Gig Review: Ferocious Dog / The Cloverhearts / The Captain’s Beard – The Chalk, Brighton (21st May 2024)

We were treated to three bands at The Chalk tonight, each with their own slightly different flavour. The first support slot was filled by a band who are the answer to the question: “What would happen if the Pogues bumped into Alestorm on a drunken night out and gatecrashed a shanty karaoke?” The Captain’s Beard, … Continue reading Gig Review: Ferocious Dog / The Cloverhearts / The Captain’s Beard – The Chalk, Brighton (21st May 2024)

2023 Crew Review: Mosh – Da Boss

I'm going to be honest, this year's roundup is going to be a challenge for me. In the past I've reviewed dozens of albums and gone to a similar number of gigs each year so my biggest problem has been narrowing it down. This year, though, has been a struggle. Between real life, work, studies … Continue reading 2023 Crew Review: Mosh – Da Boss

Gig Review: Ferocious Dog / Voodoo Radio – Oran Mor, Glasgow (6th October 2023)

Two bands that are fairly new to me, and one great night's entertainment. As Glasgow prepared for the unleashing torrents of an "amber warning" deluge, I managed to get parked a bit of a walk away from the venue as the free "after 6" parking is now "after 10". Thanks, Glasgow City Council. Way to … Continue reading Gig Review: Ferocious Dog / Voodoo Radio – Oran Mor, Glasgow (6th October 2023)

Ferocious Dog: new video, deluxe album reissue… and live show with an orchestra? Yes, please!

Ferocious Dog were one of my big "finds" of Bloodstock '22 so this news has me excited. Definitely an album I'll be checking out and then wishing I lived closer to York (I used to live in Bradford  which would have been very handy!). To celebrate the forthcoming 10 year anniversary of their self titled … Continue reading Ferocious Dog: new video, deluxe album reissue… and live show with an orchestra? Yes, please!

Bloodstock 2022: Editor-in-Chief’s Eye View (Part 2)

Friday really was something special at Bloodstock with that secret set, and finally acclimatising to the increasing temperatures meant that I could actually get some work done and enjoy a few bands on the Saturday. Thanks to our photographer Sean Larkin for ensuring I didn't die overnight! Note for next year: Jagerbombs are not "fluids" … Continue reading Bloodstock 2022: Editor-in-Chief’s Eye View (Part 2)

Gig Review: The Wildhearts / Ferocious Dog – SWG3, Glasgow (4th December 2018)

Six months ago, I didn’t give a shit about The Wildhearts. Then, they played Steelhouse and brought the only sunny moment of the weekend with them. I knew a whole two songs – the first and the last ones of the set. But they had my attention for the duration because they were that damn … Continue reading Gig Review: The Wildhearts / Ferocious Dog – SWG3, Glasgow (4th December 2018)
