LIVE: The Fall Of Troy / Rolo Tomassi / Chon @ The Electric Ballroom, London

2015 has seen The Fall Of Troy come back to the fore. They have exercised their demons, done away with their management and are doing Post-Hardcore D.I.Y. style. The nearly sold out Electric Ballroom buzzed with anticipation from the get-go, but not before two other performances from suitable headliners

LIVE: Thy Art Is Murder / Make Them Suffer @ Barfly, London

Metalcore and deathcore are taking metal to bold new places. Despite Slayer’s Kerry King recently slating others on the Mayhem Tour for lacking that zip, zap boing, there is a real undercurrent of new breed pioneers that are taking things to unparalleled heights. It’s this delicious mix of

LIVE: Ceremony / Bad Breeding / Chain Of Flowers @ Moth Club, Hackney

When any bands sound moves further away from its original starting point it can push their fan base to opposite poles, but for better or worse, it is an important part of a bands growth. With that in mind, there are few bands that have grown as much

LIVE: Ieperfest @ Ypres, Belgium

While everyone knows the larger scale festivals that take place in Belgium each year such as Groezrock, Pukkelpop, Graspop Metal Meeting and so on, one of the most highly respected is the comparatively small Ieperfest. Now in its 23rd year, having grown from a one day event into

LIVE: Neck Deep @ Hippodrome, Kingston

Neck Deep have been in the US for 2 months on Warped Tour and today is their first day back. On Friday they released their sophomore album, the follow up to their debut ‘Wishful Thinking’, and tonight proves that Neck Deep are more than ready to maintain their status

LIVE: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes / Creeper / Polt Her Geist @ Borderline, London

There’s an odd juxtaposition in the way punk icon Frank Carter conducts himself on stage, as he wavers from obnoxious and violent to humble and welcoming in the switch of a strobe light. One moment he is involved in a rather unnecessary altercation with an overzealous fan, and the

LIVE: Korn @ O2 Academy, Brixton

Three US Presidents. Four British Prime Ministers. 9/11, 7/7 and the frankly inexplicable rebranding of Opal Fruits as Starburst. A lot has happened to the world since the release of KoRn’s self-titled début album in 1994, but you wouldn’t know that to glance around Brixton’s palatial O2 Academy this evening. Hell, the

LIVE: The Smith Street Band / Muncie Girls / Shit Present @ The Lexington, London

A Saturday night at The Lexington is never a quiet one. Before a band even step on stage the room is full to the brim and the floor already a little sticky. Let’s blame that on the frozen margaritas they serve downstairs. The line up tonight is a

LIVE: The Gospel Youth / Rob Lynch / The Autumn Ravine / Spineless Yes Men @ The Black Heart, Camden

Brighton’s The Gospel Youth exploded onto the pop-rock scene last winter with the release of their single ‘Kids’. Headed by Samuel Little, they’ve been taking the music scene by storm, and are now pushing the boat out with the release of their latest EP, ‘Empires’. And with this

LIVE: Jera On Air Festival 2015

This year was Jera On Air’s twenty-third instalment and despite the very soggy start, things still went off with one hell of a bang. Jera On Air is based in the village of Ysselsteyn, in the south of the Netherlands. The festival is pretty intimate, opening its gates to
