Between playing tours and sharing stages with bands like Rise Against, the band have put together a four track EP that certainly shows their talents. At […]
Opening the night were West Midlands based Rock band Sister Shotgun with a hometown show. Although this band was plagued with tech issues during their set, with the way they handled it, they showed true professionalism! A fairground-esc walk on track started, reminding me of similarities to ‘A Little Piece of Heaven’ by Avenged Sevenfold, […]
Bristol’s post-hardcore quartet Everyday Sidekicks are back with their new EP Hope. The record is set for release on March 31st and they bring the heavy. The EP is a major progression from it’s predecessor and a pretty darn good one too! Opening track Glass House is angsty and has an interesting melody. The vocals […]
I was very curious about seeing Car Bomb live as not only had I not heard of them previously, I was also new to the mathcore genre.

After the release of third EP The Stranger (Roadrunner Records, 2016), the band’s disappearance and the story of James Scythe sent fans into a frenzy and attracted media attention throughout the world. During this […]
On a day where the people of Wales descended on Cardiff to celebrate the final day of the 2017 RBS Six Nations Championship (and drown their sorrows after Wales’ heartbreaking loss to France), rock fans were heading to Cardiff University’s Great Hall for a different reason.
