Live: We Came As Romans – The Key Club Leeds, 4.12.15
This six piece metalcore outfit are well versed in club shows so it’s no surprise how easy they make performing freely look on a stage as small as The Key Club’s. Regenerate is the perfect set opener, being both a fresh lease of life from the new self-titled album and having the combination of their …
Live Review: Bring Me The Horizon, Neck Deep and Pvris, Doncaster Dome, 26.11.15
After the release of 2013’s Sempiternal, Bring Me The Horizon solidified themselves as one of the world’s biggest young rock bands. However, if it’s at all possible, they’ve managed to take yet another step up into rock’s stratosphere with this year’s far more commercial offering, That’s The Spirit, which is a far cry from the …
Live Review: Judas Priest, Wolverhampton 26.11.15
Leather, Spikes and Roaring Motorbikes! So where to start reviewing such Legends of metal? After numerous changes (how many drummers?) and constant evolution of their sound over 45 years the Midland Metal Gods are making a return to their homelands, and what could be better? With Black Sabbaths “War Pigs”, blasted to introduce the band, …
Live: Nordic Giants. Belgrave Music Hall, Leeds 16.11.15
¥ What makes man different from others – is that he is aware of himself, he is able to reflect upon himself and analyse how his environment influences him. Millions of years of evolution has passed and the exploration of consciousness seems to have been forgotten – Are you ready to expand your consciousness ? ¥ …
Live: Skindred, Crossfaith, HedPe and Yashin, Leeds University Stylus
It’s a travesty, really, that bands with stature such as Crossfaith and especially Skindred aren’t playing bigger venues. However it has its advantages, because surely bands of such calibre, in such a small space can only be a really, really good thing. As Yashin take to the stage at the tender time of 6.30- to …
Live Review: Young Guns, Warehouse 23, Wakefield, 22.10.15
While many people in tonight’s crowd are still wondering what one of the leading bands in the UK’s rock contingent are doing in grey old Wakefield, its nonetheless exciting when said city is almost religiously omitted from band’s touring cycles. Vukovi are essentially pop-rock infused with strains of indie- excitably inoffensive, they add a pop …
Live Review: Mallory Knox At Manchester Ritz 29.09.15
Set It Off are part of the newest wave of pop-punk bands to grace the rock scene. While far from ground-breaking, their saccharine spirit provides the most energy this stage will see all night. The pace picks up from the very beginning, and stays there as Cody Carson stands on the barrier and puts his …

Live Review: A Wild Evening With Halestorm – Liverpool O2 Academy, 17.08.15
Branded as ‘A Wild Evening With Halestorm’, the audience were treated to an array of tracks; old and new, acoustic and electric, covers and originals.

Live Review: The Tubes – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 12.8.2015
Once upon a time The Tubes took their brand of rock theatrics out to stadiums but now on their 40th birthday tour they are still delivering the goods albeit in much smaller venues. In truth they are an old school rock band who somehow got caught up in New Wave, but who cares when you …
