I often forget other people like Danko Jones too. They are one of the few bands that I can say I’ve loved since the first album and even fewer bands that I can say I’ve loved every album, so it’s a real treat to be able to see them rock the shit out of Brixton…
So let me get this straight – this month has seen a tour with Static-X & Soil, Logan Mader in Machine (fucking) Head, new albums from Cold, Korn and now Puddle of Mudd have released Welcome to Galvania and it’s 2019??? Are you sure?? Whatever the year it’s an exciting time to be fan of…
For a band of – shall we say – mature musicians Black Star Riders seem to show no sign of fatigue. The constant album, tour, album, tour cycle seemingly never ending for these fellas, half of which already spent God knows how long touring under some other pseudonym like Skinny Minny or something… Whilst I…
Those who love their American Thrash Metal will no doubt be aware of Sacred Reich, a band not old enough to be lumped in with The Big Four but too old for most of us to have gotten into around the time heavy music had a popularity surge in the 90’s (just before Kurt ruined…
Mushroomhead aren’t known for their extensive UK tours, so when they stopped off in Southampton we made sure to collar them for a chat about what they’ve been doing lately, copying The Blue Man Group, Working at Abbey Road Studios, what it’s like being a creative band with an ever changing image and how they…
As the evening sun set on Download 2019 for the final (and first) time this weekend, Rock Sins caught up with bright young things Heart of a Coward, for a sit down chat about new album The Disconnect, gigging, festivals and adjusting to new personnel. I missed your set unfortunately, but how did it go?…
As the early afternoon sun finally shoos away the seemingly never-ending rain, we collared Whitechapel vocalist Phil Bozeman, for a quick chat ahead of their Dogtooth stage set at Download Festival. Phil seems focused on what’s ahead, but answers all the questions put to him thoughtfully and politely, especially as this interview was meant to…
Being the first band of the weekend on the main stage at Download Festival takes a certain amount of balls, thankfully the rock and roll stalwarts that make up Last In Line have those balls and much more. We managed to catch up with Andrew Freeman and Vinnie Appice (vocalist and drummer respectively) a couple…
The Molotov has dropped, but can we still trust Papa Roach or is this the start of the ending? Love them or hate them Papa Roach have maintained a pretty consistent level of popularity over the last 20 years (jesus!), which may have something to do with their ability to evolve with every album yet…
As Christmas crept steadily closer and the country started thinking about actually buying some presents as it’s 21st December, Clutch rolled in to London to play their biggest UK headlining show to date at the O2 Academy Brixton in support of the Book of Bad Decisions album. I was lucky enough to get some time…
There’s a certain buzz of nostalgia around Southampton Guildhall tonight as everyone piles in to see pop punk legends Bowling for Soup on the “Almost Christmas” Tour – the bands’ second tour of the UK in 2018 following the “Get Happy Tour 2018”. Bringing out some young upstarts to open the shows has led to…
9 years since forming Canadian band Monster Truck have overcome the difficult 3rd album syndrome by releasing the stereo melting ‘True Rockers’. Packed with ad-libs, huge choruses, rock & roll swagger and Dee Mother Fucking Snider, this album propels the band into the next level of live venue as it is begging to be performed…
