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

Festival Review: SOS Festival XIV (Sunday’s Bands) – Whittles@tokyo, Oldham (July 2nd 2023)
Although Ross has already run through what he saw on Sunday, I feel duty-bound to throw my own words at you seeing as I was the one who was actually there to review the festival.

Festival Review: SOS Fest XIV, Sunday – Whittles@tokyo, Oldham (2nd July 2023)
Kicking off the third and final day, Square Wild are in front of a respectably-sized crowd given it’s a Sunday.

There was so much talent on show, and every single act was superb, and I don't want these … Continue reading Festival Review: SOS Festival XIV (Friday’s Bands) – Whittles@tokyo, Oldham (June 30th 2023)
Festival Review: SOS Festival XIV overview – Whittles@tokyo, Oldham (Jun 30-Jul 2 2023)
Oof, this is going to be a big review with thirty bands (if you include the house band) spread over three days. Apologies in advance to the performers if I seem to breeze past you, but as a first-timer at SOS Festival I really want to focus on the event itself as much as the … Continue reading Festival Review: SOS Festival XIV overview – Whittles@tokyo, Oldham (Jun 30-Jul 2 2023)
