I was driving home one evening from a show in Exeter recently and I heard a song being played on Radio 2 by Brad Paisley. He was talking about the artist and said that she was from St Ives in Cornwall, as soon as I got in, I looked her up and thought I’d drop her a line to see if she’s be happy to run an interview feature on the site, she was!

We chatted about a whole bunch of topics including her early days, getting a recording contract and guilty pleasures, read on to see how we got on….

Members of Arcturus, Thorns, Mayhem and 1349 have given black metal fans a tremendous 'brutally raw' debut, coming from these notoriously known Scandinavian legends, it is no surprise that it is brilliant.

BROOKE BENTHAM will join Sam Fender as main support for his sold-out UK+EIRE tour starting on the 22nd of November at Manchester Academy and ending at the O2 Academy in Sheffield.

After hearing of a forthcoming UK tour to promote their latest record ‘TBNH’, we were keen to chat to the band, after a few sketchy phone lines, we finally caught up with Sy Bartholomew from the band in a hotel room nestled in the deepest depths of Croatia where he was resting after a “lovely night of traditional food and wine”. We chatted about the early days, musical formats and what’s on the top of his Christmas list….

Fresh from a spellbinding performance at London’s O2, TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB reach Plymouth on the final date of their UK arena tour to promote their fourth long player False Alarm. The Plymouth audience had turned out in their droves on this blustery Sunday evening to catch the band in Devon’s capital city. There were two support acts on the bill with them, BLOXX and SPORTS TEAM, both London based bands who I had never heard of before tonight. We got comfy and waited for the evening to unfold….

35 years after their last UK tour, Black Flag return. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see one of the most important punk bands of all time, and yet… the Tramshed in Cardiff is NOT sold out. It’s busy, and there’s a buzz of excitement in the air, those who are attending realise the magnitude of the event they are at however the last decade hasn’t been kind to the bands legacy. Founder Greg Ginn reformed the band in 2013 along with Ron Reyes and recorded a new album ‘What The…’

Ferris & Sylvester were in Exeter for the final date of their mammoth UK tour. Having sold out The Cavern back in February, I was pleased that they’d decided to move to The Phoenix over the road where they would enjoy a bit more space to allow their fans to congregate once again to watch them perform.

Supported by Plymouth’s Jamie Yost and Redruth’s Disco Rococo, it promised to be one hell of a night, read on to see how it unfolded….

Tonight was the last night that Exeter would have the pleasure of seeing a Cambridge based alternative rock band called MALLORY KNOX, but why? had they received a lifetime ban from the city? was there a restraining order in place? will we ever know?

SEA GIRLS are an up and coming indie band from London and recently played the Radio 1 stage at Reading Festival. Having had their latest single ‘Violet’ named as Annie Mac’s ‘Hottest Record in the World’ on BBC Radio 1, you won’t be surprised when I tell you that, from the moment the doors opened, I knew we were in for one hell of a show! It was obvious that they have already garnered a loyal fan base and by the looks on the faces of people pouring through the doors, they were as excited as me to see them perform.

We were invited along to catch indie rockers SEA GIRLS perform at The Fleece in the heart of Bristol. Before the show, Megan Barnett joined them for a chat about hw the tour is going and a look back over a busy summer of festivals, here’s how she got on….
