LIVE: Bloodywood @ O2 Forum Kentish Town

“There’s fuck all seats,” screams a redhead from across the bar, “it’s divide and conquer to even get in!” She’s spot on. There’s sold out shows, and then there’s the final date of Bloodywood’s spectacularly successful European run. The Forum has opened up areas previously unseen to cram in

LIVE: Knocked Loose / Basement / Harm’s Way / Pest Control @ O2 Academy Brixton

LIVE: Touché Amoré @ Electric Ballroom, London

We might call Touché Amoré ‘hardcore’, but that’s only because a better word for their sound hasn’t been coined yet. They’ve only been in the UK for a week as part of one of their brief and sporadic appearances outside the US, and while seeing them headline is enough

LIVE: Green Lung / Unto Others @ O2 Forum Kentish Town

LIVE: Spiritbox / Periphery / Stray From The Path @ Alexandra Palace, London

For one night only, Spiritbox are gracing the UK with their presence. We all knew they’d be back after their slot supporting Korn last year, but selling out the ten thousand strong Alexandra Palace is a whole different ball game for the Canadians. It’s all part of their quiet

LIVE: Slipknot / Bleed From Within @ The O2

Never underestimate the power of the most magical time of the year to bring people together. Not Christmas, of course, but Slipknot’s first UK tour in four years which closes out tonight at London’s O2. You’d be mistaken if you believe that the band who’ve taken great pleasure over

LIVE: The Menzingers @ The Underworld

People debate what constitutes ‘real punk’ all the time, but whatever that intangible quality is, it’s in the air for the Menzingers’ duo of anniversary shows celebrating ten years of ‘Rented World’s release at Camden’s Underworld. Guitars are piled on the balcony, and we wear our pit-hardened dedication on

LIVE: Vower / Jar of Blind Flies @ The Lower Third, London

Fresh from an additionally added date last night, Brighton trio Jar of Blind Flies are opening for Vower’s original sold-out show at basement venue The Lower Third. With 2022 debut album ‘Mia’ and single ‘Not Your Baby’ released earlier this year, they blend nineties grunge with more modern alt-rock

LIVE: Sylosis / Fit For An Autopsy / Darkest Hour / Heriot @ Electric Brixton, London

It’s early doors tonight at Electric Brixton for a lineup featuring four metal stalwarts. There’s a decent sized crowd already assembled for openers Heriot, who deliver an onslaught of distorted guitar tones, ferocious growls and crushing riffs from the first beat. Whilst Heriot’s sound is undoubtedly heavy, their severity is
