Bowling For Soup – Hammersmith Palais

As the final leg of the Get Happy Tour pulls into London, the Hammersmith Palais faces a bleak future. Not two weeks ago it was announced that this historic musical venue has been condemned for demolition. It’s clearly on the mind of many people here tonight, most notably the

Kerrang Tour 2007 – Birmingham Academy

It’s the new year, and so as always, it’s time for Kerrang to hit the road again with some of the hottest names on the music scene at the moment. With the unstoppable Biffy Clyro headlining, and a supporting cast of upcoming acts I am Ghost, The Bronx and

Hundred Reasons – Concorde 2, Brighton

Finally, after a three month delay due to vocalist Colin Doran’s health being in jeopardy, the Hundred Reasons tour has finally rolled into Brighton, and it has been worth every minute of the wait. Tonight’s show was absolutely outstanding, with three fantastic bands putting on razor sharp

New Found Glory – Birmingham Academy

Fuck National Rail and all its divisions. Right, so I understand that Brighton and Birmingham aren’t exactly the closest of places, yet a total of six hours on trains, buses and foot to get from my house by the sea to The Birmingham Academy is a bit extreme. Fortunately though,

Taste of Chaos Tour – Brighton Centre

As I sit here writing this just under the twenty-four hour deadline set to me by good old Mr. Savage, my entire fucking body ACHES. Not just the ‘ow I’m in pain give me sympathy’ type of ache, this is full on post-circle pit pain. Still, coming out of

The Eastpak Antidote Tour – Brixton Academy, London

Looking at the line-up for this tour, you wonder who on earth put the thing together, as the four bands on tonight’s bill have almost no musical connection to one another at all. From the gypsy-punk of Gogol Bordello, to Bedouin Soundclash’s reggae-influenced music, we have a taste of

Bring Me The Horizon – Concorde 2, Brighton

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I managed to completely miss the first band on the bill tonight, and unfortunately didn’t even catch their name, so apologies to whoever they were – I’m sure you kicked ass. Very poor show on my part. Right, so the Concorde 2 then. It’s

Paramore – Leeds Cockpit

Kerrang! hail Paramore as the saviours of rock, and upon arriving at The Cockpit today, it’s obvious how much control Kerrang! and such publications have over who does what in the music industry. This is pretty much the biggest queue I’ve seen waiting to get into The Cockpit,

The All-American Rejects – Brixton Academy, London

On paper, tonight’s show has an absolutely stellar line-up. With one of the biggest mainstream rock acts in the world today and two brilliant up and coming bands from the US, this show should by all rights have been a complete sell-out. It really is a shame then, that when

The All-American Rejects – The Refectory, Leeds

I love The Format, and when I say ‘love’, I mean ‘LOVE’. I’d been looking forward to this for a long, long time. Oh my word was I let down. Any emotion from the songs was removed – the vocals were clear and strong, but the music was
