Giants Of Rock Kicks Out January Blues

Giants Of Rock Kicks Out January Blues

Some say that January is the longest month of the year. It's mostly gloomy, thanks to the bad weather and sad. Just look of your post-Christmas bank account. But, believe me, there is a remedy: Giants Of Rock, a three-day music festival in the heart of West Somerset,...

Live Snakerattlers Will Destroy Your Soul

Live Snakerattlers Will Destroy Your Soul

Hauling in from Yorkshire, Snakerattlers are this weird super villain duo from "THE NORTH". Think Pinky & The Brain in a band. Armed with a guitar and stand up drums and their only goal is to destroy the audience with their gritty and dynamic performances....

Tears For Fears Let It All Out At The O2 Arena

Last week, Curt Smith tweeted a photo from Tears For Fears’ tour rehearsals. Jamie Wollam is seated at a drum kit, chatting on his mobile. The caption reads: “so good he just phones it in”. It’s not just a bad pun. The drummer, like the three other musicians backing...

The 1975 Make The Human Connection At The O2

Jack White insists that fans hand in their phones before a show so they can have a “100% human experience”. Prince had men on stage armed with flashlights to blind anyone holding up their mobile. And, even less subtly, Nick Cave has been known to call out people who...

Def Leppard Pour Some Sugar On Wembley Arena

Ginger Wildheart Throws A Huge Birthday Bash

Thankfully Ginger Wildheart is still with us and capable of playing. It's a fact he underlines several times during his annual Birthday Bash show, casually saying he hadn’t intended having a birthday this year (which might sound a touch melodramatic). But, as he has...

Larkin Poe Storm Islington’s Assembly Hall

Larkin Poe are not a household name in the UK. They don’t have any albums or singles in the UK charts and haven’t visited our shores for over two years. Yet as I walk past the Islington Assembly Hall on North London’s famous Upper Street a good half hour before their...

Himalayas (Andy Ford)

HIMALAYAS Drop Latest Single ‘Surrender’

HIMALAYAS have released their new single Surrender, the latest song to be taken from their forthcoming album BAD STAR out April 25th via Nettwerk Music Group. Surrender is a foreboding cavernous rock track which examines uncritical loyalty to individuals and organisations, and the willingness to blindly accept anything they say. It also speaks to the inability to see why others may think differently, leading to further division instead of cooperation to achieve a common goal.
