LIVE: The Devil Wears Prada – Undead Stream

It’s 10pm in the UK on a Saturday night, it’s pitch black outside and all you can hear are the sounds of the pouring rain and TV static. This could mean two things; it’s either a typical night in the UK and the weather is messing with your

LIVE: Twenty One Pilots – Livestream Experience

It’s 1am in the UK, but for those who can resist the pull of slumber, time is irrelevant when it comes to kicking off a new era of Twenty One Pilots. Today has been ‘Scaled and Icy’ release day, and given we’ve been waiting weeks to celebrate

LIVE: Black Peaks @ The Brighton Centre

Live streams are bloody weird, aren’t they? It’s like being at a gig, but you’re in your pyjamas, your beer is cold (and probably didn’t cost you six pounds), and your nostrils aren’t full of that unmistakable mix of sweat, farts and booze. Basically, it’s not as good. Is

LIVE: Dead Poet Society – ‘-!-’ Album Launch

There is a light on the horizon. As vaccines continue to roll out, that first live gig back seems to edge closer day by day. For now though, artists must continue to adapt their approach when it comes to getting their product across to existing and prospective

LIVE: Jimmy Eat World @ The Phoenix Sessions – ‘Futures’

We’re nearing an entire year of gigs being put on hold while the outside world undergoes the most intense round of fumigation it’s ever seen, and while it’s hard to grapple with the knowledge we’re still a while away from in-person events returning, it’s been fun watching

LIVE: Architects @ Royal Albert Hall, London

As the need for streamed gigs continues, bands are upping their game and putting together increasingly more professional and impressive productions to share with their fans through a screen. Architects have done just that and the result will blow your mind to smithereens. Taking

LIVE: Boston Manor @ Blackpool Tower, Blackpool

For most of us, it’s been at least seven months since we last entered a music venue with the excitable anticipation of a child on Christmas morning. The idea of being crammed in a room full of sweaty strangers ever again has become something of a pipe dream. So

LIVE: IDLES @ Abbey Road, London

Look, we’re still in a weird place. Although we’re starting to see live shows back, they’re rightly keeping fans distant from each other. For most of us, the idea of socially distanced gigs, whilst being the correct course of action, would be difficult to tolerate. Without being able to

LIVE: Jamie Lenman @ Signature Brew Brewery, London

‘This is weird isn’t it?’ says Jamie Lenman moments after taking the stage, ‘But it’s weird in a good way’. It’s hard to sum up the gig much better than that. This is the second of a three-night run of shows for Lenman, but for many fans in the

LIVE: Employed to Serve / Palm Reader / Cruelty @ Camden Underworld, London

The last few minutes of Employed to Serve’s set are pure chaos. Their bass player has somehow lost his instrument, so instead of playing, he’s grabbing fans by the hand to pull them up on stage. The pit empties as more and more bodies pile onstage to join the
