As Storm Ciaran whips itself into… well an anticlimax, the hardier dwellers of Southampton and the surrounding area have not put their tickets on Facebook and instead come out to The 1865 for a night of music that doesn’t take itself too seriously, by a band that takes itself even less seriously – festival favourites…
We were captivated by a night of musical magic as City and Colour bid farewell to London in a 3 night sold-out extravaganza, marking the culmination of their two-year touring schedule. The atmosphere was electric as the crowd transformed into a chorus of voices, filling the venue with a melodic charm that could only be…
With life being as unpredictable as it is, it is always best to operate with a never say never policy. With that in mind, I really don’t think anyone saw a Blink-182 reunion coming. With Tom Delonge having left the band behind to become an alien researcher and Mark & Travis continuing on with Matt…
As the October weather continues to flip flop between autumn and early summer one thing is hot and that’s the inside of Portsmouth Guildhall, which is packed to the brim with people excited to see one of the hottest new(ish) bands on the scene – Electric Callboy. First up to warm up any part of…
Considering how active they’ve been since their formation in 2018, and how quickly they’ve risen to the top of the crop of Britain’s latest wave of modern rock and metal, one may be surprised to learn that Wargasm only released their first EP in 2022. After an intensive year supporting the release of Explicit: The…
Please don’t call I need another hour… to get over the absolute SHOW that Scene Queen just put on for a second sold out night at O2 Academy Islington. Supported by Delilah Bon and In Her Own Words, Scene Queen embarks on her second UK tour and the growth is formidable. Building a safe space…
Beartooth are one of those bands I adore. Not only are they one of the best bands of their ilk musically, but frontman Caleb Shomo is one of the most brutally honest lyricists and endlessly endearing frontmen in the whole game. For well over a decade now they have perfected their particular brand of mental…
Jake Oni dropped one of the surprise hidden gems of last year with Loathing Light, under his Oni moniker. It was an album that I enjoyed, while also addressing that it did seem to have a bit of an identity crisis. Oni is back with a follow up already in the form of The Silver…
Twin Temple has a touch of Ghost syndrome. Wherein their imagery very much does not entirely match the music the band puts out. You’d be forgiven for thinking you were going to get something dark, gothic, possibly symphonic metal as opposed to the music by The Ronettes, lyrics by Slayer that you are ultimately met…
At this point it seems redundant to call Creeper one of the most innovative and interesting bands in the Rock scene. Much like Code Orange, their particular brand of art is fully immersive, ever evolving and they never make the same thing twice. In fact they have become somewhat known for the emphatic nature with…
It seems mental to think that in the grand scheme of things Carnifex are now considered veterans of the Death Metal scene. 18 years into doing this and yet people still act like they only popped up recently. When you listen to their latest album Necromanteum, you can here that vintage running throughout. Somewhat erroneously…
It’s safe to say the last decade has been a trying time for Of Mice & Men. Lineup changes, genre hopping and finally finding their feet. Bands have broken up over less. From sanding down the edges on Restoring Force to the Nu Metal revivalism of Cold World, there was a period where they felt…
