  • Peace at the Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth (23/04/2013)

    I have to say, Portsmouth really is a lovely town, I was pleasantly surprised at how picturesque it looked, basking in the evening sun. This scene appeared particularly appropriate for seeing a band like Peace play live: soothing, occasionally feeling some intense heat on the back of your neck, but for the most part genuinely […]

  • Biffy Clyro – ‘Biblical’

    Biffy Clyro’s new single ‘Biblical’ is an epic portrayal of what could be a number of different stories placed into a single song, entirely dependent upon the listener’s interpretation.
