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

LIVE: Parkway Drive / Asking Alexandria / Stick to Your Guns @ Brixton Academy, London

Over the past year, Parkway Drive have truly gone from strength to strength off the back of their newest album ‘Ire’. During a rocky time when the band weren’t sure what to do, they created ‘Ire’ and breathed life back into the band. They translate this incredibly well into

LIVE: Mallory Knox / Lonely The Brave / Fatherson @ Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh

Some bands just have staying power and Mallory Knox is one of them. Making a tiny Edinburgh nightclub feel like a huge venue, one of Britain’s most popular rock bands brought showmanship and extraordinary energy to a sold out show. First up Fatherson played to an enthusiastically responsive crowd. As

LIVE: Pallbearer @ The Underworld, London

To call Pallbearer a ‘cult sensation’ may be a stretch of the imagination, but they aren’t far off. After the release of their 2014 album, ‘Foundations of Burden’, it amassed them a devoted following among the metal underground. Blending classic doom metal with sweeping hooks and melodic vocals, their
