Bring Me The Horizon – The Fenton, Leeds

As I made my way up towards this evenings venue, I began to wonder whether or not the promoter for tonight’s gig had made a wise choice, opting for The Fenton, which isn’t one of Leeds biggest venues, to hold four bands which are all likely to bring enough

Fall Out Boy – Leeds Cockpit

The internet is the best, and worst, thing in the world. Fall Out Boy will tell you this as fact. They’re perhaps one of THE most talked about bands on the web and it’s this that has led to a sold out UK tour – a tour which

Reel Big Fish – Leeds University

“Snow is falling, all around me, children playing, having fun” – pardon the Christmas singsong, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that Leeds had turned into deep mid-Winter with snow blizzards, viciously cold winds and icicles seemingly dripping off my nose. The things we do to get to a

Green Day – London Wembley Arena

Ugh, arena shows. Ugh, £3.50 for a can of beer. Ugh, Less Than Jake not playing. Ugh, the fact that 90% of the audience have no idea whatsoever of what to do during a punk gig (Note: if you do not consider Green Day to be ‘punk’,

Weezer – Manchester Apollo Theatre

It’s been six long years since Weezer last graced Manchester and to be honest it seems like a hell of a lot longer. Of course attempts were made last year to make the journey across the pond, and the foursome even made it to London for a trio

New Found Glory – Nottingham Rock City

To say that I was looking forward to this gig would be a bit of an understatement. Having been fortunate enough to see NFG on their first UK tour at the Roadhouse in Manchester way back in May, and being completely blown away, I couldn’t wait to see one
