See: Terminal Gods release video for Connection & Rupture + Tour Dates/Album News
According to my psychologist, the colour red is the most devious of colours, symbolising power, aggression, and sex. I dunno, but maybe that’s why London post-punk outfit Terminal Gods have decided to immerse themselves in swathes of it for their latest video… Shot by Massive Capital Video , ‘Connection & Rupture’ is taken from the bands debut album …
Track: Vulgarians – ‘Lost sanity smiles’ + Live Dates
Right from it’s ominous intro, ‘Lost Sanity Smiles’ is beautifully uncomfortable throughout as it drags you through the mire into a world where things are far from orthodox. Thankfully not for the mainstream, Vulgarians latest track takes a big heavy hammer and smashes a long rusty nail right into your heart… ‘Lost Sanity Smiles’ is out …
See: Sundrones release video for Kill me Baby
Rock’n’roll has some great stories to accompany the people behind the music.

Live: Trivium, Savage Messiah & As Lions, York Barbican – 29.3.16
As Lions prove unfazed by the lack of people inside the Barbican by the time they take to the stage, of what seems like a smaller version of Leeds Arena, the Barbican is the perfect fit for a Trivium tour not yet set for the big leagues of arena performances. The Fall is currently the …
Meet: Playing House interview

We caught up with Mel recently, to sit her down and find out …
See: Slow Riot release Trophy Wife video + Gig news
Slow Riot follow up their very well recieved EP ‘Cathedral’ with another cut of classic sounding post-punk. “Trophy Wife” see’s the band from Limerick, a town more notorious for knife play than music (although it did give us The Cranberries ), continue to drive along the new wave style way, twisting the basics laid down …
Meet: Spookyland and watcht the video for God’s Eyes
It’s been a few years since Australian band Spookyland visited europe, but for those that had the pleasure of catching them live, a distinct impression was made, not least for the rather unforgettable vocal style of lead singer Marcus. A pitch that borders too high, and a trill that sounds borderline nervy, somehow combine with …
Live: Cosmosis Festival, Manchester 12.03.16

Our mission -which we had already chosen to accept – lead us to the Victoria Warehouse and a rendezvous with our newly accredited Cosmic Cadets. Our task, to get them through twelve and half hours …

Live: The Cult – Leeds 8.3.2016
The Cult at Leeds Uni. I can remember saying that a few times in the past. Despite their flit to the states, world wide stadium shows and all that other razzamatazz, it still feels right and proper to me, that the one and only place to truly experience such an iconic band is right on …
