Gig Review: Blackberry Smoke – O2 Academy, Birmingham (13th September 2024)

It’s been quite some time since I last saw Blackberry Smoke play live. Time was, anytime they hit the UK, I’d be there and have been since their first UK tour back in 2014 but in recent years, I’ve fallen off. Not for any bad reason – they're a killer live act and admittedly, the … Continue reading Gig Review: Blackberry Smoke – O2 Academy, Birmingham (13th September 2024)

Gig Review: The Plot in You / Invent Animate / Acres – Leeds Beckett Student Union, Leeds (7th September 2024)

I don't think anyone here was prepared for how hot the pit would get. The clouds may be grey but goddamn I'm melting. Dress wisely. You've been warned. We've reached September and when I tell you I've been waiting a long time for this band to come to the UK- The Plot in You has … Continue reading Gig Review: The Plot in You / Invent Animate / Acres – Leeds Beckett Student Union, Leeds (7th September 2024)

Festival Review: Hella Rock Festival 2024

Indeed, Coventry isn’t a regular name you’ll see … Continue reading Festival Review: Hella Rock Festival 2024

Gig Review: Ugly Kid Joe / The Virginmarys – Zumhof, Birmingham (27th August 2024)

Bloodstock 2024 Review: Saturday / Sunday (Mosh’s View)

Once more, given the number of bands I didn't see at Bloodstock I'm going to waffle on a bit about the handful I did catch, commiserate about the ones I didn't, and spend more time telling you how great everything else was about Bloodstock and therefore why you should book your ticket for next year. Assuming … Continue reading Bloodstock 2024 Review: Saturday / Sunday (Mosh’s View)

Festival Review: Call of the Wild 2024 – Sunday

I'm going to start this review with an apology. Call of the Wild 2024 was almost three months ago and the festival is getting ready for its first major announcement for the 2025 iteration. And I'm only just getting our review online. It's not my style and it's certainly not Moshville Times' style. That said, … Continue reading Festival Review: Call of the Wild 2024 – Sunday
