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’ –

LIVE: Issues / Lotus Eater / GroundCulture @ Underworld, Camden

For many bands, losing a vocalist can be crippling. Losing what is often a key part of their identity leaves a stern test for the rest of the band. Issues, however, aren’t like other bands. With the departure of screamer Michael Bohn in favour of pastures new, the band

LIVE: Charly Bliss @ Deaf Institute, Manchester

Upon the release of their sophomore record ‘Young Enough’, Charly Bliss lead singer Eva Hendricks was asked about the sudden departure from their indie rock sound. Hendricks explained that they didn’t want to stick to a specific genre and were happy to follow their creativity with each

LIVE: blink-182 @ Pryzm, Kingston Upon Thames

Being heralded as the ‘Godfather’ of a genre can have its detriments. In the late nineties and early twenties, blink-182 were in the running for being the biggest band in the world. When ‘Enema of the State’ and ‘Take Off Your Pants & Jacket’ were released, they were in

LIVE: Real Friends / Grayscale / Belmont @ Club Academy, Manchester

Despite their location at the far end of one of the city’s most obscenely lengthy roads, the four Manchester Academy venues are something of an institution among Northern gig goers. Tucked away in the basement of the university’s student union, the 650 capacity Club Academy has the intimate feeling
