LIVE: Into It. Over It. @ Servant Jazz Quarter, London

Evan Weiss, the driving force behind Chicago’s punctuation heavy Into it. Over It., is tired. It’s no surprise considering his recent touring schedule, one which has taken him and his band half way around the globe since leaving their home comforts two months prior. As he excitedly announces his

LIVE: Black Foxxes / Weatherstate / Patrons @ Old Blue Last, London

Fresh off a tour with Nothing But thieves and just before heading out with Milk Teeth, Black Foxxes find time to put in a singular headline show at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch, a venue synonymous with the most highly anticipated new acts, giving smaller acts a podium

LIVE: Boy Jumps Ship / LTNT @ Barfly, London

There is nothing I love more than going to see bands I’ve never heard of with fresh ears and an open mind, so I was stoked to attend Boy Jumps Ship at Barfly on Tuesday. An early highlight of the evening was a brilliant support slot from LTNT (said like

LIVE: Strangeforms Festival 2016

Hosted by Bad Owl Productions, Strangeforms Festival is a celebration of all things math, indie and post rock. Despite its setting in a member’s only club in the heart of Leeds, it feels anything but exclusive. Wharf Chambers is a small venue (the event sold out at 100 tickets

LIVE: Rotten Sound / Abigail Williams / Cult Leader / Razoreater @ Boston Music Rooms, London

Monday night is pretty much the worst night of the week when it comes to being in the mood for a night of savage metal. The weekend seems aeons away, you’re still suffering from the previous weekend, it’s just the least rock and roll time of the week. And

LIVE: Three Trapped Tigers / Dragons That Make Love To Pandas @ Boileroom, Guildford

Before we get onto the show, due props need to be given to the Boileroom in Guildford. Having staved off the threat of closure from a neighbour’s noise complaint, something that has put paid to a fair few vital local venues, the Boileroom has survived and thrived. Not only

LIVE: Foxing / TTNG @ Sound Control, Manchester

In November 2015 Foxing invited TTNG on a North American tour and now, fortunately for us, the two have reunited to play a string of co-headlining dates across Europe. TTNG are first to the stage, opening with fan favourite ‘Chinchilla’ from their 2008 debut album ‘Animals’, which

LIVE: Lonely The Brave @ The Lexington, London

Lonely The Brave have never been flamboyant. These words were never destined to celebrate a sudden overt showmanship, nor lament their introverted stage presence. I will note that vocalist David Jakes is now facing the crowd, but that seems like an odd thing to commend. Instead, I will laud

LIVE: PVRIS @ Great Hall, Cardiff

Almost a year ago to the day, PVRIS played their very first UK show at Cardiff’s Y Plas, supporting Lower Than Atlantis. Now, 12 months on, they’re back in Cardiff’s Student Union, headlining the Great Hall, the bigger of the two rooms. PVRIS’ ascent has been unbelievable. Since that

LIVE: Amon Amarth @ The Underworld

Greeted at the door by two huge men, fully clad in Viking armour, it was clear that the first show of Amon Amarth’s Jomsviking tour was going to be a good one. This was the first show of their 32 date tour to a sold out crowd at the
