Expectations for tonight’s show are high to say the least; the first date of BFW’s first UK headline tour in four years, and their first on UK soil since the release of their new album ‘Uprising’. Hand-picked local openers Doomed From Day One start off slowly, but really win over the crowd and make plenty of…

HEATH:WARD’s set has since been uploaded as a podcast, available here. The evening kicks off Adam Greenen and, following some minor issues with the desk,…
