LIVE: Oathbreaker / Syndrome / Coilguns @ Scala, London

If there is a rule that support bands should “behave themselves” at other bands’ shows then no one told openers Coilguns, as it takes literally seconds from starting their set for vocalist Louis Jucker to hurl himself on top of the unsuspecting, yet receptive, audience.

LIVE: PVRIS @ O2 Academy, Birmingham

Receiving widespread appreciation for your debut album must be a fantastic feeling. That is, until you have to try and follow it with a second album. The superb ‘White Noise’ gave PVRIS a perfect start to their alternative-pop journey and after setting such a high bar, follow-up

LIVE: Every Time I Die / Comeback Kid / Knocked Loose / Higher Power @ KOKO, London

Just in time for the inevitable ‘gig of the year’ debate, comes this absolutely insane show headed by Buffalo hardcore heavyweights Every Time I Die. If you’ve been to an Every Time I Die show before you’ll know just how crazy things can get and this time around they’ve
