A dank winter night in Sheffield didn’t dampen anyones enthusiasm as indie high rollers, err, rolled into town for a date at the Queens Social Club in the Steel City.

Peter Perrett is living proof that there is absolutely no rhyme and reason to who becomes successful in the music biz. He was the frontman of the Only Ones who produced three brilliant albums, but all bombed despite massive critical acclaim, and an all-time stone classic single – Another Girl, Another Planet.

And so this was it, the last show for Screaming Maldini. The room was packed with people that came together to give them the send off they deserved with a mix of absolute enthusiasm and tears. Coming onto the stage one by one, each member was greeted with a roar of applause and cheering, Maldini …

  Amazingly this was the first time I had got to see Kogumaza live. I have enjoyed them from afar for a long time, but somehow always managed to miss them in the past, so I was very happy to see that they were supporting Hookworms at the launch gig for The Hum album. The …

The Heartbreaks are a band who know how to look after you. When I arrived at the Bodega in Nottingham last night, I found drummer Joe Kondras and lead guitarist Ryan Wallace telling staff how important it was they let me in. Great start, boys. The Heartbreaks are the first band I ever fell in …
