LIVE: We Built The World And Miss The Stars Fest IV, Berlin

For people who complain about there being not much to do in their hometown, the answer has, and always will be to travel elsewhere. This is especially the case for screamo. While Miss The Stars Fest is still relatively underground, the hype and buzz for the event has been

LIVE: Napalm Death / Brujeria / Power Trip @ The Electric Ballroom, London

Go ahead and picture a British institution. You might have thought of an artery clogging breakfast, an opinion dividing yeast paste, a depressing regional soap opera or a lukewarm cup of brown leaf water. Or, you might have thought of the decade’s long career of grindcore progenitors, Napalm Death.

LIVE: The One Hundred / Youth Killed It @ Boston Music Room, London

London band The One Hundred are one of the best up and coming bands around. They refuse to be confined to a single genre of music with their blend of nu-metal, hip-hop, grime and electronica. This may seem like a lot of different sounds but to their credit founders

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: 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
