LIVE: Issues @ O2 Ritz, Manchester

A week after the release of their second full-length ‘Headspace’, Issues hit the UK for a headlining tour. The new record is high on energy and full of groove and the band waste no time getting stuck into it, opening with new track ‘Coma’. It’s an effective opener, its

LIVE: Hands Like Houses / I The Mighty @ The Bodega, Nottingham

Hands Like Houses have grown stronger with each new release and recent record ‘Dissonants’ is no exception. With an ever swelling fan-base it’s surprising to see the band crammed into the confined space of The Bodega, rather than one of Nottingham’s more suitably larger venues.

LIVE: Meet Me In St Louis / TTNG / Vincent Vocoder Voice @ The Dome, London

Nine years since calling it a day, then Guildford based math-rock pioneers find themselves in-front of a larger crowd than ever before. Struggling to fill small venues at the time of their demise, the news of their return was met with pockets of pure jubilation. Their one-off reunion show

LIVE: Every Time I Die / Muck / Blood Youth @ Underworld, London

First on were baby-faced Yorkshire lads Blood Youth. Although they’ve already started making a few splashes here and there the room for their set was rather sparsely populated. Blood Youth are still a little rough around the edges, and some work needs to be done both on their recorded

LIVE: Power Trip / The Flex / Blistered @ Boston Music Room, London

Power Trip are not your average hardcore band. While they are rooted within that scene, the Texan quintet draw heavily from thrash and metal, and probably have more in common with Slayer than they do Youth Of Today. Ultimately, the result is something special, and we were lucky enough

LIVE: Fort Hope / The Gospel Youth / Rory Indiana @ Patterns, Brighton

Until recently, things had been pretty quiet for Fort Hope since they made the huge step to a major label, but in April they delivered a three-track EP to ensure fans they were still around. Though it was a little less than what had been expected, a quick run

LIVE: The Movielife / PUP @ The Dome, London

On the back of a couple of storming UK reunion dates and a set at Belgium’s famed Groezrock festival, legendary underground punks, The Movielife, return to London alongside their new Canadian buddies and fellow Groezrockers, PUP.

LIVE: Deftones / Black Peaks @ SSE Arena, Wembley

Even before the Sacramento behemoths take to the vast Wembley Arena stage for their rescheduled date, having initially postponed around last year’s tragic Paris events, Brighton’s Black Peaks are giving them a run for their money. Their unchartered sound is built for rooms of this size, as vocalist Will
