Hundred Reasons, Rival Schools @ Royal Albert Hall

LIVE: Hundred Reasons @ The Royal Albert Hall, London

If you’re going to retire as a band after two and a half decades, you may as well do it in style. When Hundred Reasons announced a Royal Albert Hall spectacular last summer, we had no idea that it would be their last- that news would come eight weeks

Sleep Token – Even In Arcadia

While Vessel’s identity remains a closely guarded secret, we can say for certain he’s someone who’s fallen in and out of love since 2023’s ‘Take Me Back To Eden’. Loss and longing run through ‘Even In Arcadia’ like scarlet threads, providing the structure that marks an otherwise very lo-fi
