Tonight’s bill is an odd mix of bands- kind of a varying punk sandwich if you will, with pop-punk outfits WSTR and Neck Deep doing their thing either side of new-grave, horror-punk band Creeper. First though are the aforementioned WSTR, who run many a parallel with tonight’s headliners Neck Deep. Fair Weather demonstrates this perfectly, …

Although the earthquake in Nepal has largely disappeared from our consciousness, the cleanup operation and reconstruction is continuing and life is still far from being back to normal. Thom Betteny of Sheffield’s Evil Hoodoo Records has spent some of that intervening time putting together a record in support of this very worthy course. Thom has put …

I’m not sure what you’d call this, a second wind? Third wind? Dust in the wind? Whatever wind it is, it’s a mighty one for John Carpenter. In a few print interviews I’ve read with Carpenter over the last few years he’s sounded a little on the bitter side regarding films. He was to the …

Le Hangar gigs are always an enjoyable affair. The Leffe prices are the best in town and there’s a large open fire in the centre of the room full of crackling logs, giving a cosy campfire ambience, (you still have to go outside to smoke though!). Tonight’s show is free, as part of a larger …

Spirit are a band I knew by reputation rather than any familiarity with their music, at least until I picked up a copy of The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus late last year. While at the moment they are best known for being the band that Led Zeppelin are currently accused of plagiarising (despite the …

While power-pop has undergone something of a resurgence in the last decade or so, in truth, it really hasn’t gone away since the hey-day of At Budokan. Prior to that much of power-pop’s groundwork had been laid by the likes of Raspberries, but it was Big Star who are now regularly name-dropped as the cornerstone …

Tonight the Key Club sees Leeds’ very own Faultlines release their EP, All We’ve Ever Known. Cold Summer take to the stage in front of a fairly sparse crowd, however this doesn’t seem to unnerve frontman Dan Feast even a little bit. He spends most of his time in the middle of the floor, much …

Gavin James has previously supported Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith on tour amongst others, building up a great following, and it was recently announced that he will be headlining Dublin’s 3Arena in December. Based on everything I’d already heard, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to watch him play and after promising to be on …
