Live Review: Altered Images – 229 Great Portland Street, London 18.03.2022
Blame the internet. Time is warped. Everything is now….and everything then…is now too. Without the internet, the hunger and desire to see bands from “back in the day” may not exist outside the mind of some aspic-encrusted nostalgia radio geek. All hail the global jukebox. Nobody in 1983 said “I’m just popping out, I’ve got …
Live review: The Chats / Chubby and the Gang / Dennis Cometti – 3Olympia, Dublin 22,04,2022
Tonight its a full on assault to the senses from three of the finest new generation Punk bands, those being Dennis Cometti / Chubby and the Gang & headliners The Chats.

Live Review: Marduk / Vader / Impalement – Rebellion, Manchester 17.03.2022
Due to the early door times of 18.00 and the notorious Trans Pennine traffic, I disappointingly got toRebellion just to hear the closing chords of the opening band on this monstrous tour package dyingout inside as I was stood in the queue outside, annoying. Anyway, when I got into the venue, I quickly scoped out …

Live Review: Curved Air – The 100 Club, London 16.03.2022
The sun has never set for some of those veterans from the dawning of the age of Aquarius. The hippy dream may have died as many of those flower children became accountants and acquisitive members of a fresh elite – but the music, and some bands from that era, live on. Members have come and …
Live Review: Lynks / Jessica Winter / Straight Girl – Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds 23.03.2022

The Leeds show also marked the halfway point of the 2022 tour. Opening the show was STRAIGHT GIRL, an electropunk artist based locally in Leeds. As …

The Scratch’s show in the 3Olympia Theatre was another highly anticipated show originally meant to take place in the Academy a little under 2 years ago. The show was since upgraded to the 3Olympia due to extra demand! The Scratch are a 4 piece acoustic act from Dublin that mix genres from traditional Irish to …
Live Review: Cedric Burnside – The Republic Bar, Hobart, 17/03/2022 and Port Cygnet Cannery, Cygnet 18/03/2022.

The three-times Grammy-nominated artist brought his Gospel of Mississippi Hill Country blues to the Apple Isle, with shows in Launceston, Hobart and Port Cygnet. This year’s visit Down Under was a welcome relief to those who were …

Say Psych: Live Review: A Place to Bury Strangers, Plattenbau & HAU @ Temple, Athens 19.03.2022
Tonight it’s a pleasure to be at Temple, Athens (Greece) where a band who need no introduction, A Place to Bury Strangers, are supported by two who do. Opening are local duo HAU who offer distorted noise to the early birds of the event. These guys know how to make some noise and mash up …
