LIVE: Nova Twins @ The Lexington

Having just received 2 Brit nominations, it may seem to the masses that the London born Nova Twins have appeared out of nowhere – but this gig proved why they have been a staple within the scene for the better part of a decade. The gig was

Kid Kapichi, Snayx & Monakis @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds.

LIVE: Kid Kapichi / SNAYX @ KOKO

KOKO is a gilded extravaganza, decadent in all its refurbished glory; it provided the perfect dichotomy to punky night that it bore witness to. SNAYX were undoubtedly a great undercard to set the tone for the evening. Their sometimes-muddy sounding recorded work was outshone greatly by

Pierce The Veil – ‘The Jaws Of Life’

LIVE: Viagra Boys @ Troxy

What was in fact a secondary venue choice – thanks to O2 Academy Brixton temporarily closing its doors – became the perfect home for Swedish post-punk band Viagra Boys. The grandiose hall with antique walls, high ceilings and a detailed decor finish provided a setting fit for

Sleep Token, Northlane @ Eventim Apollo, London

M(h)aol – ‘Attachment Styles’

M(h)aol, in a very short time, have been able to leave their mark as one of the more unique voices in the scene. Born partly out of the rising modern Irish punk tradition, the quintet have stood out through a truly raw sound and pointed lyrics, moreso
