London’s favourite troubadour and songwriter Frank Turner returned to his hometown of choice for the last gig of his UK tour. Turner’s tour kicked off in the US in September just after the release of his latest album Positive Songs For Negative People and a small in-store gig tour just before that. Playing the biggest…

English alt-rock band Lonely The Brave rocked Islington Assembly Hall on 24 November. The band released the deluxe edition of their debut album The Day’s War earlier this year and supported Twin Atlantic on their UK tour in May. And that’s just the first half of a massive 2015 for the Cambridge five-piece. Ahead of their 9-date…

Nothing But Thieves are the break out band of the year, having just recently released their debut album which hit the ground hard. This Friday they played Camden’s Electric Ballroom for a sold-out show. The performance was mind-blowing, however, short. Understandably though. With only one album you don’t have that much material to play, so…

First time at 93 Feet East – I really liked it. It’s got this Shoreditch music venue feel without the hipster crowd (well at least not mostly hipsters, you can’t avoid them). It’s a small garage-style venue just off Brick Lane. I’m thinking this is one of those great places where you can discover loads…

So. Reading. My back hurts, I don’t know how people do this for a whole weekend! But somehow even if on the train back you want nothing more than your bed, you’re still happy. There’s something about festivals that leaves you no option but to be joyful and slightly Hippie. It may be the idea…

It’s official – The Gaslight Anthem are taking a break. This is sad news to all fans but without a doubt not entirely unexpected. However, London fans seem to hold a special place in the band’s heart as their last headline show took place London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. And what a farewell gig it…
Read MoreLet me start off by saying, I doubt the KOKO has ever been rocked the way it was rocked last night. Beatsteaks are a German punk rock band from Berlin and usually German bands, no matter how good, don’t really make it outside the country (except for Rammstein and the Scorpions). It is not much…

This was the first gig at Brooklyn Bowl I went to when I no longer worked there, so it was a weird but wonderful experience. I’ve always loved the venue, it has amazing sound and fits just the right amount of people. Plus there’s bowling, what more could you want?! I hadn’t seen either of…
