LIVE: Bob Vylan @ The Underworld, London

Camden’s Underworld is packed out shoulder to shoulder, it’s a boiling hot May day and sweat drips from the ceiling and walls. Vocalist Bobby Vylan throws a bottle after bottle of water into the crowd, urging everyone to look after each other and stay hydrated. Then he flips on

LIVE: Dead Sara @ The Old Blue Last, London

In a venue the size of The Old Blue Last, there are no grand entrances. Tonight, the tiny space above the iconic Shoreditch pub plays host to Los Angeles’ Dead Sara for their first of a handful of headline shows in the UK. The band enter the room through

LIVE: Twin Atlantic @ The Roundhouse, London

It’s a glorious Sunday evening in London and excitement reverberates off of every surface as fans file off the streets of Camden and into The Roundhouse ahead of the evening’s main event – Twin Atlantic. It’s an important night – one we’ve been anticipating for

LIVE: Kid Kapichi @ Electric Ballroom, London

Hastings four-piece Kid Kapichi are fresh off a tour supporting UK giants Nothing But Thieves and still riding high off of the widespread acclaim of last year’s debut album ‘This Time Next Year’. Add in a blistering collaboration with politically-driven punk duo Bob Vylan in the form

LIVE: Tool / Brass Against @ 3Arena, Dublin

There’s something to be said about ’90s pageantry in rock. We may give all our love to the grand stadium performances of pop and hip-hop of the modern era, and rightly so. The art of the live show has been perfected and with the high quality of

LIVE: Salem @ Cathouse, Glasgow

On any given night, Glasgow’s alternative scene descends upon Cathouse for an unholy communion – but tonight is special as Southampton’s favourite son, Will Gould, is back in town, this time with his side project, Salem. Just one month after rocking Glasgow’s Garage with the much more theatrical Creeper, where

LIVE: Ghost / Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats / Twin Temple @ The O2 Arena, London

If you know anything about Ghost, it’s that they thrive on the theatrical. Everything about their genetic make-up, from the narrative intricacies of their century-spanning storytelling to the dazzling costumes and the shrouded mystery of the members (apart from front man and band mastermind Tobias Forge, of course),

LIVE: Palm Reader @ Signature Brew Brewery, London

“We’ve been a band for more than 10 years, and it’s only recently that we’ve started playing to crowds like this, so thank you,” says Josh McKeown, Palm Reader vocalist. You can see from the look on his face that he means every word of it. In fact, gratitude

LIVE: cleopatrick @ Electric Ballroom, London

I could not think of a worthier borough to host to cleopatrick’s triumphant return to the capital than London’s home of punk, Camden. The north London venue, Electric Ballroom, certainly lived up to its namesake, courtesy of the palpable buzz of electricity in the air from the offset. Wading through
