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

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
