Single Review: The Bottom Line – “When I Come Around”

I’ve been listening to pop punk since I was around the age of fourteen. Besides The Story So Far and generic well-known bands, I can’t get enough of WSTR, Neck Deep and the likes, so naturally, I was keen to hop on board and check the independent London-based four-piece out - the UK pop punk … Continue reading Single Review: The Bottom Line – “When I Come Around”

Metal 2 the Masses – Glasgow update

A reminder for those in Glasgow that the local heats of Bloodstock's Metal 2 The Masses continue this coming Thursday and Friday at Ivory Blacks.

We ran a little competition through December on our facebook page to, basically, show off how good our photographers are. We got each shutterbug to submit their favourite photo - that they themselves had taken - during 2016. These were popped into a gallery and the general public were asked to comment, like and share … Continue reading Photo Competition – and the winner is…

Buckfest – charity all-dayer announced in Manchester

Another chance to raise some money for charity. In exchange for a tenner, you prove your courage by sitting through some awful bands (like Chainsaw Penis who revel in their own dreadfulness, and Footprints In The Custard who somehow think they look good in tutus and mankinis).
