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. They have all the ingredients to be one the UK’s largest bands, but on previous tours, the venues and audience numbers haven’t been of

LIVE: The Xcerts / Airways @ O2 Academy, Leicester

Whilst it feels like The Xcerts were only just off tour with Nothing But Thieves and finishing their smaller instore tour at the beginning of the year, the Scottish trio are already back on the road in support of their new album ‘Hold On To Your Heart’ and bring

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

LIVE: Despised Icon / Malevolence / Archspire / Vulvodynia @ The Dome, London

Deathcore became over saturated in the mid ’00s with bands that tried to sound heavy, but weren’t particularly interesting. Despised Icon, however, have always been one of the exceptions that do the genre justice. Whilst co-vocalist Alex Erian has frequently toured the UK with Obey The Brave, tonight marks Despised Icon’s first

LIVE: Jamie Lenman @ Islington Academy

Jamie Lenman is one of the single most interesting acts in the vast wave of brilliant new British Rock happening right now. The former Reuben frontman has always had the creativity, whether writing crushing post-hardcore music or illustrating comics, his artistry knows no bounds. Opening his set with

LIVE: Highly Suspect @ O2 Forum, London

As the crowd waited for Highly Suspect to take to the stage, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to question whether they’d walked into the right venue. The on-stage DJ blasted tracks from Kendrick Lamar and, having chosen to precede the show with a genre entirely different from his own,

LIVE: Motionless In White / Cane Hill / Ice Nine Kills @ KOKO, London

A sold out KOKO is just one of the stops on Motionless In White’s Graveyard Shift UK Tour and the anticipation is palpable. Fans have queued all day long, showing the devotion that Motionless In White have created. Ice Nine Kills kick off the night with
