Live Review: Spin Off Festival, Adelaide Showground, 23.07.2022
The return of Spin Off Festival in Adelaide was huge after having to cancel and reschedule several times since 2019. The huge line-up included acts coming over from the Splendour in the Grass Festival in Byron Bay, which meant that tickets sold out instantly. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on this …

Gallery: Geese – The Sound House, Dublin 24,06,2022
American art-punk/indie-rock band Geese arrived in Dublin’s The Sound House and played to a full room which was great to see considering they were up against a few other major shows on around Dublin on the night. The band themselves didn’t really have much to say, they just got on and done what a good …

Live: Confidence Man/A. Swayze and the Ghosts/King Stingray – Dark Mofo Festival 2021
I’m not sure I can remember such a brilliant triple line up in one night without attending a full blown musical festival. Three bands just about removed the roof of the Odeon Theatre in Hobart and I left with a rictus grin I couldn’t remove for hours. Actually, it’s still there. Confidence Man and A. …

Live Review: Fall Out Boy + Support, Cardiff Motorpoint Arena 28.03.2018 plus Gallery
Getting to the top wasn’t easy for Fall Out Boy, going on hiatus in 2009 was probably the best thing they could’ve done as a band. Each member got to discover who they were individually, after growing up within the public eye as one unit. They returned to the scene again in 2013 full of …

Live: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, O2 Ritz Manchester – 3.12.17
This specific sold out show has had some hype behind it for a while, much like their album; Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes’ live show is acclaimed by most in the genre as being quite the spectacle. So of course support band Basement have a lot to do to warm the crowd. With their …
