Live Review: Johnny Who? Frank Carter Steals the Show as Sex Pistols Rock Brum....
The Sex Pistols rolled into Birmingham’s O2 Academy last night (21st September) with all the expected raw and rebellious energy as one would expect. It was a gig marked by nostalgia, defiance, and a sense of chaotic joy. While the absence of their iconic frontman, John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), might have raised eyebrows at first, any doubts were quickly shattered when Frank Carter, without the aid of his Rattlesnakes, stormed onto the stage, seizing the mic like he was born for this very moment.

REVIEW: ONLY THE POETS took over The Fleece in the heart of Bristol for their ONE MORE NIGHT tour....
Fresh from a dream come true show at Reading Festival performing on the Festival Republic stage Only The Poets resumed their UK tour tonight at Bristol’s iconic independent venue The Fleece. This was my second OTP show catching them last Halloween in one of Bristol's smaller but just as prestigious venue, The Lousiana. The crowd that night was made up of passionate fans who had got in early to stake their claim for the front row. Tonight was no different, except this time VIP fans were treated to a Q&A and to enjoy the Soundcheck. This is the kind of thing that not many bands do these days, but makes all the difference, making the fans feel valued, bridging the gap between them and the band.
