Live Review: Twenty One Pilots – UBS Arena, Elmont, NY 24.08.2022
A self-starter indie band reaching global stardom at an accelerated rate can be both a blessing and a curse. Several years in, Twenty One Pilots are still putting on an exceptional large-scale show to a broad, dedicated fan base.

Live Review: Supersonic Festival – The Mill,7SVN, Birmingham 10.07.2022
Birmingham’s Supersonic, that compact but perfectly realised gathering which The Quietus have designated ‘the mother of British underground festivals’, returned live to central Brum last weekend after a two year COVID hiatus and, judging by the final day, readily reclaimed its deserved touchstone status. Revered but relatively conspicuous in the festival furore, Supersonic is not …
