LIVE: City And Colour @ The Palladium, London

It’s not often that we’re treated to a gig in London’s famous ‘Theatreland’ but, after Madonna’s recent residency, City And Colour are playing their second night on the bounce here at the Palladium in Soho. It still feels like we’re here to watch a play, though, with red coated

LIVE: Nathan Gray @ The Courtyard Theatre, London

The Grade II listed Courtyard Theatre is an unassuming redbrick venue, a stone’s throw from the bustling nightlife of Shoreditch. Tucked downstairs, small groups of fans are milling around in the cosy bar area, waiting for the doors to the studio space to open. Once they do, everyone makes

LIVE: All Time Low / Venus @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

If you were to say that you were off to see All Time Low, the last place you’d expect to find yourself these days is outside a small, pub-like building on the outskirts of Leeds. And yet, here we are. True to Northern form, there’s been snow for much

LIVE: PVRIS @ Electric Brixton

In the wake of Storm Dennis, London is cold and bleak. But step inside Electric Brixton and there’s a warm energy; pink-haired girls purchasing pints of red wine at the bar, groups chatting on the sofas inside the women’s bathroom and ‘indietronica’ support act Joywave finishing off

LIVE: Counterparts / Can’t Swim / Chamber @ Waterfront Studio, Norwich

It’s an unfortunate occasion when support slots are filled by exceptional bands, and yet are somehow met with a lacklustre response from the audience. Tonight, despite incredible talent from all three support acts, this defines the evening until the headliners, Counterparts, take to the stage. Tonight,

LIVE: Loathe / Phoxjaw / God Complex @ Omeara, London

If you were one of the lucky people that managed to snag a ticket to Loathe’s London demonstration, you’re already aware of just how lucky you were to witness what you witnessed. Highly tipped as being one of metalcores next big acts, the hype surrounding their live

LIVE: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes / HO99O9 @ Alexandra Palace

When looking at ticket websites ahead of tonight’s show, they all said one thing. ‘Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Alexandra Palace: SOLD OUT’. And it’s about time. Having been a part of three major bands, Frank Carter has become a true British punk icon – who can ever forget

LIVE: Bellevue Days / Weatherstate / Quiet Lions / Pickpockets @ The Hope And Ruin, Brighton

The Hope And Ruin is a typical Brighton dive bar. Fairy lights casually adorn the ceiling of the main bar in no noticeable pattern, band stickers are sloppily stuck to every surface possible; with local craft beers and a locally-sourced menu featuring off the wall food combinations, it’s a

LIVE: Silverstein / Hawthorne Heights @ O2 Academy Islington

Two decades have passed since Silverstein formed. With nine studio albums to their name and a tenth due this year, their longevity is enviable. Tonight is a celebration of the past twenty years and, with all special occasions calling for special circumstances, Silverstein are performing three different sets, reflecting

LIVE: Pkew Pkew Pkew @ The Star & Garter, Manchester

At a time when everything is just awful, it’s wonderfully wholesome to spend an evening dancing in a backstreet pub to songs about skateboarding and drinking too much. Pkew Pkew Pkew bring the party this evening, packed with beaming smiles and that wry Canadian wit we’ve all
