Live Review: Ocean Alley / Hockey Dad – Roundhouse, London 02.09.2024
By Henry Groves Saturday night, sold out Roundhouse, Aussie rock band. I’m not sure there are 3 bigger hints that this was going to be one hell of a gig. This was the first of 2 Roundhouse shows for the psychedelic surf rock band, and despite being the other side of the world from home, …

Live Review: Cannibal Corpse / Municipal Waste / Immolation / Schizophrenia, O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester 27.09.2024
A colossal billing is a thing of beauty and this was certainly one to tempt me over the Pennines without even a second thought.
