You Me At Six – Brighton Komedia

It’s a sell-out tonight upstairs at Komedia and the hall is considerably packed. Farewell do a grand job heating the room up, and despite some questionable vocals from their keyboardist, they’re almost perfect. The sound really is crisp in the venue, which makes the likes of ‘Zelda, First

Twin Atlantic – Brighton Engine Rooms

Brighton’s Engine Rooms is a horrible, horrible venue. It’s dirty, the beer’s ninety percent water and there is absolutely no air conditioning. Still, they do get some cracking gigs, with tonight being no exception. Local boys Stars and Sons open, and they’re an impressive enough act. Their happy-go-lucky piano

Give It A Name – Sheffield Arena

So the first thing that hit us when we arrived? Where is everyone?! Sheffield is quiet, very quiet – oddly quiet. The venue is cordoned off for most of the seating areas and standing is hardly packed out. A shame as GIAN day one deserves better. Mexicolas are an odd

Enter Shikari – Astoria, London

I think it’s pretty safe to say that there really are only two types of people in this world. Those who get Enter Shikari, and those who don’t. For many, they just don’t fit. They aren’t this genre, they aren’t that. They are however, fortunate as tonight London’s

Biffy Clyro – Brixton Academy, London

It’s been a long road to Brixton for Biffy Clyro. While they’ve released four critically acclaimed albums, each gaining moderate success, it’s only with the release of this year’s ‘Puzzle’ that the mainstream has stood up and taken notice of the Scottish threesome, and the sheer size of

Paramore – Astoria, London

  Having impressed more than just a few critics at the Carling Weekend this year, Paramore have headed straight back on the road to do a short headline tour, and tonight is the first of a two-night stint in London. Before the headliners though, This Providence hit the stage to

Fall Out Boy – Manchester Apollo Theatre

The Apollo is the place to be tonight. The show Sold Out to the degree that not even the touts have tickets and the ones they had went for about £60- if you got one for less, you were lucky! Why all of the commotion about Fall Out

Poison The Well – Carling Academy, Islington

Firstly, my apologies ring out to the lads in Ghost of a Thousand. No matter how early you leave home to get to a gig in time for the support acts, getting on the wrong tube line and ending up further away from the venue than you started

Enter Shikari – Hammersmith Palais

Ever since they first hit the live circuit a few years ago, Yourcodenameis:Milo have been known to many as ‘That band who have a song that slows down in the middle’. Despite a hostile reception from tonight’s pre-teen audience, these six lads from ‘Oop Norff’ manage to prove

Alexisonfire – London Astoria

It’s been a while since Alexisonfire hit the UK for a full headlining tour of their own. In the last year they’ve been over here doing spots on almost every festival worth mentioning, but it’s been well over twelve months since we last had the opportunity to hear
