A colossal billing is a thing of beauty and this was certainly one to tempt me over the Pennines without even a second thought. The venue, the O2 Victoria Warehouse, was one that I had never had the pleasure of patronising before but once the trauma of the parking demographics was navigated and I had …

With only two days since the release of their latest opus, ‘We Are Not Robots’, I found my way treading the boards of the M62 over the Pennines to the Academy 2 for another evening with the lovely gents from Bradford. Having had the new album pretty much on constant repeat, the new anthems were …

So, it’s been just under three weeks since we caught the charismatic Infected Rain at Bloodstock with their impressive set on the Sophie Stage and this time round we had an appointment with them in the cosy and oppressive surroundings of the Rebellion Club in Manchester.

The last day saw a huge turnout on the Main Stage and it was all in aid of Raised By Owls and their brand of light hearted Death Metal. From the moment the band kicked into their set the crowd erupted and it was clearly obvious that band and crowd alike were certainly living their …

Day two, the first feature-length day, sees a wake-up call courtesy of UK powerhouse Rock trio Haxan and their competent riff-loaded tunes. Bolini’s vocals were aggressive and controlled, while the drum work behind her was natural and workhorse-esque. All blending together to create punchy and catchy Rock tunes that had you nodding your head, tapping your toe, …

An annual pilgrimage, a field in deepest darkest Derbyshire and as much metal as you can physically absorb for four days must mean only one thing, it was time for Bloodstock 2024. With the Thursday historically serving in recent years as an amuse-bouche, Bloodstock seems to have stepped it up a gear this year and …

By Nestor Salgado A Day to Remember headlined The Moda Center in Portland, OR, on 7/14/24 during “The Least Anticipated Album” Tour. The opening acts included prominent bands The Story So Far, Four Year Strong, and Scowl. The opening bands were a great start to a memorable evening. I was extremely impressed with The Story …

This was my first outing at the monstrous Co-Op Arena. After I had navigated my way to the car park and then the perimeter of the Manchester City Etihad Stadium, I found myself traversing the outskirts of the Arena and then hitting the mesmerising innards of the new complex, and it was truly magnificent.

A night of unusual and slightly frightening post-punk tonight with the visually striking Evil Blizzard headlining Stockton’s Old Theatre. They brought along London’s Angerland along to tenderise the audience beforehand. Tenderise they did with brutal bursts of political-tinged punk. The four-piece delivered driving heavy rock riffs mined from the depths of post-punk and powered along …
