Spring has sprung and April is here. Which can only mean one thing, Record Store Day is just a couple of weeks away. While debate about the big days relevance rages on, there are some absolute bangers on this years list that rock and heavy metal fans won’t want to miss out on. So, with that…
After a wonderful but soggy first day on the hallowed Donington turf, we arrived at the excitement of Middle Saturday for Download Festival 2024. If you’ve not yet seen it, please catch up with our review of all the action from the Friday of Download 2024! Despite the organisers efforts, conditions hadn’t improved any, with…
48 hours is a long time in the music industry. Since we published our preview of the first part of Download Festival 2024, we’ve had over half a dozen bands – Pest Control, Scowl, Speed, Zulu, Overpower and Negative Frame, and then slightly later Ithaca – decide to drop off various parts of the Download…
Download 2024 is go! Following in the footsteps of other European festivals like Rock AM Ring and Nova Rock over the last week or so, the Download Festival team have unleashed the bulk of the 2024 Line up in one huge announcement. For the first time since 2012, the Download Festival has two new headliners…
We went along to Fall Out Boy’s second of two massive shows at The O2 on their So Much For (2our) Dust, to see them smash it out of the park. With huge production and a setlist filled full of fan favourites, it was a hell of a night for emos both young and old….
It’s been five years since Fall Out Boy released their polarizing album Mania. An album which came and went with very little in the way of fanfare, it did however leave a lot of fans questioning the fate of the band going forward. So Much (For) Stardust then is a breath of fresh air, and…
After embarking on the Hella Mega Tour last year with the almighty Green Day, chicago-based pop-punk quartet Fall Out Boy are back with a brand new album, So Much (For) Stardust, which arrives on March 24th. That’s not all though, as well as announcing their own Europe/UK tour in October and November Fall Out Boy will…
Welcome back to the Rock Sins Weekly Playlist! Our first instalment of 2023 is jam packed with new tracks from the first part of the new year, with everyone from Fall Out Boy to Metallica! We may as well kick off with Fall Out Boy, as their new single Love From The Other Side is…
Anyone announcing a tour in the last couple of years must have felt like Axl Rose talking about Chinese Democracy (2008). Announcements, delays, reworked lineups and serious disappointment have all been par for the course in recent times. One such tour affected by this was the Hella Mega Tour featuring rock heavyweights GREEN DAY, FALL…
After a rather excellent first day that saw chaotic sets the likes of Hollywood Undead, Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, Billy Talent and Lowlives bring a much-needed dose of rock to proceedings, the second day of this summer’s Leeds Festival looked set to be a bit more of a relaxed affair, with a Main Stage headline…
It’s time once again for another update to the Rock Sins Spotify playlist. This time out we are, as you might have guessed from the title, focusing on the annual August bank holiday festival double header at Reading & Leeds 2018. This weeks’ 20 tracks are a mixture of old favourites and new releases from…
In the early 00’s Fall Out Boy were the kings of a scene. Delivering a string of now-classic pop-punk and emo albums that showed off their clever wordplay and penchant for a gorgeous melody, for a moment in time they were untouchable. Since returning after a hiatus in 2013 there has been a lot made…
