Following the release of their fifth studio album 'The Trouble With Boys', pop legends Scouting For Girls are currently out on their annual pre-Christmas tour. Hitting Bournemouth’s O2 Academy on a cold Thursday night, we had a feeling we’d be warmed up thanks to a night of great pop-singalongs.

Building on the back of their debut album and adding another beat to rock's ever-strengthening pulse, Of Allies bring big riffs and even bigger vocals to the party with their sophomore album, 'Are We Better Off?'.

This month one of the hardest sounding tours of the year brings itself to the UK, beginning in London at ULU. Knocked Loose bring a package stacked with heavy hitting sounds in support of their stunning album A Different Shade Of Blue, but have they left themselves open to being upstaged by their incredible supporting package?

After years of touring, Croydon rockers Bellevue Days have finally arrived with their debut LP, but can they transcend these astute observations of the demise of the world to create a record that also rocks hard?

Cutting Teeth have gradually been moving the American dominated metalcore sound forward, could this be the release that cements both them and the UK?

Following on from the release of their debut album Don't Wait 'Til Tomorrow, Yonaka headed out on tour earlier this month for a series energetic and chaotic live shows. Check out what went down at the Glasgow show in our photo gallery and review here.

Following on from the release of 2018 album Prequelle which received a rich throng of positive feedback Swedish rockers Ghost embarked on a UK arena tour which rolled into Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena last week. The show was in the running for the most impressive stage setup/performance delivered by a rock band in Cardiff during 2019.

The second wave of Simple Creatures EP’s has arrived in the fun-filled form of 'Everything Opposite'. Ready and raring to release new material a mere six months down the line, the supergroup sees Alex Gaskarth and Mark Hoppus, originally of All Time Low and Blink-182 fame, taking the synth-pop sounds of 'Everything Opposite' to an extent that stretches to super strange spaces.

As far as line-ups go when you put Nervus, Cultdreams and Milk Teeth on the same bill you’re guaranteed to not only have a great night of live music, but also a crowd of open-minded fans willing to embrace and enjoy everything thrown their way. When this tour rolled into The Anvil in Bournemouth last week we got to experience the strength and solidarity of this scene first hand and had a great time in the process.

Las Vegas, the city known for its monumental buildings, 24-hour casinos and spellbinding lights is also home to Las Rageous, which descended upon the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center last month for two days of rock and metal. We ventured across the pond for our very first Las Rageous and came back with some unforgettable memories, including hard-hitting headline performances from Bring Me The Horizon and Rob Zombie.
