LIVE: Emarosa / Sykes / Grumble Bee @ O2 Institute, Birmingham

It’s been five years since Emarosa played a show in the UK and over that time a lot has changed. Only two members of the current line-up were present back then and the band’s sound has inevitably been through as big a shake-up as their personnel list.

LIVE: Lonely the Brave @ Electric Ballroom, London

When looking around the comfortably full Electric Ballroom for tonight’s show, it slowly becomes clear that Lonely the Brave aren’t a band who merely cater to one specific age range. Down the front, teens and young adults are on the barrier, desperately excited to see one of their

LIVE: Moose Blood / Turnover / Boston Manor @ KOKO, London

Almost exactly two years to the day since Moose Blood released the introspective ‘I’ll Keep You In Mind From Time To Time’, they appear in front of an adoring sell-out crowd at London’s KOKO. Having cemented their rise with the recent release of sophomore album ‘Blush’, frontman Eddy Brewerton breaks

A heavy all-dayer at The Leadmill in Sheffield, Festivile pulls fans of metal, punk and alternative rock from all over the UK. Festivile is a fantastic event because of its outlook. It gathers together and gets behind local talent. It lets artists from Yorkshire share a stage with household names.

LIVE: Sløtface @ The Lexington, London

First in a three band showcase, Norway’s Sløtface waste no time in making their mark, launching into the instantly addictive and deliberately frivolous ‘Take Me Dancing’. It’s a stark contrast to some of their other material, not least the sombre tones of latest single ‘Bright Lights’, yet Sløtface are

LIVE: Butersfest 2016 @ Butser Hill

Butserfest picked the wettest day of the year, unluckily sandwiched between two sunny days to have this year’s festival, with everyone turning up to Butser Hill already soaked from the journey from their car to the entrance. But powering through and not letting it dampen spirits, below are the

LIVE: Fort Fest 2016

During the summer months there are few better ways to spend a weekend than at one the UK’s many music festivals and with the likes of Slam Dunk, ArcTanGent and 2000 Trees on our doorsteps, the UK arguably has some of the best around. Perfecting the festival

LIVE: Pinegrove @ The Lexington, London

The chemistry between the six current members of Pinegrove is immediate, as they take to the stage at a sold out Lexington in north London. Knowing glances and subtle smiles are the physical embodiment of the collective’s musical synergy, one that allows for precision and poise but also generates
