From Thursday 31 October 2019

LIVE: Jimmy Eat World @ PRYZM, Kingston Upon Thames

There’s little more thrilling than an album release show; the crowd bubbles with the anticipation of getting to hear new songs live for the very first time, and the venues are usually far more intimate than we’re used to – particularly for bands that have been around

LIVE: Press To MECO / Chapter And Verse @ The Parish, Huddersfield

Despite the rise of chains of identikit venues, one thing the UK continues to do exceedingly well at is hiding away small venues with heaps of character all over the land, often in the places you least expect. Huddersfield’s The Parish is one of those, with a 150 capacity

LIVE: Biffy Clyro / Jimmy Eat World @ The Roundhouse, London

The Roundhouse is arguably one of London’s most iconic venues, being the venue at which innumerable live albums were recorded and having housed more impressive names in music than the front cover of Rolling Stone (probably). That’s why it’s perfect for tonight’s lineup of Biffy Clyro

LIVE: Alice Cooper / The Stranglers @ First Direct Arena, Leeds

“I put on my Facebook this morning, ‘I’ve got tickets to Alice fucking Cooper’, hell yeah”, I overhear an excited gentlemen mention to his friend moments before the curtain raises. There’s a fevered anticipation building in Leeds’ LED-light clad First Direct Arena, usually reserved for the latest

LIVE: Sea Girls @ O2 Forum, Kentish Town

If there was ever to be a band that defined 2019’s success story, it would be Sea Girls. Attending almost every summer festival you could possibly name, it would be a surprise if you hadn’t at least wandered past their stage mid-set and found yourself bopping along

LIVE: Sleep Token @ The Underworld, Camden

Gigs have become one of the most important facets for a band’s career progression. A consistent and great live show can put some bands over the top and really capture the attention of the right people, opening up more opportunities. Sleep Token are a band who have crafted a

LIVE: Mallory Knox / Led By Lanterns @ Gorilla, Manchester

Going to a band’s final ever show or tour will never feel quite right, and it seems like we’ve already seen far more than we’d like to in 2019. Though not originally announced as a farewell tour, Mallory Knox’s current run was later confirmed to be their last; a

LIVE: Tiny Moving Parts / Microwave @ O2 Academy Islington, London

Tiny Moving Parts have an incredible fan base, and for good reason. Not only does their music reek of honesty and passion, but it’s immediately memorable too, burying its tones directly into your brain and massaging it into a rich, colourful haven. Their firm grasp on the

LIVE: Deafheaven / Touche Amore / Portrayal Of Guilt @ Electric Ballroom, Camden

Deafheaven and Touche Amore are two bands whose critical and commercial profiles have been steadily growing over the past six years or so. Deafheaven attracted widespread acclaim with second album ‘Sunbather’, achieving reviews so glowing that their 2015 follow up, ‘New Bermuda’, hit the Top 70 in the US,

LIVE: Rivers of Nihil / Black Crown Initiate / MØL / Orbit Culture @ Mama Roux’s, Birmingham

It’s a cold, wet, dreary Sunday night in Birmingham, and yet Mama Roux’s is packed right to the back with eager metalheads ready to be pummelled by tonight’s four-band touring lineup. Orbit Culture make short work of getting the crowd warmed up, with their tight, technical metal going over
