LIVE: Nova Twins @ The Lexington

Having just received 2 Brit nominations, it may seem to the masses that the London born Nova Twins have appeared out of nowhere – but this gig proved why they have been a staple within the scene for the better part of a decade. The gig was

LIVE: Kid Kapichi / SNAYX @ KOKO

KOKO is a gilded extravaganza, decadent in all its refurbished glory; it provided the perfect dichotomy to punky night that it bore witness to. SNAYX were undoubtedly a great undercard to set the tone for the evening. Their sometimes-muddy sounding recorded work was outshone greatly by

LIVE: Silverstein / Comeback Kid / Senses Fail / Koyo @ Electric Ballroom, London

While the wind and rain had been battering the south coast for much of the day, the adverse weather hadn’t stopped a swathe of gig goers turning up in costume – from big wigs to all manner of brightly coloured clothing – for the final sold-out night of Electric
