LIVE: Electric River/ Colt 45 at Beercart Arms, Canterbury [03/03/13]

Marking the end of an eight date tour, the Kent city of Canterbury seemingly finds itself on the tour schedule due to the headliners Electric River’s local hometown of Ashford. Although running the danger of providing an anticlimactic end to proceedings, tonight retains the justifiable atmosphere that often accompanies

LIVE: The Ghost Inside/ Bury Tomorrow at Birmingham Academy 2 [21/02/13]

Tonight the Rock Sound/Impericon tour hits Birmingham, and it’s welcomed with exceedingly open arms. It’s no wonder, because the line up is absolutely stellar: The Ghost Inside, Bury Tomorrow, Stray From The Path and Landscapes. Tonight is set to be a rowdy one, and proceedings are started by the

LIVE: Black Light Burns at Camden Underworld, London [14/02/13]

Today is Valentine’s Day, and regardless of anything else, it’s a great night for shows in London. Black Light Burns, Wes Borland’s side project, are playing at the Underworld and Frank Carter’s Pure Love are playing at XOYO. The Underworld has a great turnout for the former, and it feels

LIVE: Pure Love at XOYO, London [14/02/13]

By seemingly singlehandedly holding up the helium business, London’s trendy underground haunt XOYO is looking more like a set for a 1950s teen romance or the prom scene from Carrie than the location for Pure Love’s first anniversary gig. Everything about tonight screams “stylish” – from the abundance of

LIVE: We Are The Ocean / Yashin / Straight Lines – Tunbridge Wells Forum [30/01/13]

We Are The Ocean suffered a more disruptive 2012 than most, beginning the year on a high from a number of highly acclaimed festival performances (indeed, pushing at the “best band of Reading/Leeds” accolade in 2011) and followed by the departure of Dan Brown shortly before a well-publicised unfortunate
