Silent Descent – Turn To Grey

Silent Descent are a 6 piece from Dartford UK and 12 years strong as they are on the verge of releasing their third full length album titled Turn To Grey which will blow your mind while you try and process all the exciting flavours. Think of this album like a packet of Jellybeans… You have […]

Eighteen Visions @ The Underworld London

Counting Days hit the stage hard to a crowd I could count before the opening song rings the last note really generating the setting of a classic DIY Hardcore show where everyone is dotted around the floor area shyly head banging in appreciation while the band do all the hard work in giving 100% of […]

Rise Against @ O2 Brixton Academy London

Arriving to a queue that wraps around the building and back to the entrance you expect gig goers want to pick their spot close to the front for the duration of what should be a stellar night, as PEARS (The band, not to be confused with the fruit) kick start the night while the Brixton […]

Interview with Jocke of Hardcore Superstar

Hardcore Superstar frontman Jocke was kind enough to sit down for an interview prior their set at O2 Islington Academy in London. Your new single ‘Have Mercy On Me’ was released in October, when are we expecting the new album? “Yeah, it’s coming out in March and we’re releasing a new single 13th December called […]

Fozzy & Hardcore Superstar @ O2 Islington Academy

Here we are at the O2 Islington Academy, kicking things off early at 6.30pm is The Last Band from Gothemburg with an extremely minimal turn out, cracking out some jokes of their place on the bill while ironically being the first band on. A cover of Bulls On Parade makes some friends in the building […]

LIFETIGHT – SELF-TIGHTLED (EP)

UK 4 piece LIFETIGHT have just released a banger (literally) on Crooked Noise Records which any Hardcore fan would be proud of. Opening with Energy is precisely what is done here, as a fuelled vocalist races through a pacey hardcore tone in his voice, a heavy and upbeat drum pattern and a low ending gritty […]

Local Music: Cornwall

  For those who don’t know, Cornwall is technically it’s own country within the UK. We have our own language, we have a toll bridge, and, well… A huge lack of music venues for artists to tread their feet into our beautiful county. That being said, Cornwall has produced a few big names for example, […]

Fortify – Valhalla EP

Essex easycore/heavy pop-punk mob Fortify have a new 5 track EP out titled Valhalla which will tug at the heartstrings for the UK pop punk scene looking to find new music. What About Us starts with a washy guitar and drum track gradually the frequency becomes more clear when all the instruments make themselves known […]

Perturbator – New Model EP

Perturbator wasn’t a name I was familiar with, even with the 70k Facebook followers I’d of thought maybe along the lines I would have heard of this, but to find out this EP was the works of a self proclaimed ‘Reigning Master of Darksynth’ I guess I was in for a surprise to take up […]

MyChildren MyBride – Vicious World

MyChildren MyBride are back releasing their fourth album after a 5 year gap since their self-titled album in 2012 which people will usually call the most important release of their careers, but these guys have put more blood, sweat and tears in providing this very unique sounding record with much diversity you can not rule […]

Papa Roach @ Brixton O2 Academy London

Well, direct support for Papa Roach is Ho99o9 who make themselves noticed with a pretty impressive sized banner but no real connection to this crowd. The energy on stage is there but the general combination of sounds in a hip hop and unpredictable and unclear metal fusion ideas fail to get a single person in […]

Waterparks w/Chapel & The Bottom Line @ The Underworld, London

After a 35 minute delay due to the necessity of erecting a barrier for this sold out show, The Bottom Line still take to the stage with full force as the Imperial March (Star Wars) theme starts up before opening with their latest single I Still Hate You, as the crowds reception is nothing short […]

Huxtable – Change Shape Future EP

Huxtable are a Scottish duo who have a huge influence from the likes of Royal Blood and fellow Scots-rockers Biffy Clyro, praise will be given for such an interesting combination of sounds, so without further ado, let us take you through the Change Shape Future EP. Don’t Do Anything Fancy opens with a gritty hard […]

Tigercub – Evolve Or Die EP

Evolve Or Die is the latest EP from Tigercub who have a huge list of accomplishments to date including tours with Royal Blood, The Fall and Pulled Apart By Horses to name a few, while also performing at Reading & Leeds and 2000 Trees Festival, the Brighton trio are set to make stardom, right? Let’s […]

Dead By April @ O2 Islington Academy

Soon after doors open a huge wall of sound rises through the house speakers to a fairly empty room as THECITYISOURS takes the stage by storm putting on a massively impressive show to kick things off, while the Islington Academy gradually starts to fill. A cover of Labrinth – Earthquake has people singing along, although […]
