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

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
