The massive queue of people from the Pagoda island to the venue should have assured me that much has changed in the world of First Aid Kit from when I last saw them live. Later on, when I start counting backwards I realise that it is more than eight years ago. Back then they […]

Bernhoft @ o2 Academy, 13 November, 2018
Norwegian singer Bernhoft is a well of insane talent, a poetic lyricist. Undefined by genre or sound his music is a multifaceted reflection on life and love, an intoxicating mixture of noise that reverberates deep into your heart. Joined by band Bernhoft and the Fashion Bruises transformed the room at the O2 Academy, delivering a […]
Tom Misch @ o2 Academy, 12 November, 2018
From bedroom beat maker to melodic master of modern funk – Tom Misch has come a long way since he first started recording music as a fresh-faced teenager. Now with several records under his belt, the South London-based artist-producer has been selling out venues across Europe – and he’s only recently turned 23. On the back […]
Leon Bridges @ o2 Institute, 11 November 2018
Leon Bridges is a performer whose artistry and popularity owes much to the stylistic and musical constraints he imposes on himself. Despite that, it’s when his voice cuts free and stands for itself – often supported by minimalist background arrangements – that he reaches heights that have seen him compared with key influences like Sam […]
Kurt Vile and the Violators @ The Crossing, 9th November, 2018
This Is TMRW have taken over The Crossing in Digbeth for a weekend of gigs, with Kurt Vile being Friday’s offering resulting in a sell-out show. Meg Baird and Mary Lattimer are the support act, promoting their new album Ghost Forests, which has been released today on Three Lobed Recordings. Both Meg and Mary have […]
Hard Rock Hell XII Red Carpet Awards
Last year’s HRH Awards proved to be such a success, that they return for their 2nd year. In attendance are the rich and famous, the bands that are performing, bands up for awards and all related associates such as PR, Agents and of course the Fans (which without them there would be none of […]
First Aid Kit + The Staves @ o2 Academy, 7th November 2018
The massive queue of people from the Pagoda island to the venue should have assured me that much has changed in the world of First Aid Kit from when I last saw them live. Later on, when I start counting backwards I realise that it is more than eight years ago. Back then they […]
Impericon Never Say Die Tour @ The Asylum, 7th November, 2018
Bringing about the best of metalcore Impericon’s Never Say Die! Tour is not for the faint of heart but if metal or hardcore is your scene, it is a night that cannot be missed. With a set list of insane bands the night is poised for greatness. This, however, paired with the tour’s focus on […]
Sigrid @ O2 Academy, 4th November 2018
Oli Fox starts tonight’s proceedings, dressed in a silver jacket which is, apparently, to make him look more interesting than he really is and seemingly not fully confident on stage in front of a near sell-out crowd. His brand of pop comes from the land of Sam Smith with a smooth nasal sound, wide vocal […]
Lewis Capaldi + Nina Nesbitt @ o2 Institute, 3rd November, 2018
On 31st of March 2017 Lewis Capaldi’s life took a dramatic shift. The self-release of his first single ‘Bruises’ on that date brought him almost instant fame amassing an insane 28 million plays on Spotify worldwide. He found himself hopping on tour with the likes of Rag N Bone Man and Sam Smith, playing […]
The Sheepdogs @ Actress and Bishop, 2nd November, 2018
Long grey haired rockers and young slightly scruffy hipsters crowded into the packed room of the Actress and Bishop, the swelling body heat negating the cold chill from outside. Packed together whispers rose, excitement filling the air. The crowd had gathered for Canadian folk rock band The Sheepdogs; no doubt they stumbled across the band […]
Karine Polwart @ Birmingham Town Hall, 2nd November 2018
Scarcely seen in Birmingham, it’s with great delight that Polwart’s path has finally brought her to these parts in celebration of her latest release, ‘Laws of Motion’. Tonight’s audience is rewarded for their patience with not one, but two, rousing sets from one of Scottish folk music’s most candid, poetic and contemporary voices. A consistently […]
Will Haven + Palm Reader @ The Asylum, 2nd November, 2018
The Asylum 2 in Birmingham was a special place to be tonight. It’s a very rare occurrence for Will Haven to head over to the UK, let alone to play in Birmingham. There was no way I was going to miss this chance to see what by their own admission ‘could be the last tour […]
State Champs @ O2 Institute, 31st October 2018
I’m all for early start times and being in bed for 10, however having doors at 5:30 for a midweek show baffles even me. And with that in mind Seaway, the main support, were taking to the stage as I arrived at the O2 Institute for the penultimate date of State Champs latest UK tour. […]
Skindred Night Of The Living Dred @ Empire Coventry, 31st October 2018
Opening up tonight are local lads Last Hounds, a 5 piece hardcore punk band. These guys are growing from strength to strength, and provide an engaging performance with emotive screams. They close all on the ground, while the crowds horns are raised high. Ballsdeep are next, if you can get over the name which is […]
