LIVE: Tonight Alive @ KOKO, London

With it being International Women’s Day, it only made sense that London’s KOKO saw a sold out crowd come together to celebrate one of the most powerful and inspirational women in the pop-punk scene.  Alongside her 3 bandmates, Jenna McDougall fiercely commanded the stage, combining an

LIVE: Holding Absence / Loathe / Modern Error @ The Bodega, Nottingham

If you asked us to design a perfect line up to showcase the exciting, emerging talent of today’s UK alternative scene, we probably would’ve given you tonight’s line up. We shone the spotlight on Loathe and Holding Absence in our Ones to Watch In 2018 shortlist at the start

LIVE: Brian Fallon & The Howling Weather @ KOKO, London

Brian Fallon has been cutting a new path since the hiatus of his beloved vehicle The Gaslight Anthem. If his former celebrated the ballsy blue-collar rock and roll Fallon grew up on in New Jersey, his recent delve into something more fragile and soulful has offered a more heartfelt

LIVE: Fizzy Blood / Forever Cult / Koyo @ Headrow House, Leeds

Headrow House is noisy, with music beating through every wall as you make your way to the venue. Tonight we’re warmed up with psychedelic progressive rock from Koyo.

LIVE: Arcane Roots / Grumble Bee / The Hyena Kill @ The Leadmill, Sheffield

Despite possessing three superb musicians and a back catalogue filled with massive alt-rock anthems, Arcane Roots have somehow managed to stay frustrating below the radar.

LIVE: The Xcerts / Airways @ O2 Academy, Leicester

LIVE: Amenra / Boris @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

Tonight’s show should come with a health warning. Both of the acts have reputations for being punishingly loud, and the Brudenell Social Club has the equipment and the know-how to maintain impeccable sound at almost intolerable volumes. If nothing else, no one is going to walk out after tonight’s

LIVE: The Front Bottoms / The Smith Street Band / Brick + Mortar @ The Waterfront, Norwich

The Front Bottoms embarked on their European tour accompanied by 2 bands that emphasises exactly why support acts are so often referred to as “warm up” acts. With it being their first trip to the UK, American duo Brick + Mortar were previously unknown to

LIVE: Don Broco / Yonaka / Press To Meco @ O2 Academy, Leeds

Don Broco might seem like relative newcomers to some but they’ve been doing the rounds on the UK live music circuit for over a decade now, and the snaking line of hundreds of fans stretching way out of view of the venue is testament to the hard work and

LIVE: Youth Man / Cassels / Lumer @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

Be it the long drive from Glasgow the night before, perhaps the frantic nature of the tour or maybe it is an extended hangover from the mammoth month of January many of us experience but there is an admission of weariness from tonight’s co-headliners. “I won’t
