To make sure that we covered every band playing (and there were a lot), Topher joined Katie to immerse himself in a sweaty metal venue for two days... Hard Rock Hell events are widely known around the country for being packed out and well organised. The 17th and 18th February was the no frills “Metal” event in Birmingham’s … Continue reading Gig Review: HRH Metal (Topher’s View) – O2 Academy Birmingham (17-18 Feb 2018)

Gig Review: Brian Fallon / Dave Hause – O2 ABC, Glasgow (22nd February 2018)
To discovering an artist on the basis of a recommendation of a dear friend to immensely looking forward to the gig itself in less than a month is an immense feat. However, that’s the power Brian Fallon possessed with his new album Sleepwalkers. Having only heard his name and The Gaslight Anthem’s in passing, that … Continue reading Gig Review: Brian Fallon / Dave Hause – O2 ABC, Glasgow (22nd February 2018)
Gig Review: King 810, Glasgow King Tut’s (20th Feb 2018)
King 810, where to start with this Titan of a band? I'll start with the only things that were not quite up to par.

American rock band The Midnight Ghost Train are currently on a European tour and to start off they played the first of their first UK dates at The Devonshire Arms in Camden on Sunday 18th February.

Their … Continue reading Gig Review: The Midnight Ghost Train, Jonny Halifax, My Diablo, Silvercord – The Dev, London (18th Feb 2018)
Gig Review: HRH Metal Festival, Birmingham DAY ONE (17th February 2018)
Hard Rock Hell Metal is a legendary annual event bringing together both new and world-famous bands for a weekend of metal. A total of 41 bands played three rooms over two days at O2 Academy in Birmingham on 17 and 18 February so myself and fellow Moshville Times photographer Topher divided them up between the two … Continue reading Gig Review: HRH Metal Festival, Birmingham DAY ONE (17th February 2018)
