Holding Absence – Live And In Colour Tour – Electric Ballroom
The Electric Ballroom in Camden has hosted some of the biggest names in British music over the years so it comes as no surprise that it continues to be a venue that up and coming bands aspire to play. One of those bands just so happens to be the welsh rockers Holding Absence who brought...
The Specials – The Protest Tour – Roundhouse
The Specials are no strangers to Camden Town and their return to the iconic location was always going to draw a crowd. Hosting 2 nights at The Roundhouse is no easy feat yet tickets flew off the shelves as soon as they were available. The Coventry based ska band are rarely disappointing when they return...
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. This marks the first time Slam Dunk has been hosted in September and despite the delay,...
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. These shows were put on by Banquet records in parallel with the release of the band’s number 1 album ‘For Those That Wish To Exist’. I was lucky enough to attend these shows in person and I’ll just say...
Holding Absence – ’The Greatest Mistake Of My Life’ Live & In Colour
The return of live music on a consistent basis looks to be drawing closer and closer, but until then, livestreams are the closest a lot of fans can get. Holding Absence have decided to take a crack at the whole livestream concert thing with a full playthrough of their latest album ‘The Greatest Mistake Of...
Download Festival Pilot
The weekend is over and the Download Pilot festival has come and gone. It was a weekend full of excitement, booze, adrenaline and an awful lot of mud! Rock and Metal fans rejoiced for the first time in nearly a year and a half as everyone was finally able to let loose after constant lockdowns...

As Everything Unfolds have made quite the splash into the metal scene since the release of ‘Within Each Lies the Other’.

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. One that has caught my attention is Robb Flynn’s ‘Happy Hour’ streams that started back in March 2020. To celebrate the 24th anniversary of ‘The More Things...
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...
