Gig Review: Rabidfest – The Bullingdon, Oxford (4th-5th November 2023)
Well, it has been quite some time since writing my last review after Oxford M2TM competition has ended with such an amazing final, I found myself without many events planned.

Gig Review: Written By Wolves / Immerse – Satan’s Hollow, Manchester (17th November 2023)

Hundreds of goths are queuing for tonight’s headliners whilst a K-Pop superstar is greeting screaming fans just around the corner.

There’s a long line down Glasgow’s notorious Sauchiehall Street well over an hour before the doors open for tonights gig. It’s a cold and miserable evening, but nothing is stopping those who have assembled early to get up front for tonights sold out show.
