Festival season is almost upon us. Across the board, we’ve seen more bands wanting to play warmup shows before hitting those bigger stages. With a Sunday slot on the main stage of Download awaiting them, VOLBEAT made a stop at Islington’s o2 Academy on their Servant Of The Road tour. It may have seemed odd…
As the sun rose once again for the final morning of the 2022 Download Festival, many thoughts were on the mind of Team Rock Sins. How lucky we’d been with the weather and just how bloody good Iron Maiden had been the previous evening among them. For those who haven’t seen the other parts of…
It’s my first ever Rock Sins End of Year awards having joined the team in January 2019 and what a year it has been for the scene. New faces, older bands returning and the usual cluster absolutely slaying it with their releases and live shows. Oh, what a time to be alive in our little…
Things have been a little quiet from Download Festival HQ recently. We’ve had new line up announcements from the likes of Slam Dunk Festival and Bloodstock Open Air for 2020. Oh, not forgetting the stunning first announcement from ArcTanGent too! So an announcement from the Download Festival 2020 team was due. Lo and behold, they’ve…
Those cheeky Nu Metal Warriors Greg & Simon are back once again. This month the lads have been discussing Korn, Blink 182, Volbeat, Download Festival and Legacy bands and what their place is in today’s musical landscape.
I often forget other people like Danko Jones too. They are one of the few bands that I can say I’ve loved since the first album and even fewer bands that I can say I’ve loved every album, so it’s a real treat to be able to see them rock the shit out of Brixton…
A few days ago, Slipknot looked like they were up to something. A mysterious countdown appeared on their website, counting down to 5pm (UK time) today (4th March 2019). Now that the countdown has hit zero, we know just what Slipknot were planning! Firstly, there is a target release date for their as yet untitled…
Once again, it was time for the annual pilgrimage to the hallowed turf of Donington Park for the Download Festival’s 2018 instalment. Team Rock Sins was once again out in force across the festival, meaning we were able to cover a huge amount of the 100+ bands on display over the weekend. As a result, we’ve…
As we’re now just 16 days away from the gates of the Download Festival 2018 campsite opening for the first time, it is of course time for Rock Sins to continue our build up for our annual pilgramage to Donington. Those of a wrestling persuasion among our readers may have already seen our NXT at…
Volbeat are returning to London! And what’s more, you have the chance to see them FOR FREE! The Danish hard rock favourites are playing a handful of shows in the UK and Ireland at the end of May before launching into festival season (including at our own Download Festival). Newly announced this morning is the…
When Alter Bridge are in town, Rock Sins will follow. Add the Danish rock stylings of Volbeat and the French mastery of Gojira into the mix, and it was nothing less than one of 2016’s must see tours. After two hugely successful visits to Wembley, Alter Bridge have graduated to The O2 Arena in London,…
Volbeat are much loved the world over for their eclectic mix of good time rock n’roll, heavy metal and the odd dash of rockabilly all thrown together to create their wonderfully unique sound. Their latest album, Seal The Deal & Lets Boogie, doesn’t deviate too far from their established winning formula, but still manages to…
