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

LIVE: Monster Truck / The Picturebooks @ Electric Ballroom, London

Canadian heavy hitters Monster Truck return to London’s Electric Ballroom for an intimate yet explosive headline show. 2016 was a pretty big year for these guys, which saw not only the release of the bands second album, the acclaimed ‘Sittin’ Heavy’ but also an appearance on the main stage

LIVE: Cold Cave / Drab Majesty @ O2 Academy, Islington

Whether he would admit it or not, Wesley Eisold has become an icon within underground music. The influence of his music, be that with American Nightmare, Some Girls, or even his written work, has inspired countless artists. It is, however, with Cold Cave where Eisold looks and feels most

LIVE: Blood Incantation @ Nambucca, London

While watching Blood Incantation, you can’t help but question if this band is even human. Everything about them feels as though they are from another world. Given their cosmic aesthetic, the Colorado death metal band probably wouldn’t have it any other way. On the back of

LIVE: Fatherson / Trueheights @ The Zephyr Lounge, Leamington Spa

Indie/alternative three-piece Fatherson deservedly appeared on many ‘Best of 2016’ lists with their fantastic album Open Book. To keep the momentum going into 2017, the band have been touring mainland Europe in support of the record and this show at The Zephyr lounge is the first show of this headline tour

LIVE: Lower Than Atlantis / Young Guns @ The LCR, Norwich

Lower Than Atlantis are currently one of the biggest bands on the UK alternative scene. With the recent release of their fifth album ‘Safe in Sound’ they have slowly drifted from one area of the rock spectrum to another. They first burst onto the scene as a rough around
