Glassjaw released their first album in 15 years back at the start of December! Opening with New White Extremity, you’re met with an enticing riff and emo-like melodies. Both of which are staple features throughout the album. The atmospheric ‘aahs’ that open Golgotha bring a lighter feel to what is Glassjaw‘s heaviest work to date, […]
Walking into Fuel almost halfway through the opening set due to extra artists being added to the bill and trains being delayed, I’m met with a brutal assault from Spanish metallers Homizide! I honestly can’t find the words to describe just how brutal they are! But one thing I can say is, that for someone […]
It’s a cold night here in the streets of London, as I brawl my way to Jingle Bell Brawl at Roadtrip & The Workshop in Old Street, showcasing 4 upcoming artists in the heavier spectrum of music. Take The Backseat, Casey start the night off a little later than scheduled as some early supporters […]
The last month of the year is sometimes the most surprising and for me it certainly is because I got this new EP to review. Human is the debut EP from The Night Suns. A band formed only last year in London. They’ve spent their time crafting not only this EP but their sound to […]
2D, Noodle, Murdoc, and Russel (and an incredibly talented live band) took to Manchester Arena on the 1st December for a night of animated fun. The only permanent member of the band, Damon Albarn, spent most of the night sing-rapping along, playing keyboard and guitar, and jumping around the stage, and generally being an excellent front-man; […]
Bristol based trio Mutant-Thoughts released EP Is This Me back in September. Opening with the title track, we’re faced with a psychedelic piece that is mellow and atmospheric. At almost 8 minutes long, it does seem to be a bit longer than necessary but it’s a track that you can put on and relax to. […]
Asking Alexandria return with their self-titled fifth record. And the return of frontman Danny Worsnop. Much has been documented about the band and its members over the years including voicing concerns over the change in sound. With this album, we see the most varied sound from the quintet. Opening the self-titled record is Alone In […]
Opening the show is Grumble Bee performing an acoustic set. It’s literally dead quiet in the venue as all eyes and ears are on Jack, admiring his incredible vocals and songwriting ability, with his mum even listening in on the phone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a Grumble Bee acoustic set but it’s […]
Lightscape released their new EP Circles last Friday. Opening track By Design brings an ambient feeling to rock. The vocals are intriguing and the track itself is super catchy. It’s one of those songs that you will catch yourself humming days after listening. Title track Circles is another that will get stuck in your head. […]
Kicking off the night was Sixth Letter. This Rap metal or should I call it nu-metal band came out firing on all cylinders. Along with their music were very fun and entertaining jokes I’m sure I would have got if I was a local. Not sure what “fuck the cheeses” is about but, when in […]
Starting the night off was Entry Room. They had an awesome vocalist who remind me of Matt Bellamy (Muse). The guitar play was a bit basic and the drum play was too soft for my liking. Good set but need to do more that rely on the vocals. But hats off to them for not […]
Winter is well and truly here, it’s time for hats and scarves to come out, Christmas adverts to come on and as fate would have it, the ideal time for sittingthesummerout to release their sophomore EP Brick and Mortar. It’s a reflection upon the summer as a season that makes some and breaks others, with […]
Two years on from debut Forget Your Ghosts, alternative rockers Phoenix Calling are back. November 17th this Cambridgeshire five-piece released Our Lost Hearts all for your pleasure. Tunes from their previous entity received extensive air play on Kerrang Radio, Kerrang TV and Scuzz. Will Phoenix continue to rise and torch the sky with their music. […]
Green Day are everyone’s favourite punks and over their 31 year career, they’ve released countless albums and hit singles! The trio have released their second greatest hits album, following 2001’s International Superhits! But Greatest Hits: God’s Favorite Band also sees the inlcusion of two brand new tracks! Opening is 2000 Light Years Away, a nice […]
Starting The night off was local pop punks Wasted Summer. The one thing that instantly catches your attention about this band is Steph’s impressive vocals, she is able to mix it up with holding those notes or add grit for some edginess. However, tonight was not her greatest performance, as at times her breathing let her down […]
