LIVE: Life Of Agony @ The Electric Ballroom, London

To say that Life Of Agony’s story has been filled with struggle would be an understatement. They have faced more obstacles in their career than most bands but have come out of it fighting. They reigned supreme through the 90s, releasing three critically acclaimed albums – particularly ‘River Runs

LIVE: Bad Sign / Grumble Bee / Bellevue Days @ Old Blue Last, London

The Old Blue Last is well versed in playing host to showcases, but few celebrate quite the diversity of tonight’s bill. Although we were unfortunate in missing openers Elegies (a fact we should admit early on before the social media tirade), each of the remaining three acts bring an

LIVE: Together Fest – Gorilla Biscuits / Modern Life Is War + Special Guests @ Electric Ballroom, London

This year saw a twelve date European tour otherwise known as ‘Togetherfest’ which was presented by  Kingstar and Four Artists. Starting off back in February in Leipzig, Germany and playing host to a fine selection of hardcore bands the tour ended with the final date, a sold out show at

LIVE: Sleeping With Sirens / As It Is / This Wild Life / Beach Menace @ Camden Roundhouse

The Camden Roundhouse plays host to the Madness tour, the final date of Sleeping With Sirens’ tour in support of the album of the same name. The queue snakes down the high street, and there are still people filing in when the first band take to the stage. Beach Weather

LIVE: Muncie Girls / Birdskulls / Skeleton Frames @ Cavern, Exeter

The support in Exeter for local punk-pop trio Muncie Girls is easy to see. Whilst the band has, in recent months, gained increasing fame outside of their hometown, enthusiasm for this band has bubbled under the surface in Exeter since their foundation. Everything bassist and vocalist Lande Hekt does

LIVE: Deafheaven / Voices @ Heaven, London

There’s no question that over the last few years, Deafheaven have probably been the most divisive band of our time. Metal purists loathe them, critics love them, and their die-hard fans worship them. With last years stunning album, ‘New Bermuda’, things really began to change for the Californian band.

LIVE: City and Colour / Lucy Rose @ Troxy, London

Even now, despite the fact that Dallas Green has been going strong with his acoustic act City and Colour, it’s still amazing to realise just how different this group is compared to his old outfit Alexisonfire. But no matter; tonight is a celebration of City and Colour’s wonderful music

LIVE: The Used / The New Regime @ The Forum, London

It’s becoming the norm for a band to perform an album in its entirety, but who? That’s what The Used have based this whole tour around. A few days ago was the turn of their self-titled album, now fans gather eagerly to hear ‘In Love and Death’ played from

Live: SayWeCanFly @ Rescue Rooms, Nottingham

Since creating the SayWeCanFly YouTube channel in 2011, Canadian musician Braden Barrie has been successfully building a passionate fan-base and giving them at least one new record a year in return. His latest EP ‘Darling’, his first since signing to Epitaph Records, features a number of full band songs

LIVE: Creeper / Grader / Blood Youth @ Underworld, London

We have our suspicions that many of the reviews for tonight’s sold-out show, upgraded from a sold-even-more-outier Barfly, were written before the venue’s doors even opened. Not literally, of course, but there’s been an undeniable hype machine behind Southampton sextet, Creeper, and an associated narrative which logically leads to
