Vein.fm return from lockdown more vigorous, bloodthirsty and abstract on ‘This World Is Going To Ruin You’. A product of anger, anxiety, despair and the confidence to take these feelings and channel them into pure energy, the band have unleashed lightning from the bottle to strike us all down. 

Ghost return with 'Impera', the most cohesive yet eclectic mix of songs they’ve put out to date. With influences ranging from ABBA to Iron Maiden, ‘80s arena rock, and even some Latin inspired drumbeats, there’s something here for everyone, and it’s the best the band has ever sounded in their 10+ years of activity.

Pulling out all the stops and putting every single song into the setlist with pure emotion and elation this evening is more than testament to a debut record that has done so much.

What happens when a band, who have been rising the national ranks in popularity, finally return home for their first headline show since pre-COVID? Well, in YONAKA’s case, absolute chaos, that’s what.

Stand Atlantic are back in the UK and in the nearly four years since they first came over here to play at the Camden Assembly, they were back in Camden. This time at the much bigger venue the Electric Ballroom where they wowed fans with a pinpoint performance.

The Barrowland Ballroom is in the hearts of many as a staple within the Scottish music scene, holding its reputation as truly iconic for decades. A venue this iconic was worthy of the incredible line-up of Neck Deep, Wargasm, Higher Power and happydaze.

After playing a role within Sleep and High on Fire, Pike has released his debut solo album and brought some friends along to help him out.

The Kooks put on an iconic three-night run of debut album classics, fifteen years later. 

French metalcore quartet Insolvency deliver an ambitious sophomore effort with 'Illusional Gates', boasting sharper songwriting, creative electronic sections and a heavier production that’s sure to leave an impact on the ‘core scene.

alt-J can easily be argued as the UK’s best band of the 21st century. Ever since their Mercury Award winning debut, they have produced some of the highest quality music around in a variety of different genres. So, five years on from 'RELAXER', how does 'The Dream' hold up in the band’s incredible discography?
