LIVE: Hey Violet @ The Garage, London

Los Angeles pop rockers Hey Violet return to please their adoring fans in the intimate venue that is London’s The Garage. It’s an odd crowd with the front half of the venue packed with young fans who burst into a crescendo of screaming at any slight movement on stage.

LIVE: Deftones / AFI @ Alexandra Palace, London

When watching Deftones on stage at Alexandra Palace it’s strange to think the way they reached their initial popularity in ‘90s. It was a different time back then, and they were considered part of the burgeoning nu-metal movement. Yet, as they careen through ‘My Own Summer (Shove It)’, you

LIVE: Underoath / MeWithoutYou @ The Forum, London

Florida’s Underoath had been dormant for some time until they recently announced their ‘Rebirth’ tour that would consist of them performing both ‘They’re Only Chasing Safety’ and ‘Define The Great Line’ in their entirety.

LIVE: Jamie Lenman / HPBC / Frauds @ Scala, London

Those familiar with a certain era of the UK underground rock scene will identify Jamie Lenman with his work with old band, Reuben.

LIVE: Devil Sold His Soul, Bad Sign, FOES @ Tufnell Park Dome, London

LIVE: Elvis Depressedly / TV Girl @ Kamio, Shoreditch

Elvis Depressedly was born somewhere on the misty mountains of Western North Carolina. Inspired by the modest, southern upbringings of Mathew Lee Cochran and Delaney Mills that were stooped in old-time superstition and religion, the duo are now two sublimely lo-fi records deep into their alliance with Run For Cover. Last year saw an extended re-release of

LIVE: Groezrock Festival 2017, Meerhout, Belgium

Unlike in the UK, Groezrock is one of the very few pre-summer festivals than can boast about its fantastic line up before the year has really begun. With last year’s icy cold weather dampening festival goers spirits, the atmosphere this time was mostly appropriate for t shirts and kakhi

LIVE: Thrice @ London, Koko

If there’s one band who has evolved more elegantly than any other, it’s Thrice. After a few years on hiatus starting in 2012, there was doubt that the Californian four-piece would ever return, and if they did, would they just become another nostalgia act? Luckily that wasn’t the case

LIVE: Counterfeit @ The Underworld, Camden

London rockers Counterfeit have embarked on their first fully fledged tour of the UK since the release of their debut album. Sure, the guys have played a few small, intimate release shows since ‘Together We Are Stronger’ hit shelves back in March, but tonight sees them headlining a sold

LIVE: Sleep / Candlemass / Wolves In The Throne Room and more @ Desertfest, London

Now in its sixth year, Desertfest always presents one of the most diverse line-ups from the world of heavy music, and 2017 is no exception. Of the number of Camden venues featuring bands, this year also included The Roundhouse, where most of today’s action takes place, but we will
