    Kids in Glass Houses – ‘The Best is Yet to Come’

    The fourth single from KIGH second album, Dirt, comes in the form of ‘The Best is Yet to Come’ – a guilt-free pleasure, with soaring guitar riffs and a beat that is infectious to the extreme. As with all KIGH records, I am a little baffled as to the exact ‘meaning’ behind the lyrics, and […]

    McFly

    When I told people I was going to see McFly at the Guildhall, I was greeted with such scathing responses that I was beginning to wonder if I was making a huge mistake. Yes, they were cool when we were fourteen, but can the foursome really be relevant or enjoyable to anyone not still at […]

    Alexisonfire, the Demigods of Hardcore

    November 5th, Portsmouth Pyramids Having only recently come around to appreciation of the hardcore/punk rock scene that Alexisonfire epitomise, I was unsure what to expect from their show at the Pyramids.

    Put A Cover On It… Hall of Fame pt. 1

    80’s Pop Goes Ska… Reel Big Fish – ‘Take On Me’ Originally the lovechild of 80’s popsters A-Ha, Reel Big Fish’s ska reincarnation of the classic tune is exceptional. There is nothing like hearing the iconic riff squealed through guitars and trumpets. In very few cases can you say that the cover version excels the original, […]

    The Greatest Live Acts Ever: All Time Low

    Having only been really around for a total of seven years, you may wonder why I believe that All Time Low deserve to be amongst the likes of KISS in The EDGE list of top gigs. They may not hold legendary status, and they may not be able to boast platinum selling albums, but there […]
