LIVE: Hot Milk / Cassyette @ the Roundhouse

We experienced the first pathetic snowfall of the year in the capital this morning, so naturally it felt apropos to round off the day with something fiery – the kind of music to make you emphatically aware of the blood coursing through your veins. Since Hot Milk entered their

LIVE: The Offspring @ the O2, London

From starting our as falsetto firebrands exposing social wrongs, the Offspring have settled into their niche as punk rock’s jolly uncles, cranking out jokes as readily as they drop an MTV era riff. Their staying power has resulted in possibly their most family-friendly incarnation yet, judging by the number

LIVE: Electric Callboy @ Alexandra Palace

As one night stands go, there’s unlikely to be another bigger, or messier, evening than Electric Callboy’s only UK date on their Tanzneid World Tour. The irreverent electro-pop-metallers set the bar incredibly high at this year’s Slam Dunk Festival – so we’ve slathered ourselves in glitter, donned our finest

LIVE: Pendulum / Alt Blk Era @ O2 Academy Brixton

When the Pendulum lads want to celebrate, they head to Brixton. South London has embraced the Aussies – it’s where they recorded their live album, after all – and ‘Inertia’ is blaring from every graffitied corner on the walk from the Tube. More than that, tonight feels like the

LIVE: Common Threads Tour, London

Five cities, one week, twenty three bands and six stages: Common Thread Tour is a masterpiece of logistics as well as hardcore. For one day, the whole of Camden Town has been taken over by music as glorious as it is brutal, and we’re here to catch as much

LIVE: Mouth Culture / Beauty School @ The Garage, London

The Garage is rarely as civilised as it is before Mouth Culture come onstage. Sure, there seems to be a lot of crossover between the Ghost fandom and enjoyers of spiky alt sounds from Leicester, but this is a refined crowd that have sold out the venue tonight. There’s

LIVE: Architects / Wage War / House Of Protection @ The O2 Arena, London

There’s something visceral about watching Sam Carter lose his mind on stage while 20,000 people try to keep pace with his brutal vocal delivery. Sunday night at The O2 Arena is a masterclass in controlled chaos, with Brighton’s Architects proving exactly why they’re still leading the pack a decade-and-a-half

LIVE: Nova Twins @ O2 Forum Kentish Town

It just feels right to watch Nova Twins in London; it’s the hometown show, the last date of the tour, and our first chance to see their new record live. It’s also a chance for any fence-sitters to fully embrace the magnificent contrasts and contradictions which bloom like origami

LIVE: Refused @ O2 Academy Brixton

Refused, as they so eloquently put it, are fucking dead.  Tonight might be their final UK show of their farewell tour, but this no solemn evening. Rather, this is a celebration of musical lives lived without compromise, a punk gig in a huge former theatre that feels like

LIVE: Blood Incantation @ Albert Hall Manchester

Blood Incantation take to a stage that is bookended by large obelisks. These frame a neat arrangement of beefy amplifiers, synthesisers and, amongst other assortments, a gong. Behind them are the Albert Hall’s non-operational organ pipes. They remain from when the venue was once a Wesleyan chapel, adding to
