ALTERNATIVE MUSIC REVIEWS

Sertraline @ Bananaman’s Bar, Edinburgh

Heading to Bananamn’s one of my favourite venues in Edinburgh, I was excited to see Sertraline with their new line up. Up first was Glasgow’s Splinting Halo. I have been trying to see these guys for a while but, had always missed them.  They have great heavy drums along with great heavy guitar riffs. But […]

Korn and Limp Bizkit @ Wembley Arena

Korn and Limp Bizkit, with a little help from Madball, brought nu-metal nostalgia to Wembley Arena on Friday night. It was perhaps a surprise to see New York hardcore band Madball on a bill with two of the biggest nu-metal bands of all time. But it turned out to be an inspired booking. Madball took […]

SAVIOUR-LET ME LEAVE

I’m sure most of us can agree that 2016 has been a terrible year, for a lot of reasons. But, with this year soon coming to an end, many of us anticipate what 2017 will hold for us. There’s a couple of things to look forward to, and that includes Saviour’s brand new album Let […]

Every Time I Die W/ ’68 & Drug Church @ The Brudenell, Leeds

Opening up this night of madness were alternative band Drug Church from Albany, NY. Combining punk rock old school chord progressions with solid rhythms and catchy riffs, letting hardcore style vocals sneak through, these guys didn’t disappoint. Frontman Patrick captivated the audience with his character and energy, almost resembling one of those drunken men preaching […]

Verse Metrics -We’ll Be Listening and Remembering Until We’re Old and Unsteady

Verse Metrics are a groove driven band from the City of Glasgow who formed in 2010. These four cats have released their latest EP at the beginning of December. The title I hear you ask? Well it’s a mouthful and a tongue twister of a title…here it is:- We’ll be listening and Remembering Until We’re […]

Steven Battelle – ‘Exit Brain Left’

Released December 2nd under his own label ‘Suffer For My Art’, Steven Battelle brought us his mesmerizing debut solo album, titled ‘Exit Brain Left’. Describing his own genre as ‘elaborate’, listening to the album it definitely accurately represents his music. It’s almost a case of David Bowie meets Enter Shikari and The Beatles, three bands […]

These Minds & Catch Fire Co-Headliner, Garage Attic, Glasgow

Heading to the familiar Garage Attic venue, I was taken back by how much it had been refurbished. It was now what I would call a good looking small venue. The booths are gone, the stage is raised, the annoying window behind the stage was covered and there was a curtain splitting the side stage […]

Red Hot Chili Peppers at the O2 Arena

After seeing Red Hot Chili Peppers earlier this year at Reading Festival, I was hoping for a spectacular night – and I got what I came for. BABYMETAL graced us with their strange, but amazing presence before the magic of the Chili’s. I was surprised when I heard BABYMETAL would be supporting RHCP, but excited […]

Sioux Falls- All Talk Is Small Talk

All Talk Is Small Talk is the new EP from Cheltenham based pop punk group, Sioux Falls who certainly don’t fall short. Released in November and consisting of five tracks it’s a solid set of songs! British pop punk has been on the rise in recent years and to me Sioux Falls embody all the […]

Grammy award winning American rock band Halestorm are well known for their near non-stop touring often […]

Renegade Twelve – Renegade Twelve

Brit metallers Renegade Twelve are pretty new to the scene, having formed in 2014, but in 2016 alone, have clocked up 100 shows on the road! The East Anglian quintet won me over with their energetic and entertaining live shows after seeing them playing alongside Speaking in Shadows and Elessar earlier this month, so I […]

JPNSGRLS – Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow

Starting the night were Sunny Devils. They provide a stripped back sound with great vocals, even if he was not really pushing his voice (either that or he was just that good). The drums are too soft at times but due to stripped back sound, you can’t have metal drum thrashes. Simple but elegant guitar […]

Celeb Car Crash – People Are The Best Show

Imagine a world where the mid-2000’s never ended. A happier place, full of Hot Topic t-shirts, mighty fringes, jeans tight enough to cut off any blood supply they may ever have again and My Chemical Romance still in existence (and not in that strange neon phase that accompanied ‘Danger Days’).  A time when eyeliner was […]

Ritual King – Elixir

The dynamic trio Ritual King are a three piece blues/ stoner rock band from Manchester. After putting their blood, sweat and tears into shows and intense writing where they put all their passion and work into creating a EP of tasteful blues riffs and funky rhythms. From this the EP Elixir was created. Originally the […]
