LIVE: Lagwagon, The Flatliners @ Islington Academy, London

All too often these days veteran punk bands get a bad rap for their output of material and efforts to stay relevant (eyes squarely at The Offspring right now). Some of these bands have simply not been able to stay relevant as a new generation of punks

LIVE: Chuck Ragan / Skinny Lister / Tim Vantol @ The Scala, London

The worlds of punk rock and folk have been crossing paths for many years, and more often than not share very similar traits. There are just as many punk songs about love, life, and protesting against the norm as there are folk songs, and both genres possess a

LIVE: Real Friends / Brawlers / Trash Boat @ Underworld, London

Real Friends, who are stopping off for a run of headline shows in-amongst their arena filled tour with All Time Low, are easily the biggest pull tonight. Having sold out the London date not too longer after announcing it, it’s immediately evident that the majority of tonight’s crowd

LIVE: Muse / Marmozets @ Newport Centre, Wales

The venue for tonight’s show is perhaps the best mid-size venue in Wales. The Newport Centre holds around 2000 people but feels a hell of a lot smaller. It’s far too small for a band of Muse’s size, which is not a complaint but rather a nod towards

LIVE: Less Than Jake / Yellowcard @ Koko, London

With both Yellowcard and Less Than Jake sharing equal set time, there really isn’t much competition between the two, although it’s fair to say the majority of the crowd are certainly here for Less Than Jake.

LIVE: Don Broco / We Are The In Crowd / Young Guns / Bury Tomorrow / Beartooth @ The Forum, London

Each year, there is one tour that kicks off the year in style , consistently booking the next big thing. This year, Kerrang booked a 5 band bill, all very young in their band’s life cycle. Yet all 5 show that they have the potential to be that

LIVE: Fort Hope / Dead! @ The Borderline 

Fort Hope are a band that are creating quite a storm at the moment, having gained an almighty amount of praise for their latest EP release, as well as backing from the giants at Radio 1, selling out London’s Borderline was just another check box for the band to

LIVE: Papa Roach / Coldrain / The One Hundred @ Roundhouse, London

This is a slightly smaller tour than previous ones undertaken by America’s heavyweights Papa Roach, but the fact remains that they are an incredible band, both in the studio and on stage. Tonight to celebrate #ThrowbackThursday, they’ve decided to play their 2000 debut album ‘Infest’ in full. For

LIVE: The Used / Landscapes / Decade @ KOKO, London

Ever since their appearance at Download Festival last summer, Utah alternative veterans The Used have been pleasantly surprising crowds with their cobweb free performances. Despite widely reported claims of a mid-career slump, the four-piece have discarded the shackles and proved themselves to be back on form. Their resurgence

LIVE: Architects / Every Time I Die @ Motion, Bristol

Tonight Motion – an old converted skate park that usually houses big name DJs – is playing host to one of metal’s finest line ups. British metal titans Architects have managed to completely pack this huge room out, with the help of support bands Every Time I Die and
