LIVE: Diet Cig / The Spook School @ Moth Club, London

LIVE: Desperate Journalist @ Soup Kitchen, Manchester

T-shirts emblazoned with ‘Grow Up’ adorn the walls of the basement of Manchester’s Soup Kitchen.

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,
