[full set of images on Flickr via this link] A band that's been there since the beginning of the thrash metal era, Testament were pretty big twenty or so years ago. But while the liked of the so-called "Big 4" went on to fill arenas, Testament joined the likes of Exodus on the sidelines. Still … Continue reading Testament – Glasgow Garage

Sabaton / Eluveitie / Wisdom – Glasgow Garage
[Links to pictures on Flickr: Sabaton / Eluveitie / Wisdom] It's a bit of a surprise when you go to the pinboard in the office to get your ticket for a gig then realise that there are two stuck up there.

[Full sets of pics in these three sets: Darkest Era / Claim the Throne / Alestorm] Before they took to the stage, though, there were two … Continue reading Alestorm – Glasgow Garage
Reel Big Fish – Glasgow Garage
[full gallery of photos in this Flickr set] I missed openers The JB Conspiracy, which is a shame. Main support Orange didn't get a great reception, though. I saw most of their set and they were OK but nothing brilliant. No faulting the effort they put into the set, and it was a shame - frankly - to … Continue reading Reel Big Fish – Glasgow Garage
