Live Review: Hong Kong Dong/the Poneymen, Le Hangar, Liege 15.04.2016
Le Hangar gigs are always an enjoyable affair. The Leffe prices are the best in town and there’s a large open fire in the centre of the room full of crackling logs, giving a cosy campfire ambience, (you still have to go outside to smoke though!). Tonight’s show is free, as part of a larger …
Live Review: Faultlines, Our Hollow Our Home and Cold Summer @ The Key Club Leeds, 15.04.16
Tonight the Key Club sees Leeds’ very own Faultlines release their EP, All We’ve Ever Known. Cold Summer take to the stage in front of a fairly sparse crowd, however this doesn’t seem to unnerve frontman Dan Feast even a little bit. He spends most of his time in the middle of the floor, much …
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 …
Say Psych: Album Review, Burning Up With… The Heads
I came fairly late to The Heads party. When I arrived I thought that all I was left with was to hoover up a few half empty cans and the dog-ends of some well-smoked spliffs. As I was getting more and more into the ‘psych’ scene The Heads were a band that I heard talked …
Live Review: Nothing But Thieves / Sundara Karma / Black Foxxes at the Leadmill, Sheffield, 11.4.16
Nothing But Thieves could almost be forgiven for taking things slightly easier on themselves tonight as they take to the stage at the Leadmill. They’ve had to recently reschedule several dates due to lead singer Conor’s illness but even more excitingly, the offer of a guest slot supporting arena and festival headline hoggers Muse on …
News: Tramlines Announces New Acts
Summer is coming. It won’t be long until we can sit outside in beer gardens with our favourite tipple. And you know what else goes hand in hand with the summer? Festivals! Sheffield is blessed with one of the most interesting in the summer line up. In past years we have boasted hugely eclectic line-up, …
Live: Rolo Tomassi, Terrible Love & Elegies – Picture House Social Sheffield – 12.04.16
As the crowd shuffle into an almost full Picture House Social local band Elegies kick into their own brand of metal pulling from elements of metalcore, hardcore and melodic rock. Despite being the first band they manage to draw a reasonably sized crowd and show their appreciation with a high energy set. The bands twin …
Live: Years & Years, 02 Apollo Manchester – 2/4/16
Through bright red beams, Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen make their way to the stage and flamboyantly eccentric frontman Olly Alexander is soon so follow as Foundation rings out around the 02 Apollo. Alexander is the polar opposite from the moment Foundation ends and Take Shelter begins. Its thudding drum beat causes a wild roar …
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 …
Live Review: The Neighbourhood, O2 Ritz Manchester – 20.3.16
After dropping their new album Wiped Out! Last year, this is the first chance to fully exhibit the album to the UK fanbase and the wonderfully picturesque O2 Ritz in Manchester is the setting for one of the final shows on the tour for The Neighbourhood. The smoke filled stage plays right into the opening …
