Who would have thought that John Lydon—better known as Johnny Rotten—could still command a crowd 50 years after igniting punk rock’s explosive debut? Yet, on the intimate and atmospheric stage of The Foundry in Torquay, PIL (Public Image Ltd) proved that age is merely a number and rebellion remains ageless.

For many rock music fans, Slam Dunk weekend has become the de facto beginning of festival season, commencement of summer and ultimate bellwether event for any self-respecting pop-punk, emo or metal fan. The Hatfield based part of the festival has evolved over the years, adapting to rapid growth, location change and of course a pause during the pandemic. Every summer forever? Almost.

DECAPITATED recently played Exeter Phoenix for the second UK night of their Infernal Bloodshed Over Europe tour, supported by Carnation, Warbringer and Cryptopsy.

What better way for Prima Queen to kick off their tour celebrating the release of their debut album, The Prize, than aboard Bristol’s iconic floating venue, Thekla? For Bristol native Louise Macphail, this was more than just another gig—it was a homecoming, filled with nostalgia and the echoes of past nights spent in the crowd, including a memorable Phoebe Bridgers show she once dragged an ex to.

Ahead of their debut album, the self titled 'Panic Shack' due out on July 18th, the Welsh band hit the good ship Thekla with an all-action live show and an after show DJ set to get Bristol bouncing.

Tuesday nights don’t typically scream '“rock ‘n’ roll”, but that didn’t stop Exeter Phoenix from buzzing with energy as Huey Morgan and his band took the stage. Supported by the fresh-faced indie-rock five-piece Twin City—making their Exeter debut—the night delivered a solid dose of groove, humor, and undeniable musicianship.

A packed out O2 Academy, Bristol witnessed Merseyside's finest set the tone for the summer in preparation for their second album, the follow up to hugely successful debut ‘I Wonder If The World Knows?’, and the crowd went wild for it.

Ten albums in, and somehow, this was my first time seeing Ezra Furman live. Ridiculous, I know. But what better way to make amends than at an intimate, sold-out in-store show at Rough Trade Bristol, celebrating the release of Goodbye Small Head.

SPORTS TEAM today release new album 'Boys These Days' and have revealed a new run of dates for Autumn. 

Ahead of appearing at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, HARD LIFE have announced a UK run of dates for Autumn. New single ‘othello’ is out now, the first single from the new project ‘onion’ out 18th July.

Welsh indie/shoegaze outfit Wylderness are back with a new sonic chapter, blending nostalgia-soaked reflections with their signature shimmering wall of sound. Their forthcoming EP, Safe Mode, set for release on 2nd June, offers a reimagining of the 90s software boom—not through the lens of Silicon Valley, but in the heart of Wales’ south coast.

Detroit, MI  - Today, Grammy-nominated metal band I Prevail returns with their new single “Violent Nature” out now via Fearless Records. With it, they released a gripping music video that highlights the track’s fast-paced and infectious energy.
