The chances are if you are a fan of death metal in any of its many guises then you have at least heard of Obituary. The Floridan quintet have been sitting upon the precipice of the genre since their inception back in the early 1980s and have been firing on all cylinders since their reformation back in 2003. In the height of the pandemic, brothers John and Donald Tardy would lock themselves away, rejuvenating their beloved Redneck Studios and putting together the foundations that would then form their eleventh album 'Dying of Everything'.

No snow storm could stop Silverstein bringing Misery Made Me to the Electric Ballroom for the final stop on their UK tour.

Whilst emo royalty Pierce The Veil’s smash single 'King For A Day' has witnessed a viral TikTok resurgence a decade down the line, nothing prepared Pierce The Veil for the surge of new fans that gathered in their thousands down at the bands sold out O2 Forum Kentish Town headliner.

The lively energy of children and the attitude of angsty teenagers, Badflower are the band equivalent of both combined - their headline show at London’s Electric Ballroom had explicit levels of sass in abundance.

Swedish alt-rockers Normandie weren’t waving White Flags down at their sold-out Omeara show for a three-night packed out residence celebrating the bands trio of albums in full. 

They are the eternal divisive rock band like marmite for your ears. Some people love them and others, well, seem to have a quite unrivalled and insatiable hatred. We're very firmly in the former camp and don’t get the Nickelback hatred. The Canadian rockers are back with their tenth slice of ass bootin’, head flingin’, and foot stompin’ rock n’ roll, and 'Get Rollin' is another nail in the coffin for their detractors.

nothing,nowhere. provided nothing but emotional release and no lack of serotonin at the Electric Ballroom. 

Chicago punks Rise Against return to the sloping floors of Brixton’s o2 Academy after five long awaited years, proving that they have strength in numbers.

The Worlds Collide tour co-headlined by Evanescence and Within Temptation finally hit London earlier this month, check out our review and gallery from the show.
