LIVE: Impericon Never Say Die! Tour 2019 @ Club Academy, Manchester

Let’s get one thing straight – 5.30pm is an punishingly early time for a gig to begin on any day of the week, let alone a Tuesday night in wintery Manchester. The Never Say Die! tour, however, has become an institution, with more than a decade of putting on

LIVE: Highly Suspect @ Oslo, Hackney

It’s 8:33pm on the dot, and the New York raised, LA based Highly Suspect take to the stage accompanied by two things you would never expect to exist in the same place: Elton John’s ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ and an overwhelmingly strong stench of marijuana. 

LIVE: Dashboard Confessional / Cory Wells @ Deaf Institute, Manchester

When Chris Carrabba said he’d be “back next year” during his 2018 tour, we probably weren’t the only ones who were a tiny bit sceptical. After all, it was the first time we’d seen Dashboard Confessional on our shores in ten years – surely we couldn’t be so lucky

LIVE: PUP / Sløtface @ Stylus, Leeds

There are many things to love about PUP. Whether its their triumphant live shows, poignant, beautifully crafted angry punk, their brutal honesty, or just their relentless drive to prove every doubter wrong, there’s a reason why they are one of the most exciting bands on the punk

LIVE: Sleeping With Sirens / Palisades / SHVPES @ Electric Ballroom, London

When Sleeping With Sirens conclude their set with an almighty ‘If You Can’t Hang’, the band bow and take photos as the confetti falls around them. It’s been another successful UK tour, each year building up their fanbase more, with more dates and more sell outs to boot. London’s

LIVE: FEVER 333 @ O2 Forum Kentish Town, London

Every so often, a band comes along with the intention of changing the world through their music. Promoting change, critiquing current affairs and politics and trying to make a difference. These bands have a tangible uniqueness to them and for Fever 333, it doesn’t hurt that they are led

LIVE: Marianas Trench @ Scala, London

Marianas Trench’s ‘Suspending Gravity’ tour is in London tonight – it’s a chilly November evening and with the sun now setting before 5pm, the respite of an energetic pop-rock show is welcomed by everyone in the long, long queue outside tonight. Having brought their friends and

LIVE: Dream State / Normandie / Behind Blue Eyes @ ULU, London

As upward trajectories go, it’d be hard to find a band with a steeper line than Dream State over the last year – and it’d be even harder to find a band who’ve managed to achieve it more organically than the South Wales quartet. Their honest, open approach to

LIVE: Boston Manor / Modern Error / Gender Roles @ Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes

There’s no better place for a rock gig than a pub. Said no one. Ever. And yet somehow, tonight, that statement is entirely true.  Before the show even starts, you know it’s going to be utter carnage. If you’ve ever seen Boston Manor perform live before,

Live: Creeper @ 229, London

Some bands create fan bases that become movements. The originals of this mantra were My Chemical Romance and, more recently, twenty one pilots. Bands who transcend the line between fan and lifestyle. After a year away, Creeper announced this show under the guise of the ‘Fugitives of Heaven’ –
