With Reading and Leeds just a handful of days…
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”.

Patent Pending, a self-described “acrobatic gang of musical misfits”, hit the UK shores again recently for their Spring Break tour.

The Brighter tour is Patent Pending’s second UK trek this year, and third within the last twelve months, if you count the main support slot afforded to them on Bowling For Soup’s farewell tour. The United Kingdom seems to have become a home-away-from-home for the American pop punkers, and not without good reason. Tonight, they…
Patent Pending played this years Hit The Deck festival a couple of weeks ago and Rock Sins writer Will Stevenson had the privilege of chatting to frontman Joe Ragosta about his experience. Hi Joe!
