Love him or hate him, you can’t deny the fact that Machine Gun Kelly has become an artist of considerable success and popularity, not in the least bit thanks to his 2020 landmark release, 'Tickets to My Downfall'. In the almost two years since that album came out, MGK’s become even more notorious than he already was, and he’s also gone and recorded a follow-up to the genre-bending record. Enter: 'mainstream sellout'.

'Homesick' sees Sea Girls returning with something just as special as their first full-length. The band's storytelling has gained a few years of maturity over their debut, without letting go of the light-hearted euphoria of life, and equally their sound incorporates some of the biggest and most memorable hooks in their back catalogue.

Fresh off a number one record, headline performances, and an upcoming orchestral gig for Teenage Cancer Trust (sharing a line-up with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher and The Who), they are a band making moves. On the 16th March, Don Broco took a step back to play an intimate show in Huddersfield, here’s what we thought.

Tonight, Twin Atlantic have been able to take their typically upbeat live set and transport it in an unconventional music environment, where the acoustics bounced off the walls to stunning effect.  

Over three years since their last full-length release, indie-rock trio Fatherson have made a return and are set to steal the hearts of the Scottish music scene with their upcoming album 'Normal Fears'. Though curiosity grows high, as the new record faced some delays due to vinyl production issues, we can assure it is worth the wait.

Who can make Hells Angel’s switch personalities with restless seven-year-olds who are convinced they’ve been cheated of the rock show they were promised? And what band can play a two and a half hour set whilst being their own support? Halestorm can.

Taking Back Sunday and Alkaline Trio announced their co-headlining short tour last year and emo kids, or adults to be more precise, had been eagerly awaiting it since.

This Lorna Shore show felt like a theatrical display, something plucked out of the West End and shoved into the world of Deathcore. 

Enlisting the help of some of the brightest vocalists of the UK’s underground alternative scene, math-rock trio a-tota-so have traded their instrumental passages for a vibrant and ever-changing spectrum of different voices, perspectives and emotions on their second album 'Lights Out'.

The Libertines’ fans in London may have been worried as frontman Pete Doherty has battled with respiratory infections that may have prevented him from performing. However, they were treated to an amazing show in the end that went off without a hitch.
