LIVE: Deaf Havana / The Xcerts / Twin Wild @ Islington Assembly Hall, London

It seems like it’s been a long time since Deaf Havana have last toured, but they’ve had good reason for locking themselves away. They’re busy writing their next record, the one to follow the wonderful ‘Old Souls’ release, but have finally stepped foot outside of the studio to bring new

LIVE: Lonely the Brave / Black Peaks @ The Haunt, Brighton

Black Peaks are turning a lot of heads at the moment, none more so than Easy Life Records, who recently signed the Brighton quartet. Unsurprisingly the room was filled out for the band, what with this being their hometown show on the tour. Their ambitious and feisty sound annihilates

LIVE: Chelsea Wolfe / A Dead Forest Index @ Islington Assembly Hall, London

There are very few artists in this world like Chelsea Wolfe. Her music is bleak and stirring, sometimes leading you to feel uneasy. On the flip side of that, it is also quite beautiful, and even comforting when it wants to be. It is fitting that on a miserable,

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
