Live Reviews
Wargasm – The Venom Tour – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London
An oddly mild December evening is about to heat up for one of the last shows of the year before the Christmas festivities kick off for most. And in all honesty, what a noisy chaotic way to see out 2023. Wargasm, hot off the release of a new record are in London Town once more...
Therapy? – ‘Hard Cold Fire’ Tour 2023 – Electric Ballroom, London
There’s only a mere two bands for the punters to enjoy tonight but the power in which the two bring to the Electric Ballroom is not to be understated by any means. Therapy? have had along and illustrious career which shows no sign of slowing down just yet with a new album that just landed...
Brutus – ‘Unison Life’ Tour 2023 – Islington Assembly Hall, London
It’s been just over a year since Brutus was last in a London venue. With The Garage hosting what was one of the standout performances of the year, the band find themselves in Islington once again on a cold rainy evening in December for what feels like a bigger moment in a bigger venue. The...
Brutus – UK Tour 2022 – The Garage, London
Everything is shit… That’s not really the way you’d expect your typical review to begin, is it? But you’re probably nodding your head in agreement as you read those words. It’s true, they are (stay with me) Life has become a never-ending drama. The world feels like it’s falling to bits and lots of terrible...
A Day To Remember – O2 Forum Kentish Town
Confetti an CO2 gas cannons are how A Day To Remember are choosing to kick off their special London show as the band explodes onto the stage with the recognisable ‘Let’s Go’ from the ever popular ‘Downfall Of Us All’. It’s a massively fitting start to the evening as things are at the redline from...
Glassjaw – 20+ Year Anniversaries Tour – O2 Forum Kentish Town
The hustle and bustle of Kentish Town. It’s a sight to behold. The buzz and the anticipation is rampant as you walk up to the Forum who plays host to a very special extravaganza celebrating all things Glassjaw. It is a takeover of Kentish Town for two nights that will see two masterpieces played back...
Funeral For A Friend – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire
If you could take yourself back to somewhere around 2005, you’d be hard pressed not to find Funeral For A Friend being blasted loudly through a speaker in your favourite ‘alternative’ club night. To say it was most people’s soundtrack for that era would be a bit of understatement in all honesty, because let’s face...
The Infernal Sea, Burial, & Crimson Throne – 229, London
Friday night couldn’t get more grim and plague ridden as the aptly named ‘Apocalyptic Tour’ lands in London. With it, three of the best bands out there currently in the well represented UK Black Metal scene. It seems very normal now to be saying that it’s been a while when it comes to live music…but...
Knocked Loose & Terror – Electric Ballroom
If you’ve just so happened to be living under a rock over the past few months, you may have heard that Knocked Loose only went and dropped one of the heaviest EP’s of 2021 this past October. It’s only fitting we see them return to a London stage with full force – and that’s exactly...
Bokassa + Florence Black – The Underworld, London
It’s certainly been a minute since we saw the self-proclaimed kings of stonerpunk back in the UK. In fact, it was December 2019 and little did we know what was ahead of us. Fast forward almost two whole years and they are back once again for an electric Friday night in Camden Town armed with...
