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: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes / Cassyette / Lynks, Manchester Academy, 25.11.2021
Words: Chloe Ross Pictures: Erin Moore Following the October release of their highly anticipated fourth album, Sticky, Thursday night at Manchester Academy certainly kept in theme with that title, with a post-lockdown crowd positively frothing at the mouth from the get-go for a night of raucous live music.

See: Witch Fever release visually striking new video for ‘Bully Boy’
Manchester’s Witch Fever have released a video for ‘Bully Boy‘. The inspiration came from The Witch Trials but seen through the lens of drag queens and CBeebies. Uncompromising and violent in parts but presented in a cartoonish style. Bold and completely over the top, no-one was harmed in the making of this video as it …
