So, it’s time for another video of the week. Five bands battling it out to take over from winners from last time out Strange Planes. Aside from Crossfaith (always favourites of ours here), it’s a field of newcomers, so this could be a very interesting vote indeed. Onto the bands! Feeling like a firm rewind…
Devin Townsend has lined up intimate solo acoustic performances across the UK and Europe. The ‘An Evening With’ shows will get underway at the end of March and feature a not so Heavy Devy performing stripped back songs from across his catalogue, as well as taking part in a Q&A where fans will get to know more…
Mastodon have announced their return to live action with a marathon 25-date tour of the UK and Europe. The Atlanta band will kick off the trek on January 14 in Belfast, Northern Ireland before additional stops in Dublin, Southampton, Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Norwich, Bristol and London, where they’ll take over the prestigious O2 Academy Brixton….

There’s only one place we can start, and…
Ahead of Coheed and Cambria‘s London show last month in support of their new album Vaxis Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures (read our review here), Philip Whitehead spoke to the band’s drummer Josh Eppard about the new album and the possibility of new Weerd Science in the near future. Here’s what he had to say. …
Following their completely sold out run of shows across the UK in September, Halestorm have announced their plans to return for their first ever UK arena tour! This arena tour will celebrate the women of rock, and is an extension of their US tour where they have been championing the women in rock. Halestorm are…
Last week, we got our brand new photographer Daniel Ackerley to head down to one of his local venues, The Junction in Cambridge, to catch UK rock favourites Reef do their thing. His fantastic photos of the night’s action can be seen below:
