LIVE: PVRIS / Prides @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London

PVRIS became one of the biggest names within the music scene after the release of their phenomenal debut ‘White Noise’ in late 2014. Slots at festivals such as Reading and Leeds, Download and Slam Dunk came in thick and fast; headline shows sold out within the blink of an

LIVE: While She Sleeps / In Heart’s Wake / Fizzy Blood @ The Dome, London

Whilst Sheffield favourites While She Sleeps were away, the rock and metal community waited patiently for the ferocious five-piece to come back. And come back they did, in glorious style with their long-awaited album ‘You Are We’, a visceral and raw punch. In the three days that it was

LIVE: Bury Tomorrow / Crossfaith / Black Peaks / Any Given Day @ The Forum, London

Bury Tomorrow have already reached a number of milestones in their career – Main Stage performances at Reading & Leeds and Download Festival, US and Australian tours, and selling out London’s KOKO back in October 2014 – and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Tonight’s show at

LIVE: Ritual Festival 2017 @ Canal Mills, Leeds

Music festivals are a hell of an undertaking when it comes to organisation. So many moving parts have to be working in unison for everything to flow properly, and just a small hiccup here and there can bring the whole thing crashing to a halt. When things

LIVE: Emma Ruth Rundle / Darkher / Jaye Jayle @ The Lexington, London

The last time Emma Ruth Rundle was in town was for a brief opening slot to Wovenhand. That show was proof how far Rundle’s music has reached, given the adoration from the crowd that is rarely shown for a support act. Six months later, Rundle has returned to London

LIVE: 420 Fest @ Boston Music Rooms

Holy Roar Records have emerged as a bastion of original, dynamic and heavy-as-balls UK bands of late. Tonight’s sold-out show at the Boston Music rooms is a testament to those who appreciate the label as much as the varied array of bands on the bill, who represent some of

LIVE: Chelsea Wolfe / True Widow / King Woman @ The Haunt, Brighton

Few artists have amassed a cult following in recent years quite like Chelsea Wolfe. While still inherently underground, Wolfe has become an icon of sorts, with her bleak sound drawing attention from fans and peers alike. Now, on the final tour in support of the stunning 2015 album, ‘Abyss’,

LIVE: Real Friends / Can’t Swim @ Epic Studios, Norwich

In a climate where there’s ten a penny pop punk bands that are all style and no substance, groups like Real Friends, who speak up about real issues more than they do about their haircuts couldn’t be more important right now. On one of their biggest UK tours to date,

LIVE: Deference @ The Hairy Dog, Derby

Off the back of their impressive debut EP ‘False Awakening’, Southampton’s Deference set out on a UK tour to support the release and it hasn’t been without its difficulties so far. The previous night’s show in Worthing was cancelled for reasons outside the band’s control and tonight’s show in

LIVE: Deafheaven / Youth Code @ KOKO, London

When Deafheaven released ‘New Bermuda’ in 2015, they proved to the metal masses that they were more than just a black metal band for hipsters. Nearly two years on and they are wrapping up the last part of the touring cycle for the record, which includes on of their
