LIVE: Thrice @ London, Koko

If there’s one band who has evolved more elegantly than any other, it’s Thrice. After a few years on hiatus starting in 2012, there was doubt that the Californian four-piece would ever return, and if they did, would they just become another nostalgia act? Luckily that wasn’t the case

All That Remains – ‘Madness’

It might be 2017, but believe it or not metalcore is still a thing. To release music in a genre that can often sound dated but make it sound just as inspired as it was over 15 years ago, you have to either be bringing something new

LIVE: Real Friends / Can’t Swim @ Epic Studios, Norwich

In a climate where there’s ten a penny pop punk bands that are all style and no substance, groups like Real Friends, who speak up about real issues more than they do about their haircuts couldn’t be more important right now. On one of their biggest UK tours to date,

Pulled Apart By Horses – ‘The Haze’

Almost ten years ago, Leeds four-piece Pulled Apart By Horses arrived with a noise that hasn’t been embodied since. With the same physical aggression as the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan and Refused, along with the creativity and outright weirdness similar to Rolo Tomassi and Faith No More, they

LIVE: The Interrupters / The Bar Stool Preachers @ The Dome, London

Playing arenas every night is the dream for many bands. It’s one not many get to accomplish but for Californian four-piece The Interrupters, they have got to live out their dream. Having supported Green Day every night on their huge European tour, they’ve played their take on ska

LIVE: Avenged Sevenfold / Disturbed / In Flames @ The O2, London

From the moment they headlined Download Festival in 2014, Avenged Sevenfold made their intentions clear; they want to take the metal world on by storm. A7X are seemingly destined to have their name said in the same sentence as rock gods like Iron Maiden, Metallica and Guns ‘N’ Roses.

Anti-Flag – ‘Live Vol.1’

With demogorgon President Trump’s inauguration having just taken place, never has there been a more fitting time for Anti-Flag to raise their voice in form of a live album. Not only are their quick-fire paced songs filled with protest, they also encourage love and compassion for one and other,

Beans on Toast – ‘A Spanner In The Works’

Having long gotten rid of the stigma of just being Frank Turner’s mate, Beans on Toast has his own army of fans, and having stuck to his own made rule of a new album every year, released on the same day, the singer refuses to be out of touch

LIVE: Pierce The Veil / letlive. / Creeper @ O2 Brixton Academy, London

Pierce The Veil seem to be getting bigger by the day. The product of extreme promotion from all the typical rock outlets; they’ve been canonised by the media and tonight they play their largest show in London to-date. Filled with screeching fans, this is a chance for the Californian
