LIVE: The Appleseed Cast / Listener & more @ The Ballroom, Canterbury

Canterbury has played host to a great many alternative bands over the years. Everyone from American Nightmare to Converge and La Dispute have graced the Cathedral City with their presence, as have Kansas natives, The Appleseed Cast. It is only right that following their floor show here in 2013,

LIVE: Elvis Depressedly / Lake Michigan @ Moth Club, London

Some people enjoy their music heavily produced, slick, and perfected. Part of lo-fi duo Elvis Depressedly’s charm is the organic and very real feel that spills out of their records. It sounds like it was written and recorded in bedroom or basement and the minimal approach has made them

LIVE: The Offspring / Bad Religion / Templeton Pek @ The Eventim Apollo

It’s a stormy Thursday night in London town and the Atmosphere inside the the Apollo is electric. But of course when you’re about to witness not one, but two iconic punk bands strut their stuff what else can you expect. The Offspring and Bad Religion have joined forces for their ‘Punk Rock

LIVE: Bring Me The Horizon @ The Other Stage, Glastonbury Festival

Photo not from Glastonbury It once seemed like the recyclable steel cups was all the Sheffield-produced metal that Glastonbury Festival would ever offer us. After the release of ‘Sempiternal’ in 2013, Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes admitted his band were unlikely to ever play at Worthy Farm. Granted, it was

LIVE: Beach Slang / Weaves / Muncie Girls @ The Forum, Tunbridge Wells

For a brief moment a few months ago, it seemed Beach Slang were no more. After an incident in Salt Lake City, front man James Alex seemingly called time on the Philadelphian bands existence, thus sending their fans into a state of shock. Thankfully this was a mere momentary

LIVE: No Joy / Entrance @ Moth Club, London

People have been trying to categorise No Joy since their formation. The fact that it is so difficult adds to their appeal, and following their stunning album, ‘More Faithful’, they have been heralded as the best “shoegaze” band of the last few years. That term doesn’t really fit the

LIVE: Bury Tomorrow / Every Time I Die / Landscapes @ Engine Rooms, Southampton

“It’s so fucking good to be home”. It’s been three years since Bury Tomorrow played a headline show in Southampton. This was a special night. A very busy room seemed to enjoy material from Landscapes new album ‘Modern Earth’, not quite as hard hitting as the other bands on the

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
