Hopes Die Last Gig Review

This gig was, in theory, one that had the perfect line-up. Coming all the way from Australia, Hands Like Houses have been making waves on the UK circuit for a while now and everyone was pretty eager to catch them live. So when The Elijah and Violet were added to the line-up too, it was a gig […]

Follow You Home First Headline Gig

On the 6th May, I headed to the Star & Garter in the lovely town that is Burton-on-Trent, to see up-coming band Follow You Home’s first ever headline gig. The guys have been making waves in the Midlands music scene and after hearing their tracks on Facebook, I was really looking forward to seeing them live. Arch […]

The Blackout Gig Review – 9th April 2011

If you haven’t heard of The Blackout, where on earth have you been? After the release of their first album The Blackout! The Blackout! The Blackout! back in 2006, the band has gone from a group of cheeky unknowns to pop rock superstars, all within a few years. They are now quite at home on various different […]

Morning Parade : More Than Just A Support

Opening for such an influential indie band as The Wombats is a difficult task, yet Essex-five piece Morning Parade took on this challenge effortlessly and set exceptionally high standards last night at the O2 Academy.
Never before, have I witnessed a support band warm up an audience so swiftly and with such enthusiasm and ease. With previous gigs, supporting […]

Senses (don't) Fail

So on the 24th February, I headed to the good old O2 Academy 2 in Birmingham again, this time to see one of my old favourites Senses Fail. There was an added bonus that fellow New Jersey pop punk band Man Overboard were the main support and it really was a buy one get one free kind of […]

Gig Review : The Amity Affliction

On a very cold 11th December, I set off to the O2 Academy in Birmingham, primarily to see one of my favourite up and coming bands of the year– The Amity Affliction. I was looking forward to this gig from the very moment that I first heard that the band were returning to the UK, off the back of […]

Gig Review : You Me At Six

The first time I saw You Me At Six live was 3 or 4 years ago when they were headlining at a Bar Academy, playing to a room that was only just half full (ever the optimist). Since then I have seen them several times both as support acts or rocking out on festival stages, either way simply just launching […]

Stagecoach : Plug ‘N’ Play

Paris Fleche d'Or -Yup

This Surrey-bred band gave us spectacle of happiness at Reading’s Plug ‘n’ Play. Stagecoach are an up and coming British quintet with a US indie sound. Dressed in their skinnies and the T-shirt’s of inspirational bands, they demonstrated the true spirit of Indie.
Lead singer Luca tells us that their main influences sprung from the […]

It's Time for Dancing

‘Don’t think I won’t do it. I will come out there and get you dancing.’ The audience looks slightly dumbfounded at this proclamation coming from the Eleven 37’s stage. ‘I’ve got a megaphone and I am prepared to use it.’
Though unsure of a how a megaphone would have assisted Jamie Topp, lead vocalist of the band, with this particular challenge, the determination […]

Crystal Castles at Bristol University

Listening to an entire Crystal Castles album can be a somewhat garish affair, and not something for the faint at heart. It takes a while to pull apart the songs and hear what is sometimes genuine beauty beneath the migraine-inducing noise. They do make quite a racket for a band consisting of only two people, and it would seem […]
