Ashestoangels/Farewell My Love @ Thekla, Bristol
So for this review, I went on a boat ride (after a train ride across the border to the lovely rainy city of Bristol). The first challenge for me would be to get over my fear of boats and open water and actually get on the boat which I did complete with only a minor freak-out. But all in the name of music and to celebrate (and commiserate) the end of the British Horror Story Tour.

Downers – Noose
With fuzzy gained up guitars and strangely soothing vocals over the top, Downers' new EP Noose takes us on a trip right back to the roots of grunge music.

None more so then the humble Nass festival which is situated in South West England at the prestigious Bath and West Showground’s and yours truly was lucky enough to gain access to report the Simmonds Standard.
