There are a lot of great ways to spend a Saturday evening in London. A concert featuring The Menzingers, Joyce Manor and Sincere Engineer was up there with the absolute best. Hailing from Scranton Pennsylvania, punk Rock band The Menzingers have a stunning discography of story rich tracks that truly deserve to be heard by…
Fresh off of the release of Darker Still, Parkway Drive arrived in Cardiff for the final stop of their Europe tour. Headlining arenas for the second time around, they once again brought a stage production big enough for those all-important European festival headliner slots and a stacked bill. If the last time around on the…
Two years in the making, the time was nigh for Frank Turner and his band of merry Sleeping Souls to grace the boards at O2 Academy Brixton – easily the largest venue on his never ending tour. After being forced to postpone their tour multiple times due to COVID-19, they were finally able to commence…
“It’s great to be back ladies and gentlemen – many of you are at home not wearing pants, or if you’re in the UK not wearing trousers”, quips Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick mere minutes into his band’s set. In most scenarios, this would be an incredibly strange statement to hear, even from the…

Having recently finished an epic…
The last time I saw Those Damn Crows (9) was in a packed out Dogtooth Stage at Download 2019 and this sold out tour of intimate UK venues has been much the same, but before we talk about them it’s worth just mentioning support band Florence Black. If you like Black Stone Cherry, you will…
For the best part of 6 years, I have followed The Lounge Kittens. I have been fortunate enough to see them many times starting with small shows, all the way through festival slots and on their biggest headline tours. I have had the privilege off working with them through various different sites over the years…
It has been an interesting past year for Babymetal. While continuing to tour relentlessly after the success of their sophomore effort Metal Resistance, the group was hit by the departure of Yui Mizuno in late 2018 due to undisclosed health reasons, and the core group reverted to a duo of Suzuka Nakamoto and Moa Kikuchi….
I was all set to review tonight’s Dream Theater show at London’s Hammersmith Apollo (on the 21st of February 2020) in the traditional way. The tour sees them playing their acclaimed concept album, Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From A Memory, in full, along with a selection of other songs. Tonight’s show is the first of…
