LIVE: Papa Roach / Ho99o9 @ O2 Academy, Brixton

Papa Roach are one of those bands that seem like they’ve been around forever, and that’s because they have. The band released their eighth studio album ‘Crooked Teeth’ earlier this year and are now touring the globe reminding fans both new and old just why they’ve managed to sustain

LIVE: Placebo @ Albert Hall, Manchester

Tonight’s show saw Placebo play a career spanning set list as they returned for the second leg of their 20th Anniversary Tour. Those 20 years have seen the band rise from the mid-90s London alternative scene, producing seven albums, five of those reaching top ten, and 11 top ten

LIVE: The Xcerts @ The Bodega, Nottingham

The last time we saw The Xcerts, the band’s broad smiles were matched by the enthusiasm of the crowd in a thoroughly packed-out tent at 2000 Trees festival. The Bodega may be much smaller, and considerably darker, than your average festival atmosphere, but the band step onto

LIVE: Black Foxxes @ The Dome, London

Playing the biggest headline show of your career must be nerve-racking enough, but to do it when you’re supposed to be in the hospital adds a whole new level of uneasiness. This is exactly the predicament that UK rock trio Black Foxxes find themselves in. Regardless of their wellbeing,

LIVE: EpicFest 2017 – Saturday

After being forced to miss the Friday leg of EpicFest due to the terrible sufferance of ‘adult life’, we found ourselves slogging through the arse end of Herne Hill, London, in order to indulge in the towering line-up the delicately named South London Scum have put together. After walking past

LIVE: Jaret Reddick / The Lounge Kittens @ Islington Assembly Hall, London

Jaret Reddick has his finger in many a pop punk pie. Whether it’s fronting cheerfully tongue in cheek nostalgia favourites Bowling For Soup, hosting a film review podcast or getting animated (literally) on Phineas and Ferb, he’s certainly not adverse to doing something different. And his gig at the

LIVE: Life Of Agony / Aaron Buchanan and The Cult Classics @ Electric Ballroom, London

The idea of writing about a Life Of Agony show in 2017 seemed, at one point, almost unfathomable, least of all that they would be touring a new record. However, here we are at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, and the beloved New York band are in town again

LIVE: The Gospel Youth @ The Key Club, Leeds

Although The Gospel Youth have only just released their debut album, the band have amassed a large collection of songs in their relatively short existence. In 2016 they released one single per month for their subscribers on Bandcamp, and with earlier EPs ‘Kids’ and ‘Empires’ under their

LIVE: Trash Boat / Broadside / Homebound / These Five Years @ Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff

South Wales’ own These Five Years kick off proceedings; a band that have seen themselves popping up on shows regularly in and around the South Wales area. Due to being added on to the show relatively late in the day, and the earlier door time maybe not reaching the
