Everything from Strategy Wanks to Pimpin’ of the mediocre kind. The Midnight Beast have it all, and gave it all, to the crowd at Southampton’s Guildhall.
The Maine, a band from Tempe, Arizona. A band you probably haven’t heard of. A band I urge you to get involved with and listen to. I had a chat with the extremely charismatic frontman John O’Callaghan before their show at the Camden Electric Ballroom back in September. He seemed to have all the time…
Just before their amazing show at Southampton’s Guildhall I had a super brief chat with Ashley, Stefan and Dru from The Midnight Beast. Despite being on a very tight timeframe we managed to cover quite a lot. I squeezed into their dressing room and Ashely complimented me on my glittery jacket, I declared I made…
To Kill A King have just kicked off their UK tour and they are coming to The Joiners in Southampton on Sunday 28th October, which will be roughly half way through. I for one cannot wait to see them play live again! They performed at this year’s Bestival, on the Band Stand stage, and it…
We arrived in Oxford at approximately 5pm and got out wristbands for this mini festival around various venues in Oxford. The music started at about 16:30 and various bands were playing throughout the evening and into the night at venues such as Cowley Road Methodist Church, The Bullingdon and the O2 Academy. Seeing as we…
She opened with the title of the tour ‘Lonely Hearts Club’. The stage was set up in the theme of Electra Heart‘s bedroom/dressing room fit with a clothes stand, TV and pink furry rug, very much like a set for a musical. Marina strutted onstage in extraordinarily high platforms. I was impressed she could even…
Bastille have decided to release ‘Flaws’ as their next single. It has been a live favourite since they started touring and will be greatly received by fans. Hearing it live, you would expect it to already be a single with the fantastic crowd reaction every time it is played. The video was released in early…
All Time Low are one of those bands that stir emotion in anyone. Whether it’s intense fandom or uncontrollable hatred everyone has an opinion. As a fan since the Put Up Or Shut Up days I’ve seen their progression and journey from the tiny venues and unpopular EP’s to the arenas and chart topping anthemic…
For those of you that read my preview to this gig will know how excited I was preceding the event. The day finally arrived and after an interview with Derek and Alex from the band I went into the venue for the music. Mayday Parade had a whopping 3 support bands so the night started…
BIGKids are a pop duo from Camden. Ben Hudson McIldowie (aka, Mr Hudson) and Rosie Bones (daughter of Bill Oddie) play such infectious duets it’s hard not to sing-a-long, no doubt these songs will be stuck in your head for days. They have just released their debut album Never Grow Up and are touring the UK. They…
Out of all the festivals this summer, Reading Festival is definitely the one for music lovers. It is all about the music and with the insanely amazing line-up it definitely pleased the masses. Reading is renowned as the festival the school kids go to post GCSE results, and whether they’re drowning their sorrows or celebrating…
A memorable and well executed night for a fitting end to Freshers’ Week.
A band like Mayday Parade give me goosebumps. Some people will love them, some people will absolutely despise their emotional pop-rock. I am in the former set of people; I absolutely love Mayday Parade and having missed each live opportunity so far, finding out that they were playing the Old Firestation in Bournemouth made me…
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs will be playing in Portsmouth on Saturday 13th October and it is definitely a show not to miss. Orlando Higginbottom and his excellent use of technology is set to make the evening extremely enjoyable. Since the release of his debut full length album Trouble, TEED have gone from strength to strength…
