There are a few things you need to say about Elles Bailey before talking about how this gig was as it provides context. Firstly, she really doesn’t care what people think about her or say about her, in a very good way, she’s got attitude in spades but not arrogance. It’s the attitude of someone who has been given the chance to show good they are and isn’t going to let anything get in their way in doing so! Secondly, she has an amazing voice, her range, her control, her emotio

No amount of words and pretty photos can ever truly convey the Mogwai live experience. It’s one of those occasions that has to be experienced and taken in in person. So when I try to tell you about the recent show at the Gateshead Glasshouse keep in mind it was probably at least 5 times better than my writing can put across! It’s my first time back here since the rebrand and the first time I’ve seen all of the downstairs seating removed to make one huge standing area …. I lik

The last time I was at Leeds Universities’ students union venue, Stylus, to see a band was the Lemonheads so quite a high bar for the Nova Twins then, one they knocked out the park. I’ve been a fan of Nova Twins for a couple of albums now, having been lucky enough to review both for this site, and yet, despite having had tickets to a previous tour, have never managed to see them live so I was really looking forward to this gig.

Wolf Alice Sunflower Bean Bria Salmena This wasn’t my first time seeing Wolf Alice, I’ve been buying their albums for years, have seen them live several times before and come to know them as real contenders who felt ready to step up but this gig was something different for them, quite simply put it felt like their graduation into the big league. They have been knocking at the door for quite a while but, when I reviewed their new album, 'The Clearing', for this site earlier t

Ash Coach Party This wasn’t my first time seeing Ash live but it was my first time at this venue and the first time I was going to get to see Ash play their new album, 'Ad Astra', which I reviewed for this site and was very impressed with. It does feel like Ash are in danger of turning into Bod Dylan from a touring perspective, this was one of multiple dates this year (including supporting the Darkness)  finishing in mid-December in Belfast, they take a brief break, then are

Killswitch Engage Hatebreed Fit For An Autopsy Decapitated A four band bill on a Saturday night normally means an early start and the first band playing to the room as the crowd are still filing through. Not so for tonights opener however as NX had pretty much already filled out when Decapitated took to the stage to kick off this evenings assault on the senses! I know a number of folk who’d got tickets because Poland’s death metal quartet were on the bill and they certainly w

Arriving in Scarborough on one the the hottest days of the year you could immediately sense that the North Bay was divided into two tribes. However with the beach crammed with shorts and swimsuit wearers it was more a case of Bods & Rockers rather than Mods & Rockers! Black t shirts with ZERO or the entwined SP logo were order of the day too as thousands made their way to the Open Air Theatre to witness Smashing Pumpkins tear the place up! I have to admit I was super excite
