Having seen Kris Barras Band supporting Black Stone Cherry in September 2021, I have to admit I was excited for tonight’s show. With the number of Black Stone Cherry t-shirts in the crowd, I don’t think I was the only one who was introduced and found a liking for Kris Barras Band at one of … Continue reading Gig Review: Kris Barras Band / Florence Black / Tom Killner – The Leadmill, Sheffield (22nd March 2022)

Gig Review: Palaye Royale / Carl Barât / Charming Liars – Albert Hall, Manchester (9th March 2022)
Walking into the Albert Hall in Manchester for the first time felt like stepping back in time. It was great to see some of what I can only assume to be original features withstanding years of use. With a very prompt start, Charming Liars took to a very cramped stage. You could instantly see how … Continue reading Gig Review: Palaye Royale / Carl Barât / Charming Liars – Albert Hall, Manchester (9th March 2022)
Festival Review: Slam Dunk North 2021
After what has been a very long wait, it was finally time for Slam Dunk North! My first festival since COVID rained down upon us and put a stop to all live music!

Gig Review: Motionless in White / Skold / Defying Decay – Stylus, Leeds (9th December 2019)
So, I’m going to start this review with a word that describes the entire night… Eccentric! The first band of the night, Defying Decay, made quite the entrance in their unique outfits, including lead singer Jay Euarchukiati sporting a zebra covered 2-piece suit. The stage was very full as the seven members found their positions. … Continue reading Gig Review: Motionless in White / Skold / Defying Decay – Stylus, Leeds (9th December 2019)
Gig Review: Skillet / Devour the Day – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire (10th December 2019)
After a trek down to London in wet and windy weather, my excitement couldn’t be dampened for this evening. The last time I saw Skillet was in Spokane over the summer, and I’m sure they just keep getting better. With this show having sold out months ago, it was no surprise the massive queues of … Continue reading Gig Review: Skillet / Devour the Day – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire (10th December 2019)
