American rockers Shinedown ended their 2022 with an immense Planet Zero world tour, with support for the UK leg from British rockers Asking Alexandria.

Platinum selling rockers SHINEDOWN have always made music that felt autobiographical. Armies of fans have pledged their allegiance to the band due to the heartfelt journal-like nature of their lyrics. In writing album number seven, they have decided to adjust the formula with Planet Zero owing just as much to the works of Aldous Huxley…
After the thoroughly great first day of Download Festival 2022 (read our Friday Download 2022 review here if you missed it), it was time to go again for the often legendary Middle Saturday. A quick shower and back to the arena it was! Things got going a little later than planned thanks to Iron Maiden’s…
It’s that time of year again. Yep, it’s festival season, Metcheck is bracing itself for a record number of website hits and everyone starts buying shares in Jagermeister and wet weather gear. Due to the ongoing Global Pandemic, it’s been 3 years since the faithful have descended upon the hallowed turf of Donington Park for…

Their latest Attention Attention may be their best and most varied album yet. Picking up the threads left behind…
Shinedown are one of the biggest rock bands in America. They are currently over in the UK as special guests to Iron Maiden on their Book of Souls tour. Opening for Iron Maiden is no easy task for anyone, so how are the band handling it? Well, I went to Sheffield to pose the question…
