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.

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.

Evile – Hell Unleashed Tour – Boston Music Room
Evile returned last year with their new album ‘Hell Unleashed’ which marked the end of their lengthy absence – with no new music released from 2013. So it’s safe to say fans had waited patiently to hear the band play new material and the wait was finally over as the thrash metal band took over...

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...
Clobber – Album Launch Show – Blondies
Theirs nothing quite like a gig on a Saturday night so to throw a launch party on one is probably a safe bet. Let alone playing in a venue that has become synonymous with rock and metal music over the years as it’s become the home of Kerrang!’s K! Pit. Clobber planned on making north...
