Live Review: Holy Holy – The Odeon Theatre, Hobart 06.05.22
We’ve interviewed them, reviewed their last album (which was listed by Backseat Mafia in the top 100 releases of last year), and now we had a chance to see the magnificent Holy Holy tread the boards in the much COVID delayed but highly anticipated ‘Hello My Beautiful World’ tour. This was a magnificence performance, buoyed …
Live: Confidence Man/A. Swayze and the Ghosts/King Stingray – Dark Mofo Festival 2021
I’m not sure I can remember such a brilliant triple line up in one night without attending a full blown musical festival. Three bands just about removed the roof of the Odeon Theatre in Hobart and I left with a rictus grin I couldn’t remove for hours. Actually, it’s still there. Confidence Man and A. …

Live: The Amity Affliction + Support, Church Leeds, 03/10/18
The nights are getting darker and the leaves are tumbling from the trees so it must mean it’s time for the annual fall tour season. Each year The Amity Affliction ditch the Australian summer and dig out their winter coats as they spend time in Europe and the UK towards the end of the year. …
Live Review: Fall Out Boy + Support, Cardiff Motorpoint Arena 28.03.2018 plus Gallery
Getting to the top wasn’t easy for Fall Out Boy, going on hiatus in 2009 was probably the best thing they could’ve done as a band. Each member got to discover who they were individually, after growing up within the public eye as one unit. They returned to the scene again in 2013 full of …
Live: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, O2 Ritz Manchester – 3.12.17
This specific sold out show has had some hype behind it for a while, much like their album; Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes’ live show is acclaimed by most in the genre as being quite the spectacle. So of course support band Basement have a lot to do to warm the crowd. With their …
Live Review: You Me At Six, Tonight Alive – Doncaster Dome, 7.4.17
You Me At Six have, as lead vocalist Josh Franceschi puts it “done everything we wanted, and now we’re just doing it for fun.” Considering the band are set to headline Reading And Leeds’ second stage come August, it’s quite the bold statement in regards to the bands goals. They’re here for the fun and …
Live: Beartooth – O2 Ritz Manchester, 12/12/16
As the weather gets colder, it only gets hotter and hotter inside the O2 Ritz in Manchester, last week they were graced with The Amity Affliction and exactly a week later they have another set of alternative and metalcore bands playing the stage, to possibly some of the same fans. Trash Boat, with something a little reminiscent …
Live Review: An Evening With Black Stone Cherry – Sheffield City Hall, 28.11.16
“An Evening With” is becoming an ever more popular way of touring, Halestorm graced us with their “Evening with” last year, but only playing two dates across the country (Liverpool and London). This Black Stone Cherry tour is colossal in comparison. 13 dates in the UK, including two dates at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire. Not …
Live: Farro – The Key Club Leeds, 18/11/16
It’s hard to avoid the Paramore subject even after six years, there are still going to be people who are interested in what Josh Farro is doing because they were/still are a fan of Paramore. Even the posters advertising the show in Leeds read “ex-paramore” at the bottom. But you would be mistaken to think …
