LIVE: Can’t Swim / Save Face / Coast To Coast @ The Borderline, London

It’s Tuesday night and the weather is dreary. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think it’s a write off… but you do and it isn’t, because tonight, Can’t Swim headline a sold-out Borderline. So you make your way down the stairs and into the already buzzing

LIVE: Spanish Love Songs / Pkew Pkew Pkew @ The Hope And Ruin, Brighton

Starting at the bottom of Brighton’s West Street, heading north away from the sea, you’ll find some familiar names. Wetherspoons. Yates. Revolution. Head a bit further up that road and you’ll find The Hope And Ruin, a quintessential Brighton hipster dive bar. The kind of place that has weird

LIVE: Captives / Cutting Teeth / Values / Foxhaunt @ The Key Club, Leeds

If ever there was a venue we feel like we should probably just move into permanently, Leeds favourite The Key Club is probably it (we’ll bring sleeping bags next time, OK?). Usually playing host to just about every rising band on the circuit from across the globe – we

LIVE: Papa Roach / Nothing More @ O2 Academy, Bristol

As music fans, we go to live gigs for one of two reasons: to make new memories, or to relive old ones. The sold out Nothing More / Papa Roach show at the O2 Academy in Bristol gave the fans the opportunity to experience both at the same time. Opening

LIVE: PUP / Milk Teeth / Gender Roles @ The Garage, London

The Garage fills up quickly in the presence of a dim blue haze. The crowd is diverse, rich and eager with punk in their bones and PUP in their veins. Gender Roles are up first and the cotton candy pink of Tom Bennett’s hair lends itself to a beautiful juxtaposition

LIVE: In Flames / Norma Jean / Light The Torch @ The Roundhouse, London

Whenever In Flames announce they’re paying a visit to UK shores, metal fans across the country waste no time lapping up all the tickets. Not only does their legendary status within metal speak for itself, but they also have brand new record ‘I, The Mask’ to showcase to their

LIVE: The Xcerts / Paris Youth Foundation / Novacub @ The Garage, London

Between Brexit protests, shitty weather and the slow but unceasing process of replacing areas of interest and character with even more branches of Pret, London isn’t the cheeriest place right now. So it sure is nice to have joyful Brighton-based rockers The Xcerts descend on The Garage

LIVE: The Hunna @ O2 Academy, Brixton

If there’s any one band that should be acknowledged for their strength, resilience, and unrelenting motivation, it’s The Hunna. Not only are they one of the best British bands around right now, but they’ve had to fight harder than most to get to where they are

LIVE: The Maine @ O2 Forum, Kentish Town

“The Maine are the best band in the world”. It’s a phrase heard many times across the course of the evening, and while quite clearly a subjective opinion, there’s weight in this bold claim. Not only have The Maine just put out an incredibly dynamic, powerful,

LIVE: Dream State / Parting Gift / Oxbloods / Grief @ Deaf Institute, Manchester

Following the demise of two smaller Manchester venues in recent years – Moho Live and, more recently, the loss of the well-loved Sound Control to yet more student flats – Deaf Institute has comfortably slotted into the gap they left, picking up more and more shows in recent months
