Supporting the Leeds indie-pop outfit were local bands The Ultraviolet and Albany. Marsicans, who have made it to Spotify’s The Indie List, and been featured on YouTube alternative […]Read More
Benjamin Coyle-Larner, under the moniker Loyle Carner, dropped undoubtedly one of the hottest releases of 2017 last month in the form of his debut LP, Yesterday’s Gone. An album taking influence from old-school hip hop and to an extent the present grime scene, Loyle Carner’s first offering has gained him unreal notoriety, with his current […]Read More
With the cold and dark Glaswegian winter nights drawing in, sparks were sure to fly on Sauchiehall Street as The Temper Trap graced Scotland’s biggest and best city with their presence once again. Back in May, they entertained the Art School, a month after releasing their fourth studio album, Thick As Thieves. Having toured the record […]Read More
Promoting their 11th album, psych-rock giants Primal Scream brought their UK tour to the seaside city of Portsmouth. Support for the evening came from London noise rock quartet Bo Ningen, building a wall of sound, and playing a set reminiscent of a Ride/Neu! lovechild. As the four-piece wrapped up, the Pyramids Centre began to swell as influxes […]Read More
On a chilly Thursday night in Glasgow, I was completely blown away. At Glasgow’s newest music venue, St Luke’s, Honeyblood and PINS seemed to completely fill the whole venue with energy, sound and stage presence. I arrived at St Luke’s at roughly 7:30 PM, getting a picture of the mural outside. St Luke’s is a […]Read More
Monday night: my flatmate and I skipped across our university campus, not for a late-night study session at the library, but to watch Blossoms play our student union. It was an odd sensation, knowing a band you’ve spent all year listening to were going to perform in the place you know only for Saturday nights […]Read More
Thirdstory may not quite be the biggest of bands, but they’re well on their way to becoming a household name. The trio have currently embarked on their own tour since supporting Tori Kelly on her 2016 Breakaway tour and I got the chance to pop in and watch their second London show in Oslo Music […]Read More
Underneath Manchester’s Picadilly Station, Harley Streten A.K.A Flume closed off his European tour in ridiculous style as part of the Warehouse Project season. Tight and intimate in the brick-walled space it’s a completely different environment to the vastness of London’s Alexandra Palace the night prior and likely the smallest crowd the Australian producer has played […]Read More
Having to reschedule a date on a tour usually leaves a sour taste to the evening, though this was not to be the case, with Jamie T ripping the roof off the Brixton Academy on a school night.

The album promotes […]Read More
Brighton based once-upon-a-time trio The Wytches have been subject of a lot of praise from myself of late, and tonight’s gig at the Wedgewood Rooms proved just why. After the sludge of Violet Mud, and the frenzy that was Bad Breeding, the headliners filed on stage to the background of the eerie intro of their […]Read More
Sydney’s ice-cool upcoming indie rockers, DMA’S, graced London town in swaggering and confident fashion on Monday 24th November. The outfit performed a triumphant set to adoring fans in the iconic setting of Camden’s Electric Ballroom. The show began with an enjoyable set from support act Splashh. Thumping bass-lines drove their unique indie rock songs, but their meanderings […]Read More
After a festival season to be envious of, one of 2016’s most hyped bands Spring King took to the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth on their biggest headline tour to date. The first time I saw Spring King was roughly a year ago supporting Slaves just down the road at the Portsmouth Pyramids; a lot has […]Read More
After playing over 130 shows in 2015 alone, having recently released an album and coming off the back of a US tour, you would forgive the boys of Glass Animals to be a bit fatigued as they arrived in Brighton on a blustery Saturday night. However as they graced the near sell out crowd of […]Read More
