Live Review: Pinkshinyultrablast. Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 01.10.2015
Pinkshinyultrablast take the stage in a rather subtle, polite manner, take up their positions, twiddle a few knobs, tweak a few dials and ever so gently begin their set. Lyobuv’s ethereal vocals are instantly captivating as they float through the air. As we progress the intensity builds and within minutes you are acutely aware of …

Live Review: PiL – Manchester, 19.09.2015 + Gallery
A rather nonchalant Mr Lydon, stridently bimbles his way to the front, and a minor eruption occurs in front of him.
