LIVE: Arcane Roots / Bryde / Emily Denton @ Hoxton Hall, London

There isn’t anything that feels quite as bittersweet as seeing a band on tour for the final time. First, there’s the air of exclusivity that runs through the evening. An unmistakable feeling that you’re among a select few, witnessing something for the last time. There’s the joy of the

LIVE: Coheed & Cambria / Chon @ Academy 1, Manchester

Coheed & Cambria shows always draw such an eclectic mix of people. On this Saturday night in Manchester, the Academy is a melting pot of emo kids, full on metalheads, dads in Rush tees, normal looking ‘trendy’ folk and people who DEFINITELY work in CEX; all hoping to embark

It might be a dreary, chilly Monday in Glasgow (are there many other kinds of Monday?), but the buzz in King Tuts within just minutes of doors opening makes it feel more like a Friday night. This may well end in an unpleasant surprise for anyone forgetting they have

LIVE: Muncie Girls / The Hard Aches @ Deaf Institute, Manchester

The first night of a tour brings with it a nervous tension for bands. Questions fly through the mind – will anyone turn up, will they like the new material, can we remember the older songs, are we going to actually sell any t-shirts? While bands have

LIVE: Boston Manor @ Electric Ballroom, Camden

Boston Manor have caused quite a stir following the release of their new album ‘Welcome to the Neighbourhood’; an album that has seen the Blackpool five-piece take many risks, not just sonically but also in the way that all lyrics around a fabricated concept that questions the mentality of
