LIVE: Cloud Nothings / Chew Magna @ Band on the Wall, Manchester

LIVE: Enter Shikari / Black Peaks @ Brixton Academy, London

Enter Shikari have been abusing the worthless boundaries of music genres for near two decades now – combining rock, hip-hop, metal, drum & bass and strings, amongst others, sometimes all in the same song. Never staying still or safe, they’ve become one of the UK’s very best bands, with

LIVE: Lonely The Brave / She Makes War @ Deaf Institute, Manchester

Manchester’s Deaf Institute is one of the city’s cosiest venues; tucked away above a bar just off the student-packed Oxford Road, it comes complete with a giant disco ball and some of the most delightfully hideous wallpaper known to man. It’s also the sort of venue that becomes wall-to-wall humans

LIVE: Bring Me The Horizon / Fever 333 @ Alexandra Palace, London

Bring Me The Horizon have arguably become one of British rock music’s leaders in the current generation. They’ve released the game-changing ‘That’s The Spirit’ over three years ago, an album that’s seen them play countless sold out shows all over the world including two nights at the O2 Arena.

LIVE: Deaf Havana / iDKHOW @ O2 Academy Brixton

Despite releasing what might objectively be their best album yet earlier this year, Deaf Havana have had a limited public profile in 2018, playing just a handful of shows in the past six months. With that being the case, the anticipation leading up to their massive

LIVE: Basement / Joyce Manor @ O2 Forum, London

It’s almost been 10 years since Basement formed from the ashes of teenage easycore band In This For Fun and, despite their hiatus in 2012, they have kept the torch burning for modern emo consistently.  Their latest effort ‘Beside Myself’ was mixed by Rich Costey – who’s
