LIVE: Northlane / ERRA @ Rescue Rooms, Nottingham

In Australia, the first day of December signals the beginning of summer. Lovely warm weather and regular trips to the beach. So it’s a surprise to see Aussie-natives Northlane here in the UK, where we’re more used to darkness setting in early and plummeting temperatures. The band are no strangers
