LIVE: Coheed & Cambria / glassjaw / Crooks @ Kentish Town Forum, London

“When Claudio told us Glassjaw were being talked about, we just said ‘fuck yes. Do that’.” Coheed & Cambria drummer Josh Eppard mirrors the reaction of fans of both as the short UK tour was announced, sitting backstage at the Kentish Town Forum, ending a conversation soundtracked by

LIVE: ALIEN ANT FARM / INME / THE DIRTY YOUTH @ KOKO, LONDON

It’s a double-edged sword when you sell-out a tour where you’re playing a 15 year-old album in full, especially when you’ve just released your first album in nine years. The future for Alien Ant Farm hangs precariously over the depths that have devoured most bands of their

LIVE: Beach Slang / Petal @ Barfly, London

There are a handful of rumours bouncing around London’s Barfly as doors open. Beach Slang will play until they no longer want to or until the curfew makes their decision for them, says one. The second recounts how Beach Slang have previously played the same track four times in

LIVE: Hindsights / Landscapes / Bad News @ Boston Music Room

It’s always sad when any band makes the decision to bring things to an end. It’s also a little harder to accept when you can’t help but feel that it’s a little bit too soon. However, Hindsights have their reasons for calling time on their career, and ours is

LIVE: Cancer Bats / Palm Reader / Lord Dying @ Rescue Rooms, London

Just think – it’s cold, it’s been raining, it’s a Thursday night in January: what is there to do really? The laundry? Or go and watch a mental hardcore punk show in a small venue in Nottingham? We’ll take the latter. Canadian metal maestros Lord Dying put on a surprisingly

LIVE: Panic! at the Disco / Charley Marley @ Brixton Academy

It’s been ten years since the MySpace generation fell in love with 4 charming men from Las Vegas, with fringes that could make teen hearts beat faster, faster (sorry). But now as only one original member remains, we’re welcoming in a new era for Panic! at the Disco and

Live: The Bronx / Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes / Pounded By The Surf @ Brooklyn Bowl, London

Sunday evenings can often be a bit of a hard evening for gigs as it’s the end of the week and a lot of people will have an early start the following morning. That being said, this is completely disregarded tonight as The Bronx make sure the final date

LIVE: You Me At Six / Your Demise / Deaf Havana @ Underworld, London

Tragedy brings people together, it’s a common known fact. Tonight sees three bands (one reuniting for this one off show) come together to raise money for a fellow band in the scene after a horrendous bus crash. The Ghost Inside, who are currently in critical condition, have clearly had

LIVE: Ghost / Dead Soul @ KOKO, London

The use of theatrics in the world rock and metal is nothing new. For years, bands have relied on elaborate stage shows to bolster their live show, adding more entertainment value for money. However, there are some cases where it becomes style over substance, and can detract from the

LIVE: Red House Glory / Bellevue Days @ The Islington, London

The British music scene is more alive than ever right now; amongst some questionable acts, there are some truly fantastic bands out there. Two such groups that are doing some great things are Bellevue Days and Red House Glory. Supporting Red House Glory at their EP launch show, Croydon’s
