LIVE: American Football / Into It. Over It. @ Shepherds Bush Empire, London

When American Football released their second LP in 2016, they finally took us through the door of the house that adorned their seminal debut 17 years prior. They picked up where they left off and made it feel like just yesterday they become the unintentional poster boys for emotional

LIVE: The Interrupters / The Bar Stool Preachers @ The Dome, London

Playing arenas every night is the dream for many bands. It’s one not many get to accomplish but for Californian four-piece The Interrupters, they have got to live out their dream. Having supported Green Day every night on their huge European tour, they’ve played their take on ska

LIVE: Green Day @ The O2 Arena, London

It’s been a while since the punk rock phenomenon that is Green Day graced us with their presence. They haven’t set foot on UK shores since back in 2013 when they headlined Reading & Leeds festivals. Last year however saw the release of the first new material from the

LIVE: Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band / Laura Stevenson / Lion & The Wolf @ The Dome, London

Ever since playing his first UK show, supporting a death metal band above a tiny pub way back in 2002, Kevin Devine has carved out the kind of dedicated audience, only the most prolific, sincere of songwriters manage to. A lot has happened since then too. In 2007 Devine signed with Capitol

LIVE: The Wonder Years / PUP / Trash Boat / Tiny Moving Parts @ KOKO, London

LIVE: Black Peaks @ Rock City (Basement), Nottingham

It’s been almost a year since Black Peaks released ‘Statues’ and judging by the number of people crammed shoulder to shoulder inside the Basement of Nottingham’s Rock City, their phenomenal debut album did not go unnoticed. Those who own a copy have obviously heard Black Peaks, but

LIVE: Hotel Books @ The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham

When the first thing a headlining band does is ask some of their audience to leave, you already know it won’t be a traditional performance. If you’ve ever been to an acoustic show, you’ll know who the message is aimed at: those who are more interested in

LIVE: Suicidal Tendencies / Agnostic Front / Municipal Waste and more @ The Persistence Tour, London

There’s very little difference between attending The Persistence Tour and a hardcore all-dayer at your local village hall or club. Apart from the venue being the Kentish Town Forum, and the line-up featuring a bill of hardcore royalty, the premise is much the same; a place for hardcore kids

LIVE: The Dillinger Escape Plan / Ho99o9 @ Concorde 2, Brighton

Twenty chaotic years: that’s how long The Dillinger Escape Plan have been pushing the boundaries of heavy music. It’s almost hard to believe when you think about it, and feels criminal that the band have decided to call time on their illustrious career. After bookending their catalogue last year

LIVE: A Day To Remember / New Found Glory / Neck Deep / Moose Blood @ The SSE Arena, Wembley

It would be fair to say that the last 12 months have been fairly eventful for A Day To Remember. In the last year they released their latest album ‘Bad Vibrations’ and were successful in their ongoing court case against former label Victory Records. The Florida rockers have come
