First up tonight, Dallas Thrashers Power Trip. Jumping straight into their latest album material ‘Soul Sacrifice’, from the outstanding ‘Nightmare Logic’ (2017), the band start with a loud crushing static sound which builds up hype in the rowdy main room. The showy hardcore riffs kick in, before the fast and ferocious vocals from Riley; instant […]

Love from Stourbridge @ O2 Academy, 14th April 2018
Tonight’s sold out show is a dual headliner featuring The Wonder Stuff and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin both of which made a massive stir on the indie alternative scene back in the late 80s and early 90s. Having not seen either of them play since then, standing in the queue it felt like a trip down […]
The Dead Daisies @ Robin 2 Wolverhampton, 9 April 2018
The queue tonight is phenomenal as is the weather, the rain is coming down heavy enough to make everyone wet even before the show. To start us off we have the Scottish trio The Amorettes. This band already has some great support slots under their belts including slots with the legendary Black Star Riders, Europe, […]
Walk the Moon @ o2 Institute 7th April, 2018
America based electronic dance pop creators Walk the Moon are known for creating bombastic, energetic music with live shows to match. With a hint of 80s flair, their music is best described as a nonstop party, something noted over their three albums. The liveliness in their sonic power set up big expectations for their live […]
Embrace + Eevah @ o2 Institute 5 April, 2018
Having reviewed the latest album by Embrace at the start of March, it was with great anticipation that I went to see them in the beautiful former Congregational church in Digbeth. Readers of that review will have understood the inkling that I liked the seventh studio album by Yorkshire band Embrace and tonight I was […]
George Ezra + Lily Moore @ o2 Academy, 4 April 2018
George Ezra first blasted onto our airwaves with hit ‘Budapest.’ To say the song was everywhere would be an understatement; seemingly penetrating each radio station for months upon months, the tune was a massive hit. Since then George Ezra has become a household name. With new album Staying at Tamara’s Ezra continued being the master […]
Warrior Soul @ The Asylum, 30th March 2018
As you walk into the small venue it is the merchandise stands that catch your eye. Warrior Soul are selling backdrops and artwork whereas Ryder’s Creed have a larger amount of merchandise to sell tonight in comparison with the headliners. And, as the support act take to the stage, you realise how they are treating […]
Sunflower Bean @ Hare and Hounds, 27th March 2018
Described in various outlets, both of quality writing and of lazy journalistic tendencies, Brooklyn, Noo Yawwwk band Sunflower Bean are constantly compared to Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac. They are described as a band that have a CV of a rock band that do not actually rock. As a band that play a mix of grunge and […]
Tom Walker @ o2 Institute 23 March, 2018
It’s been thirteen and a-bit months since I last watched Tom Walker live, then he was playing at the lovely but very intimate Sunflower Lounge. A lot can happen in thirteen months and this is definitely the case for Tom, the most noteworthy of things being his latest single Leave a Light on, racking up […]
The Wombats @ o2 Institute, 23 March 2018
The Wombats have come a long way since their 2003 inception. Birthed in Liverpool, the boys joined forces releasing a handful of EPs until the 2006 debut album, which was only released in Japan. Their beginning may have been slow, but the last ten years have proven to be fruitful. Becoming a household name, The […]
