Live Reviews
While She Sleeps – Underworld
While She Sleeps have been one of the hottest UK metalcore outfits over recent years which made their announcement of an intimate tour around the British isles quite surprising. From selling out venues like Brixton Academy to then playing at some of the smallest venues around the country isn’t normally a band’s go-to approach however,...
Slam Dunk South 2021
Slam Dunk festival finally returned this year with a rather stacked lineup. Despite complications with bands having to pull out due to the current situation, the festival was still jam-packed with all kinds of bands, spanning across many genres.

Bloodstock Open Air 2021
The return of Bloodstock has come and gone, and the 20th anniversary of the festival was certainly one to remember. For the first time ever, the event was five full days of non stop music. From up and coming bands to metal giants, the festival was always going to be one full of excitement. The...
Architects – Live At Pryzm
Architects returned to London this past weekend with two intimate shows at the Pryzm in Kingston.

Immerse – The Black Heart
Live music has been away for some time now so when I saw the opportunity to see one of the hottest new prospects live, I jumped at the opportunity. Immerse headlined an intimate, socially distanced show at The Black Heart in Camden and they brought along Essex rockers Palmist to get things started. As soon...
Robb Flynn’s Electric Happy Hour – ‘The More Things Change…’ Anniversary Stream
The past year has been a real struggle for all of us and we have seen a variety of unique shows and experiences from the entire music industry.

Dropkick Murphys – St. Patricks Day ‘Still Locked Down’
Oh, St Patricks Day. A day where you can get as drunk as you like and no one will judge you for it. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my St Patricks Day evening than with a nice cold beer and a Dropkick Murphys show. The American Celtic punk band went above...
