What a cracking double-header of hard rock / metal we had in store tonight in Glasgow's intimate Audio venue. Local-ish lads The Breathing Method opened proceedings, seemingly down a man as singer Scott recently decided to step back to spend more time on other projects (including, erm, this very website). Previously backing vocals and rampant … Continue reading Gig Review: King Kraken / The Breathing Method – Audio, Glasgow (8th June 2025)

Gig Review: Shane Smith & The Saints / William Clark Green – SWG3 TV Studio, Glasgow (3rd June 2025)
Welcome to another in the long line of "Mosh reviews a live show by a band he never encountered until walking into the venue". Ove the last few months I've expanded on the festival / support band mentality where you go to see the bands you do know and end up discovering some great ones … Continue reading Gig Review: Shane Smith & The Saints / William Clark Green – SWG3 TV Studio, Glasgow (3rd June 2025)
Gig Review: I See Stars / Lo Rays – SWG3 Warehouse, Glasgow (27th May 2025)
I See Stars have been on the go for almost 20 years, so it's amazing that they've not managed a headline show in Glasgow before now. That was set to be righted this evening, but beforehand there was the simple matter of a support band. I literally laughed with glee when I saw a small … Continue reading Gig Review: I See Stars / Lo Rays – SWG3 Warehouse, Glasgow (27th May 2025)
Gig Review: Combichrist / Extize / Crimson Veil / Esoterik – Slay, Glasgow (26th May 2025)
Tonight was going to be fun. The one thing with Combichrist that can be guaranteed is that they bring the most eclectic mix of support acts. The last time I saw them headline was back in 2012 at the now-closed Arches venue, and I recall the support being... variable in terms of quality. With three … Continue reading Gig Review: Combichrist / Extize / Crimson Veil / Esoterik – Slay, Glasgow (26th May 2025)
Gig Review: Froglord / Kraken Waker / ISAK – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (22nd May 2025)
On Thursday night, I hopped on a train to Glasgow and got myself to Ivory Blacks to see Froglord: a gig that I knew would be unfrogettable! It was my first time being in Ivorys for a gig, and I noticed how broadly laid out the space was. Plus, there was an addition of seats … Continue reading Gig Review: Froglord / Kraken Waker / ISAK – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (22nd May 2025)
Gig Review: The Temperance Movement / Sam Palladio – Barrowland Ballroom (9th April 2025)
Almost five years to the day when The Temperance Movement played their final show, after some teasing on social media, the band announced their return for March and April 2025. Sell-out shows followed, becoming some of the hottest tickets our scene has seen in quite some time. Which led to more shows being announced, including … Continue reading Gig Review: The Temperance Movement / Sam Palladio – Barrowland Ballroom (9th April 2025)
