I’m lucky enough to have stumbled upon The Temperance Movement whilst they were still playing tiny venues; when much of the set was acoustic and vocals were performed from in front of the microphones. In the last couple of years and on the back of two critically...
If Royal Blood and Muse had a baby, it would sound like Nothing But Thieves. Which is not meant to say that they’re directly generic but that they’re very talented. In fact, ridiculously so. The Trinity Centre in Bristol is sold out and full of eager, rowdy music...
So a band that’s just been nominated for two Grammy Awards are playing in London. What’s your first guess on where they’re going to play? The Forum, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, or maybe Brixton? Well that’s not the Highly Suspect way of doing things, so instead they’re...
Rock stars can be a grumpy bunch can’t they? So to go along to a gig, where the performer smiles almost as much as the fans in the front row is a really pleasant change. In fact I’d even suggest that after tonight’s album launch gig, at the 100 Club Chantal McGregor...
Just two nights after levelling The Academy Dublin and with Manchester’s O2 Ritz in their sights, Foo Fighters storm the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire for the second of three word-of-mouth, in-person-ticket-only club shows. No pre-sale frenzy. No dynamic pricing warfare. Just queues round the block and 2,000 devotees crammed into the Empire like it’s 1996 again.

On a bitterly cold Wednesday night in Camden, Manchester hard rockers Hot Milk turned London’s Roundhouse into a sweat-soaked pressure cooker of chaos, catharsis, comedy and pure community. Fronted by the unstoppable duo of Han Mee and Jim Shaw, with Tom Paton...
Alt-pop icon Lorde has officially announced her long-awaited return to the global stage with the Ultrasound 2025 headline tour, marking her biggest and most ambitious live run yet. The announcement comes hot on the heels of the reveal of her upcoming fourth studio album, Virgin, due out on 27th June.
"Thanks for letting this record be a part of your lives, it's literally given us ours" Brandon Boyd gushes at the conclusion of the Morning View portion of tonight's set, at a show celebrating the Calabasas, California band's seminal 2001 record. And what a record it...
Members of the Clergy gathered this Easter Saturday at London’s O2 Arena to see the latest incarnation of melodic metal band Ghost. Expectations were high as this was to be just the third show of the Skeletour with ‘new’ singer Papa V Perpetua – Tobias Forge takes on a new persona for each album cycle of Ghost’s career to date, almost like having a new Pope, extremely topical this particular weekend.
