LIVE: Bring Me The Horizon @ Royal Albert Hall, London

Back in 2004 when a patchy mob of Sheffield youths dropped the divisive ‘This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For’, few (in fact, we’d wager nobody) would have thought that twelve years later they’d be bringing the biggest mosh pits to London’s architectural ode to

LIVE: Black Peaks / Palm Reader / Toska @ The Haunt, Brighton

Final nights of the tour are always special. They signify the end of a chapter, new friends and new experiences and for Black Peaks tonight it signaled the start of what must feel like an amazing adventure, where pinching themselves has become a daily ritual. Tonight Black Peaks returned

LIVE: Moose Blood / The Winter Passing @ O2 Academy Islington, London

Moose Blood vocalist Eddy Brewerton’s hushed interaction between songs is no match for the crowd’s screams. Taking the occasional moment to dedicate both ‘Anyway’ and ‘Cherry’ to his wife, clearly elated as she watches on from the side of the stage, his few words are met by a truly

LIVE: Knuckle Puck / Seaway @ Camden Underworld, London

There’s something endearing about the way Seaway frontman, Ryan Locke, looks so utterly out of place in a pop-punk band. In a sea of beanie hats and long-sleeved t-shirts, his vibe is rather more ‘Leonardo DiCaprio playing an accountant’, which makes the power of his voice that much more

LIVE: So What?! Festival @ Grand Prairie, Texas

First things first: if you’re not familiar with So What?! festival, here’s the lowdown. They started off nine years ago, but back then they were called South By So What, an alternative to South By South West in Austin, Texas. They’re based in Quiktrip Park, a baseball stadium which

LIVE: Nothing But Thieves / Sundara Karma / Vukovi @ O2 ABC, Glasgow

Following on from the success of their debut album, Nothing But Thieves arrived in Glasgow to a stellar welcome. Fans queuing outside the venues for hours prior to the show even in the dark, cold and gloomy weather of the city. While performing on their own headline UK tour,

LIVE: Heck, Raketkanon, Zoax @ The Borderline, London

The penultimate date of Heck’s album release tour takes place in the heart of Soho. The Borderline has played host to many legendary gigs in its time, I doubt many have bared resemblance to a battlefield before. “Wel-fucking-come” exclaims Adam Carroll before bursting into song, the entirely excellent Zoax open up

LIVE: Defeater, Break Even, Kids Insane, Giants @ Scala, London

Tonight, Defeater return to our shores following the release of their fourth studio album ‘Abandoned’, that saw the light of day back in August last year. Holy Roar newbies Giants get the evening underway offering up a steady selection of material lifted off their debut album. Due to some fairly
