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.

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

LIVE: Charly Bliss / Whenyoung @ The Old Blue Last, London

Any observant music fan would predict Charly Bliss’ fizzy pop rock to pull in a herd of pastel grunge kids with candy floss hair and eternal smiles. But as Vice-owned hot spot The Old Blue Last fills to bursting point for the band’s live London debut, that prediction couldn’t

LIVE: Reading Festival 2017 – Sunday

A cursory glance at the Reading and Leeds line up for this all confirmed what many have been saying for years – this is not the rock lead festival we once all knew. Musically diverse is one way of putting it but actually the Bank Holiday weekender – an
