Live Review: Long Division Festival. Wakefield, 10-12.6.2016
Long Division 2016 launched itself into the weekend with post-punk outfit Gang of Four. For some reason they’ve been crammed into the smaller hall at Unity Works which makes for a sweaty, intimate start to the weekends shenanigans. As is tradition from previous years, the support for the evening comes from an up and coming local …
Live Review: Larkin Poe – Stereo Glasgow, 22 May 2016 Plus Gallery
Larkin Poe proved they are hot property as they rocked a sweat-soaked Stereo. On a night where you can feel the sweat trickling down your back into a pool at the bottom of your spine the Glasgow basement that is Stereo is packed and sweltering by the time Larkin Poe take to the stage. The …
Live Review: Camden Rocks Festival, 4/6/16
Camden Rocks Festival as a whole is much like a live set from a band that is hotly tipped to have the craziest show. It’s chaos; running around, things happening every which way you turn, with the constant feeling you’re missing something because there is just SO much happening. It’s also absolutely excellent, with so …
Gallery: Courage My Love – Leeds Milo’s Bar, 21/05/16

Live: Butcher Babies, Sumo Cyco – Rebellion Bar Manchester, 16/04/16
Sumo Cyco, fronted by a very Harley Quinn looking Skye Sweetnam, completely unravel the crowd from their self-conscious mind-set by hanging out at the back of the Rebellion Bar, being such a small show with such a small crowd Sumo Cyco present an oddly infused physical look; multi coloured hair, blue bears and marching band …
Live: Trivium, Savage Messiah & As Lions, York Barbican – 29.3.16
As Lions prove unfazed by the lack of people inside the Barbican by the time they take to the stage, of what seems like a smaller version of Leeds Arena, the Barbican is the perfect fit for a Trivium tour not yet set for the big leagues of arena performances. The Fall is currently the …
Say Psych: Meet, Mugstar
Mugstar appear to be on a roll at the moment. With a new album, Magnetic Seasons, receiving rave reviews (my rave review is here), and a reputation as an amazing live band that just seems to get bigger. This seemed a great time to find out more about the band and how it has taken …
Live: Cosmosis Festival, Manchester 12.03.16
Myself and the Shoegaze Brigade touched down in Manchester early, ditched the vehicle for safe keeping and headed out of town. Our mission -which we had already chosen to accept – lead us to the Victoria Warehouse and a rendezvous with our newly accredited Cosmic Cadets. Our task, to get them through twelve and half hours …
Live, The Stranglers, Birmingham 02 Academy, 12.03.16
I don’t really know how to begin. I’ve been seeing The Stranglers live for nearly forty years. There is no band that I have seen more times than this one. I’ve seen The Stranglers be brilliant, and I have seen The Stranglers when they appear to have lost their collective way and fall short of …
