Once again, this site gets the better of me and I'm sat staring at a new Shinedown album wondering where the time went since the last one. It was indeed the tail end of 2015 when they released Threat To Survival since which time they've done the usual tour rotation including a surprising / controversial (delete … Continue reading Album Review: Shinedown – Attention Attention

Gig Review: Andrew W.K. / Yonaka, Glasgow Garage (21st April 2018)
Who decided to have a bouncy, party-based gig on the first warm night of the year? Sheeh, better planning next time, folks.
