LIVE: Slowdive @ The Art School, Glasgow

It hasn’t always been a smooth ride of success for Slowdive. During their heyday, certain music critics didn’t take too kindly to their 1993 debut ‘Souvlaki’, and were dropped by Creation Records a week after the release of ‘Pygmalion.’ Dave Simpson who wrote for Melody Maker even stated that

LIVE: Me And That Man / Dool @ Jazz Cafe, London

On the day of the Sabbath, what better way is there to spend it than with the wonderful Me and That Man as they make their live debut in London. The new project from Nergal of death metal heroes, Behemoth, and folk legend John Porter is certain to have

LIVE: Foxing / Fog Lake @ The Scala, London

Foxing are one of the most exceptional live bands around at the moment. The St. Louis emo band don’t just lean on their passionate fanbase or the emotional levity of their music either. Somehow, they continue to push boundaries both sonically and artistically, and tonight, the last time they will grace a London

LIVE: Our Hollow, Our Home / Sworn Amongst / Vanity Draws Blood @ Venue 229, London

At times, the UK metalcore scene can feel stagnant and oversaturated which can be frustrating when looking at successful bands such as Architects and Bury Tomorrow. However, in the last couple of years, Our Hollow, Our Home have been making a lot of noise; with a few EPs and

LIVE: All Time Low / SWMRS / Waterparks @ Corn Exchange, Edinburgh

All Time Low have been around for a long time. A really long time. Over more than a decade, the pop punk to pop rockers have released a multitude of albums, probably without you even realising, and have continued to win over new fans with their signature brand of

LIVE: Russian Circles / Cloakroom @ Heaven, London

Putting the word ‘post’ in front of a genre is a bone of contention for a lot of musicians. What does it really mean? Does it really mean anything? Who knows. One thing that is blindingly obvious, whether they are post-rock or post-metal, is that Russian Circles are masters

LIVE: Create to Inspire / Far From Home / Skies in Motion / Faces of Eve @ Mulberry Tavern, Sheffield

Essex-based Create to Inspire are on the cusp of making a breakthrough. Having impressed with their well received debut EP ‘Home is Where My Heart Dies’ in March 2016, the band are building up to their first full-length ‘Sickness’ on 26 May and if latest single ‘Adjust’

LIVE: Bloody Knees / Abattoir Blues / Birdskulls / Broadbay @ Sebright Arms, London

Tonight, the Sebright Arms is taken over with modern emo vibes galore: flannel shirts, expensive pints and cheap roll ups as far as the eye can see. Having supported Wolf Alice in 2016, with a handful of shows plotted in-between, it only feels right that Cambridge grungers Bloody Knees

LIVE: Dave Hause & The Mermaid / Sam Russo @ The Garage, London

Sam Russo was a late stand in as main support tonight, catching the train to London on short notice earlier that day, but he was also an undeniably welcome addition to the line-up. Taking  the stage with a pint and his guitar in hand, he laughed about trying not

LIVE: Gojira / Code Orange @ O2 Forum Kentish Town

Acts can rise to prominence based on a blistering live show, capturing the rare energy that enraptures fans just from sheer onstage magnetism. It would be accurate to cast French prog-death shaman Gojira in this category, if it weren’t for the fact that their work in the studio has
