Courage My Love, live at Garage Attic, Glasgow

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 […]

Calligram – Askesis

Released on November 24th, Calligram’s debut record Askesis is a dark brooding example of blackened hardcore. The combination of slow more expansive elements and the unadulterated fury of faster more extreme parts, will take the listener on a dark artistic journey. Being only six tracks long, there is no filler with each song bringing something […]

The Courtesans, Bullet Height & Digital Criminals @ The Moon, Cardiff

Opening the show tonight are Pontypool rockers Digital Criminals. They’re entertaining and show off some of their talent during their short set with frontwoman Emily Bates commanding the floor in front of the stage well. The only downpoint of their set was the length, with all sets having to be cut short due to curfew.

Seven Stories High- Deadweight

We’re heading for winter again people, nights are drawing in and it’s all cold outside. If like me that makes you a little sad then may I suggest a bit of fresh pop punk? Conveniently, Seven Stories High are releasing their EP Deadweight on November 24th. The Swansea pop punks have penned a four track […]

Palaye Royale – Boom Boom Room (Side A)

With a glam-goth look, old-school rock ‘n’ roll vibe, fashion-art rockers Palaye Royale are releasing their Boom Boom Room (Side A) album through Sumerian Records this week. They’ve gathered quite the fan-base who are impatiently awaiting the release of the record. Opener Don’t Feel Quite Right is catchy and has an old-school rock n roll […]

Forever In The Making – The Space In Between

Derby metalcorers Forever In The Making have released their debut EP The Space In Between. For a metalcore band, the opening to Bring The Fire is not what you expect with some atmospheric instrumentation. Danie Baugh’s vocals are some of the best in the industry in my opinion, she’s got that smooth, melodic style complete […]

The Starling Radicals – Promisedland Vol 1

This week (Friday the 24th), South Wales trio The Starling Radicals will be releasing their brand new EP, Promisedland Vol 1. The EP starts with I’m With Her. Immediately, the song is already catchy before the vocalist has even begun, always a good sign when you’re listening to a new song. Then, it becomes even […]

Long Island emo legends The Movielife returned to the stage they last played fifteen years ago this week to kick off a run of UK dates in support of their comeback record Cities in Search of a Heart.   Things kick off with an intense and atmospheric performance from the mysterious Guillotine, this quartet specialise […]
