  • Through Colour – Somnium

    Manchester based four piece Through Colour were first formed over a decade ago in North Wales, and in those ten years the band has experienced a fair amount of upheaval, with no real recording getting done until they made their big move to Manchester. But, even with creative juices finally flowing, that band weren’t content […]

    I sat down for a quick chat with the charming Ashestoangels before their recent one off show supporting DEAD at the Talking Heads. What followed was an entertaining, if slightly surreal, hour during which we discussed, among other things, the wisdom of giving out one’s home address on the internet, why you should always check […]

  • ‘Working at the Disney store must be the best job ever!’: An Interview with LostAlone

    I recently had the pleasure of chatting to Steven Battelle, the singer and lead guitarist of energetic rockers LostAlone, on the final night of their Seaside Rendezvous co-headline tour with the Fearless Vampire Killers, at the Bournemouth Sound Circus. We discussed, among other things, his love of film, raiding the kid’s clothes section of the […]

  • Ashestoangels – ‘With Tape and Needles’

    Bristol 4-piece Ashestoangels have been plugging away at the British music scene for some years now, with their gothic, synth driven rock and it’s clearly been a struggle. They’ve already weathered a couple of line-up changes and released one rather underrated album as they make their slow climb towards stardom, and it’s hard not to […]

  • LostAlone and Fearless Vampire Killers at the Sound Circus, Bournemouth (14/08/2013)

  • Buffalo Summer – Buffalo Summer

    Buffalo Summer have managed to release an album that is an excellent statement of intent.

  • Ashestoangels – ‘Dorian’

    Ashestoangels are a gothic alternative metal/rock band hailing from Bristol. While their traditionally gothic image may invite accusations of style over musical substance, latest single Dorian is a solid, catchy track with definite rock radio appeal which proves these criticisms are unfounded. Dorian begins with a gentle piano intro, which soon segues into a guitar […]

  • “We just love hot sauce!” An Interview with Pierce The Veil

    Recently, I was fortunate enough to speak to Jaime Preciado, bassist for up and coming post- hardcore innovators Pierce The Veil on the Portsmouth date of their most recent sell-out UK tour. He chatted to me about, among other things: hot sauce, bad crowds, and how exactly he ended up breaking his foot on the […]

  • Pierce The Veil at Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth (16/05/2013)

    Fast-rising Californian post-hardcore titans Pierce The Veil are once again gracing UK shores with their presence after the astonishing success of their sell-out headline tour last October. This time around, however, the venues are bigger (though still sold out), the supports acts higher profile and the crowd even more enthusiastic than ever before. Make no […]
