LIVE: All Time Low/ Lower Than Atlantis/ The Summer Set at Bristol Academy [12/02/13]

Bristol Academy has probably never seen a bigger queue than tonight. Sure, there have been sold out shows, but rarely do bands have such an effect on their teenage fans that they need to queue up hours before in the freezing cold (unless they’re One Direction). All Time Low

LIVE: Funeral For A Friend at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff [28/01/13]

Tonight’s line up consists of Red Bull Bedroom Jam winners IDivide, New Jersey’s Major League, New York’s Such Gold, and last but not least, hometown heroes Funeral For A Friend. All three support bands do a stellar job of warming up for South Wales’ sweethearts, but especially Such

INTERVIEW: Heaven’s Basement

After touring with some incredible bands and really starting to make their mark on the rock scene, Heaven’s Basement released their debut full-length ‘Filthy Empire’ a couple of weeks ago. We had a chat with frontman Aaron Buchanan about what they’ve got coming up in the future, Red Bull

INTERVIEW: ASKING ALEXANDRIA

A couple of weekends ago, Punktastic headed down to Brixton Academy to speak to Ben Bruce, lead guitarist and founder of Asking Alexandria, before their biggest UK headline show to date. We talked pyrotechnics, rock ‘n’ roll and taking over the world. HOW ARE YOU? Ben Bruce: I’m alright, I’m tired

LIVE: Asking Alexandria/ While She Sleeps/ Motionless In White at Brixton Academy, London [19/01/13]

Tonight is Asking Alexandria’s biggest UK show to date, and despite already conquering America, this is the first time AA can really feel like they’ve well and truly conquered their homeland. It’s a spectacular night and a fantastic line up: with Motionless In White and While She Sleeps providing

INTERVIEW: Papa Roach

A couple of weeks ago, the legendary Papa Roach came to London to play two shows at Brixton Academy with Stone Sour. We went and hung out in their dressing room to get the lowdown on feeling festive, the end of the world and what we should expect

LIVE: Papa Roach at Brixton Academy, London [11/12/12]

Tonight is the second night in a row that Papa Roach will completely and utterly smash Brixton Academy into shreds. The line up should by rights be a co-headline stint with Stone Sour, but technically tonight Papa Roach are considered the support act. This is definitely a misdemeanour, because

LIVE: Canterbury at Tunbridge Wells Forum [14/12/12]

As Canterbury proclaim that tonight is formed of two British bands supporting another British band, and that tonight is set to prove that British rock music is not dead (arguably we are unsure who might have suggested this in the first place), they manage to put a lot of

LIVE: This Town Needs Guns at Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, Brighton [07/11/12]

Since the departure of the previous members in 2011, the remaining members of This Town Needs Guns have had a fresh album on the horizon, ’13.0.0.0.0’, which is due out next year, and tonight will be a good insight as to what to expect from it. The show is initiated

LIVE: The Bronx at The Quarterhouse, Folkestone [18/11/12]

Tucked away in the corner of the garden of England (Kent), The Quarterhouse plays host to a number of significantly respected bands over the course of a year. Tonight the reasonably sized yet suitably intimate venue welcomes Los Angeles hardcore-punk behemoths The Bronx into its midst,
