None is more special than the band’s annual sold out St Patrick’s Day show held at the famous Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. 2018 will see the band celebrate their 27th year in a row playing there. Last year the band celebrated their 40th anniversary, with what is now one of their most successful UK tours ever.

Coilguns
Swiss noise/hardcore band Coilguns are pleased to announce that they will be embarking on a European tour this spring. All tour dates will be in support of Millennials which will be released this March via Hummus Records. The album is available to pre-order now.
Guitarist Jona Nido commented:
We haven’t toured since we recorded our new album two years ago, but needless to say we are stoked to be back out there. The few warmup shows we did in December were absolutely overwhelming not only on the crowd’s level but also on the personal side. We have never been as focused and determined as a band and this is tangible on stage. Adding a 4th member and having Louis play more guitar also reinforces the chaos when it happens. Get your helmets on, this is gonna hurt.
