Before April 12th, I’d never heard of DeWolff. But what a way to be introduced with a full on sonic revival at Glasgow’s Stereo that left me walking out buzzing with the kind of energy only a truly great live show can give. Hailing from the Dutch province of Limburg, DeWolff are a psychedelic blues-rock … Continue reading Live Review: DeWolff – Stereo, Glasgow (12th April 2025)

Festival Review: Takedown Festival 2025 (Day 1) – Portsmouth Guildhall (4th April 2025)
Takedown Festival had to be cancelled last year and so I was very pleased to get the green light to attend this year’s festivities instead. Having been brought up in Fareham (a kind of no-mans-land between Pompey and Southampton), I went to some of my earliest gigs at Portsmouth Guildhall, Hawkwind being the very first. … Continue reading Festival Review: Takedown Festival 2025 (Day 1) – Portsmouth Guildhall (4th April 2025)
Album Review: Sick N’ Beautiful – Horror Vacui
I've been lucky enough to catch Sick N' Beautiful on each of their three Glasgow appearances over the last few years, the most recent being genuinely by chance as I didn't know they were supporting Lordi!

Gig Review: Vukovi / Lake Malice / Fog Bandits – SWG3, Glasgow (11th April 2025)
Hit rewind. Address refunds (virtually none). Reschedule tour date. Get everyone back for a second shot. This is what Vukovi had to do after a localised power outage in March caused their headline show at Glasgow's SWG3 to be cancelled partway through main support Unpeople's set. The audience had enjoyed Artio also, but weren't to … Continue reading Gig Review: Vukovi / Lake Malice / Fog Bandits – SWG3, Glasgow (11th April 2025)
Gig Review: The Fallen State / Liberty Lies / Psycho Village – Audio, Glasgow (9th April 2024)
We like to cover all gigs big and small, and tonight we were to enjoy some quality hard rock at one of Glasgow's more intimate venues. Audio is located under Central Station and has a capacity of 150 people. It's a cracking little place and an integral part of Glasgow's varied music scene. Three bands … Continue reading Gig Review: The Fallen State / Liberty Lies / Psycho Village – Audio, Glasgow (9th April 2024)
