LIVE: Heck / Thee MVPs / No Nothings / (Sorry Shitwife, I was late…) @ Fluffer Pit

After navigating my way from Manor House tube station I found myself on an industrial estate, not the most normal gig setting but this was no normal gig. New River Studios was playing host to the second ever Fluffer Pit Party. Fluffer Records have set themselves the task of

LIVE: Beartooth @ Electric Ballroom, London

Since their inception, Beartooth have gone from strength to strength and, love ‘em or hate ‘em, it cannot be denied that they’ve had a massive impact upon the music scene. Not only have they walked away with shining reviews of both their album and live shows, but their emotive

LIVE: Failure / Muskets @ Boston Music Room, London

The fallout of the tragic events in Paris on November 13th shook up the music industry in more ways than imaginable. Many bands (understandably so) chose to cancel shows in the wake of what happened; while others were determined to carry on as planned. Failure were a part of

LIVE: Bring Me The Horizon / Neck Deep / PVRIS @ Alexandra Palace, London

Tonight is a big night. The capital’s climax in Bring Me The Horizon’s upward trajectory that has seen them battle for the top-spot on next year’s festival billings. One that has seen them pick up a throng of new fans, and push the boundaries of their early music to

LIVE: Nothing But Thieves / Pretty Vicious / Witterquick @ Electric Ballroom, London

Not many bands are able to sell out a whole UK tour off the back of the release of their debut album, but Essex-based quintet Nothing But Thieves have achieved that award easily. Their nine-date October tour quickly sold out, leaving many disappointed. But those with tickets descended on

LIVE: FIDLAR / Bully / VANT @ Forum, London

“I’m a man of few words,” FIDLAR vocalist Zac Carper opens their set at London’s recently rebranded Kentish Town Forum, “this goes out to Paris.” Tonight’s performance arrives less than 24 hours since the attacks that shook music fans, and the world, to its core. Openers VANT have by

LIVE: Creeper / Boston Manor / Hindsights / Ghost Cub @ Joiners, Southampton

One band you may (definitely) have been reading about, hearing and seeing across the glorious internet and various magazines recently is Southampton’s own Creeper. 2015 has been an absolutely incredible year for the band – from supporting bands like Misfits and Moose Blood, to playing to huge festival crowds

LIVE: Black Peaks @ Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes

Spending time with the band before they hit the stage, there’s an element of calm and preparation, as the members of Black Peaks shield themselves from the early November chill in hoodies, jackets and hats. Softly spoken, and incredibly friendly and approachable, talking to Black Peaks gives you no

LIVE: Fort Hope / Brawlers / Trash Boat / Boston Manor @ The Macbeth, London

For the past week The Macbeth in Hoxton has played host to Community LDN, a festival which highlights the biggest acts in the UK right now. With twelve bands spread across three days, from Hacktivist to Killing Moon, it seems there’s a lot to sink your teeth into. The

LIVE: Young Guns / Black Foxxes / Dead! / SHVPES @ Old Blue Last, London

It may be Bonfire Night and everyone may be lighting fireworks up and down the country, but elsewhere, namely at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch, one hundred people have crammed themselves into a box of a venue to see some different kinds of explosions. For the last couple
