LIVE: Enter Shikari / Feed The Rhino @ Roundhouse, London

This week, the world lost its mind over just about everything. The Internet came to a Madonna stand-still (or fall over), as clips of her at the Brits Awards saw retweets in the hundreds of thousands. A psychological experiment reminded us that no matter what the colour, ‘The Dress’ is always

LIVE: Fightstar / Moose Blood @ O2 Academy Brixton, London

It’s not going to be long until the word “reunion” becomes redundant. Disappearing for a previously undisclosed number of years before returning amongst a welcoming fanfare is steadily becoming part of the everyday band’s lifecycle. Regardless, melody-meets-metal melancholic side-project come full-time behemoth Fightstar are the latest in a

LIVE: As Lions, Monument, Stellify, Brutai @ Camden Barfly

LIVE: Slipknot @ Manchester Arena

Fresh off of their Grammy nomination for best metal performance and a six year dry spell, long standing metal giants Slipknot are out to prove to Manchester that they’re as powerful as they ever were in the metal scene. If the masks aren’t enough in showing the bands fierce

LIVE: Funeral for a Friend / No Bragging Rights / Creeper @ Electric Ballroom

Fourteen years as a band is an achievement on many levels and being known as one of the most hard-working and honest bands the UK has to offer is a reputation not many are lucky to be labelled with. But, that’s what you get when you’re Funeral for

LIVE: Moose Blood / Choir Vandals / Boston Manor @ The Borderline, London

When Moose Blood frontman Eddy Brewerton revealed his plans to make emo outfit Moose Blood a full-time venture, the reaction was equally as trepidatious as it was excited. With his recent marriage and simultaneous acquisition of a step-daughter (both of whom receive an acknowledgement from tonight’s stage), it

LIVE: Milk Teeth / Hindsights / Eat Me / and more @ West Track Studios, Canterbury

When a promoter advertises an event as limited capacity and suggests early attendance to avoid disappointment, there is usually an ulterior motive. The suggestion of limited capacity aims to bring the hordes flooding in early, spending their hard earned cash at an overpriced bar housed within the venue
