LIVE REVIEW: Snow Patrol, Kodaline, Roe, Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth, 27/01/2019

This year Snow Patrol are celebrating their 25th anniversary as a band. In that time they've released seven studio albums and spread their music across the globe, and their live show is just one more reason they’ve achieved such success. We took a trip to the Bournemouth date of their Wildness tour in celebration of their latest release, and with support from Roe and Kodaline the packed out venue was in for a Sunday night treat.

ALBUM REVIEW: Mozes and the Firstborn – Dadcore

Mozes and the Firstborn are proving that grunge isn’t only rife in the Pacific Northwest. Hailing from The Netherlands, this quartet is throwing their sound into the ring with sleazy power-pop guitars and emotive vocals. The band aren’t aiming to re-write the rule book, but they are a strong presence in our new era of grunge. 'Dadcore' is the band’s third album released through the independent label, Burger Records.

LIVE REVIEW: Bury Tomorrow, Garage, Glasgow, 13/12/2018

These kind of shows have been a long time coming for Bury Tomorrow. The band’s sincerity and passion has never been in doubt, and yet it’s been a consistently bumpy ride to success for them. Perhaps that’s part of why this current run of show feels so triumphant: Bury Tomorrow got here through sheer perseverance and being better than their peers. No gimmicks, no lucky timing, not really any haircuts to speak of. Just pure graft.

LIVE REVIEW: A Perfect Circle, O2 Academy, Glasgow, 02/12/2018

The cult status of A Perfect Circle is only enhanced by the band’s detached attitude to their fans. You can come to see them if you want, but if you didn’t they wouldn’t care and they’d still play a great show all the same. Which is probably true. Despite the band’s rare periods of activity, this is a band whose class and musicianship puts most other bands to shame.
