First up are Dead Harts (7) who play a great set of well-constructed hardcore tunes that nicely warms the crowd up for what is to follow. Feed the Rhino (9) who follow are nothing short of astonishing. The band hurl themselves around the venue with a manic fury, especially frontman Lee Tobin who seems to…
As if there wasn’t enough good bands and acts on the bill already, a certain Mr Andy Copping and his team have just pushed the boat out once again with a further twenty six additions to the Download Festival 2013 line up. The main part of this announcement is the unveiling of the lineup for…

However, there’s a big difference between performing old crowd favourites live and reuniting after so long to write music. Will earthtone9’s reunion peter out in a flurry of nostalgia and half-baked ideas? Happily, the answer to…
Achievements like this are usually reserved for pop royalty – your Beyonce’s, your Lady Gaga’s, or for indie rock such as Coldplay or Snow Patrol that most readers of this website wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.
