Tracklist: Lead with my Bad Side PIGS PIGS Home Hold Up My Crown Box I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this band. As I get older and listen to more and more music, the more I realise how genres have gone one of two ways – either hyper specific, or bands pick a general mix because they don’t know how to describe themselves. And just to be clear, this is not a criticism, I am in a band and we don’t know how to describe ourselves either! This does mean, however, when

Few names are as revered in metalcore as that of dynamic duo of singer Howard Jones and guitarist/producer Adam Dutkiewicz. The anticipation for what this momentous reunion will bring has been mounting ever since the announcement of their new project Burn Eternal. They have finally revealed that Burn Eternal's self-titled debut album will arrive on 26th February 2027 via Metal Blade. Alongside the news, they share the lyric video for first single "Wounds I've Made." "'Wounds

The Devil Wears Prada Novelists Sunday is the day of rest, and yet I find myself once again traipsing across Digbeth, this time to catch The Devil Wears Prada on their Flowers tour. It's been highly anticipated within my friend group, and I've never had the privilege of seeing them live, so I'm quite excited as I dip into the box office to diligently collect my pass. Arriving into the main room of the O2 Institute, I'm greeted by the band Oversize – hailing from sunny Sails

This was my first trip the Fulford Arms in a while, it’s one of those brilliant grass routes venues that York doesn’t have enough of so it consistently punches above its weight. It’s a brilliant little venue that has seen a number of bands play their first gig in York over the years. I was there to see Dutch band The Klittens but before that there was the matter of two support acts, you always get fantastic value for money at the Fulford Arms I’m still genuinely not sure what

Peter Hook and the Light have announced a date at Sunderland Fire Station on Friday 21 May 2027 which will see the band play both Joy Division studio albums, 'Unknown Pleasures' and 'Closer', in their entirety. The Sunderland date comes ahead of a full UK and Ireland tour next year, alongside further tours in North and South America, France and Asia, that will likewise celebrate both albums in full. 'Unknown Pleasures' was released in 1979 and was followed by 'Closer' in 1980

Tracklist: THE END IVORY MOTHER DEATH I DESTROYED YOU FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT PURPLE SNAKES GIVE YOUR KIDS A GUN TO PLAY NEON (feat. Maz Univerze) UNCONDITIONALLY LOVELY WHITE RAINBOW Track 1 - THE END Opening an album with a tape recording of a man, seemingly at the end of his tether. The very compelling, eerie and dark monologue really helps you to sink into the zone and sets you up for what’s to come on the rest of the record. It’s a nice touch of artistry and showcases

The Wonder Stuff Inspiral Carpets Double confession time to start, despite living in Yorkshire for 15 years I’d never seen a gig at Scarborough Spa before and the last time I saw either of these bands (with the exception of seeing a bit of the Inspirals set at Kendal last year as the tent was packed), was in 1992. This despite the fact that both bands are on various playlists of mine and have written some of the best songs of the last 40 years. I’m glad I’ve rectified both is

Steve Hackett It’s a bitterly cold October evening but there’s a nice warm cozy feeling inside knowing I’m on my way to once again see some of my all time favourite songs performed by one of my all time favourite musicians. I’m not sure how many times I’ve now seen Steve Hackett since the Spectral Mornings tour back in the late 70s but we are back at the Gateshead Glasshouse International Centre For Music for an evening of Solo Gems and Genesis Classics a concept so popular i

US- indie/alt duo sugarpine have released their debut single 'Leaves'. Formed by lifelong friends Brian MacDonald (PVRIS) and Sam Carpenter who met in sixth grade, the pair grew up together sharing school projects, skateboarding sessions and living among the forests and quiet towns of New Hampshire (NH)— that very landscape has left a lasting imprint on both their friendship and their music. The autumnal track 'Leaves' was built around capturing a sense of nostalgia from thes
