Sunday was anything but a day of rest for the people of Bristol who descended on the O2 Academy in the city centre. Sold out months in advance, it was finally time to get put through the wringer once again by the mighty Meshuggah. Dragging behind them their reputation as a one of a kind…
GWAR is a band I’ll admit to being less than familiar with from a musical standpoint. I’m aware of their image and having seen them on MTV‘s Headbangers Ball, & their appearance in Empire Records. I approach The New Dark Ages with a completely clean slate, as it’s my first time hearing a full GWAR…
Back in March 2013, the heartbreaking news of My Chemical Romance breaking up was revealed to us. Fast forward to 2020 and they’re back with us dropping news of a run of live shows. With multiple cancellations and rescheduling, almost 2 and a half years later, the New Jersey legends arrived back on UK soil….
For the last two years Live Music has been a scarce luxury, one that many of us had possibly taken for granted, but when it was taken away from us, many felt lost. A lot of bands & artists tried many different avenues to be able to perform for fans, whether it was lower capacity…
There’s nothing like a 20-year album anniversary to make you feel old. And for many of us, the last few years have served up a raft of such reminders, with a number of seminal post-hardcore albums reaching that milestone.

Whilst they’ve always been beloved in their circles, keeping up their momentum has been their biggest hurdle but the tides are starting to turn. After reaching…
It’s been six years since BOWLING FOR SOUP graced our ear holes with a new record, and it’s fair to say a lot has changed within the band in that time. Their latest album Pop Drunk Snot Bread (a very clever play on words there) bears the weight not only of expectation, but reflecting what…
Fenice see’s Italian intergalactic broadcasters UFOMAMMUT return with album number nine in their cosmic discography. With a pandemic-sized break behind them, a slightly tweaked line-up and a slightly adjusted attitude to boot; Fenice sees the band reaching even further into new spheres to bring us some awesome new music to get lost within. While UFOMAMMUT…
CANCER BATS have been causing a stir amongst fans of heavier, punk-inspired music since their inception in 2004.
