AKA: an incredible evening of crowd-surfing, moshpits, and sweaty shirtless people! When I saw that Don Broco was going to play in London, I was pretty intrigued and curious to go; however, some don’t just go to a gig simply out of curiosity; I had another plan, I also wanted to see their special guest, […]
Rolo Tomassi, Holy Fawn and Heriot Live at The Electric Ballroom, London
Shows at the Electric Ballroom are often a key step to the ladder of fame for alternative bands, and Rolo Tomassi is no exception, as they played their biggest show to date there, as enthused by the band. While they are yet to be fully discovered, they have already developed a great supportive fan base […]
Elles Bailey w/ Morganway at KK’s Steelmill, Wolverhampton.
The first time I saw Elles Bailey was at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival last year and alongside well established performers like Joanne Shaw Taylor Elles stood out as an exceptional talent. So, it goes without question that I was looking forward to a second helping of this up and coming blues star. Before Elles took […]
Sleeping With Sirens – Manchester O2 Ritz
It’s a Sunday night of emo classics tonight at O2 Ritz Manchester, with Sleeping With Sirens on their Headline tour with Cemetery Liars and Static Dress supporting. Cemetery Liars kick off this Sunday night with probably the lighter side of rock for the night. All dressed head to toe in black, all four members take […]
The Beat – The Assembly, Leamington Spa
The Beat? Now depending on your age those words will throw up a couple of scenarios I’m thinking? If, like me you remember them first time around I suppose then firstly I should remember my manners and I best enquire as to your health, your knees, your back, still going, not given up on you […]
Yours Truly – Manchester Academy 3
Manchester Academy 3 plays host tonight to Yours Truly on their headline tour with support from Lizzy Farrell and South Arcade!

Man w/ Tri-City Fanfare – The Robin 2, Bilston
It’s almost 50 years to the day that I last saw Man play live. That was at the Liverpool Stadium venue sometime in 1973 – I suspected the line-up had changed in between! Before Man hit the stage it’s Tri-City Fanfare, a band out of Cardiff headed by Shane Dixon and Martin Whittaker. Shane is […]
Bullet for my Valentine w/ Atreyu & Jinjer – Leeds O2 Academy.
This is probably the first time where I can say I am in my element for a review. Bullet For My Valentine has been in my life for many years, and one thing I’m going to say before jumping into this review is that you need to see Bullet live at some point in your […]
Starset w/ Smash into Pieces – Rock City, Nottingham.
What better thing to do on a Sunday than head off into the metropolis of Nottingham to see two bands who have been on my to see list for a while now. Rock City was heaving – so good to see the venue bringing in a big crowd and it was warming up nicely for […]
Inhaler w/ Feet and Overpass – Bristol O2 Academy.
Overpass Birmingham-based ‘Overpass’ were the first band to grace the stage, providing a set full of songs with an air of nostalgia, like the feeling of listening to your favourite indie anthem for the first time. They have been opening for Inhaler on their UK tour, providing the perfect introduction to what can only be […]
