LIVE: Normandie / Sun Arcana / Led By Lanterns @ Dingwalls, Camden

London has more than it’s fair share of well-known venues – understandably, given the whole ‘capital of the country’ thing it’s got going on – and probably nowhere more so than Camden. Alongside Koko, the Underworld, and Electric Ballroom, is Dingwalls, a tiered, sweaty venue hidden away in a

LIVE: Holding Absence / Luke Rainsford @ The Key Club, Leeds

To some, it’s a hard and fast rule that Saturday nights are all about going out on the town and consuming as much alcohol-infused liquid as possible. In few places is that more true than Leeds, now fairly notorious as a stag and hen party location (among other things);

LIVE: Deaf Havana @ O2 Academy, Bristol

It’s a damp and windy evening in Bristol, and Deaf Havana’s first full U.K. tour since the release of their most recent album ‘RITUALS’ has arrived at the o2 Academy. Splitting opinions with it’s pop-heavy sound, this isn’t their first experience of metamorphosing through music; they’ve previously

LIVE: Blood Youth / Palm Reader / Lotus Eater @ Boston Music Rooms, London

Heavy music in the UK is undergoing an enormous revival. More and more punishing bands are making their way to the surface, all bringing their own unique approach to the genre. As a result, the touring circuit is now jam-packed with these artists, each bill showcasing a different side

LIVE: twenty one pilots @ SSE Arena, Wembley

With the sea of camouflage clothing, combat boots and yellow duct tape that makes up tonight’s Wembley Arena crowd, it would be easy to confuse the thousands of concert goers for troops heading off to war. If you take a second to read the subtext of these

LIVE: Our Hollow Our Home / TheCityIsOurs / The Uncharted @ Satan’s Hollow, Manchester

Manchester’s Satan’s Hollow is probably best known in its more usual guise as a night club, being one of the last and longest standing late night venues to cater to the alternative crowd. It’s hard to imagine a venue that looks more the part for a metal show, though,

LIVE: While She Sleeps / Stray From The Path / Trash Boat / Landmvrks @ Rock City, Nottingham

A lot of people will tell you that metalcore is dying. They’ll tell you that not only is the genre over-saturated, but that the demand for it is disappearing along with the quality of the music. Some of you might agree with those people. But if you attended any

Friday 01 March 2019

LIVE: Mayday Parade / The Wonder Years / Movements / Pronoun @ Troxy, London

February isn’t a month that most would associate with pop-punk – especially not in the UK. February usually means grey skies, continuous rain and general misery, which is the complete opposite of everything pop-punk stands for. When a stacked line up is in your city, though, you strap on

Wednesday 27 February 2019

LIVE: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes / Black Futures @ Peddler, Sheffield

The story of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes is a wild one. In mid-2015 there were a few social media rumblings and the rumour mill was chattering about Frank Carter being back on the scene with a band. Fast forward just under 4 years and the band are already

LIVE: Enter Shikari @ The Dome, London

Tufnell Park Dome has a long history of hosting legendary bands, and this year was chosen as one of the venues to host a number of Brits Week performances. In conjunction with War Child, the charity week of shows gives fans a chance to see some of the biggest
