to be venues. As you step into the room in these places, you feel yourself immersed in the live music experience. I can emphatically say that XOYO is not one of those places. A dingy, industrial basement someone thought to shove a stage

LIVE: Xtra Mile ‘Twas the night before Wembley

Xtra Mile’s ‘Twas the Night before Wembley’ show at the Camden Barfly sold out on the day the tickets were announced. This is in part due to the great line-up which acted as a showcase for other Xtra Mile bands, but also because you could be fairly sure that

LIVE: Groezrock 2012 part two: Sunday

Fair? As the effects of heavy nights and interrupted sleep come into play, The Dangerous Summer take to the Impericon Stage to sooth those weary heads. Their slow-paced melodic rock should be perfectly suited to the early afternoon crowd, but a lacklustre audience suggests that there may be more

LIVE: Groezrock 2012 part one: Saturday

Belgium may not be particularly famous for its mainstream musical exports, but once a year the reasonably sleepy village of Meerhout changes all that. It’s is bombarded with tens of thousands of punk fans from across Europe for Groezrock festival, and Punktastic makes the trip every year to get

LIVE: Camden Crawl 2012 – Sunday

Rolo Tomassi @ KoKo After a thoroughly deserved rest from Saturday’s proceedings, we ventured out for day two of Camden’s multi venue adventure. We got an early start today as it was the “bigger” of the two days for us, and the first act we had in our targets today

LIVE: Camden Crawl 2012 – Saturday

Marmozets @ Camden Gardens For the first weekend in May, we decided to brave the mean streets of Camden for an entire weekend to experience first hand the madness that is the Camden Crawl. Spread over about 15 venues in Camden, the Crawl is a great showcase for just how

LIVE: Such Gold / Apologies I Have None @ Camden Barfly [01/05/2012]

London is rather busy tonight, with The Hives playing an intimate show at The Borderline, Simple Plan indulging the masses in a spot of nostalgia at The Forum and Such Gold playing at the Barfly it was inevitable that, while the three don’t exactly cross paths in genre, they

LIVE: You Me At Six – Brixton Academy 02/04/2012

Support: Kids In Glass Houses Mayday Parade The Skints Not too many years ago, we watched a young bunch of lads playing in a tiny club who went by the name of You Me At Six. Now, those very same lads have become men and have sold out two consecutive nights at London’s

Live: Angels and Airwaves at Shepherd’s Bush Empire

It has been a while since Angels and Airwaves have appeared in London, and the sold out Shepherd’s Bush Empire definitely showed them that they have been missed. Before them though, the show was opened by another Californian band, Le Blorr, who were a surprising choice to open and

LIVE: William Control, Obscure Pleasures and Fearless Vampire Killers – Camden Dingwalls

WILLIAM CONTROL, a.k.a WiL Francis, frontman of the once promising AIDEN, tonight brings his solo show to Camden. With AIDEN’s future slowly looking bleak, maybe building up a reputable solo career is a very wise move indeed. Nevertheless, he has a long way to go up from Camden’s Dingwalls. First
