After a sold out show at Postbahnhof earlier this year and a stunning performance at Hurricane/Southside Festival, Bombay Bicycle Club return to Berlin once more. Their latest record, So Long, See You Tomorrow, has just been nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize and it’s been my album of the summer. What better way is there…

Catfish and The Bottlemen play loud, explosive, sexy rock and roll songs – full of guitars and energy. The 4 piece from Llandudno, who met at school, have honed their amazing live show over the last 18 months, which sees vocalist and guitarist Van McCann climbing the walls and playing as though his life depends…

“So sick, so sick of being tired and oh so tired of being sick” – that’s the soundtrack of my early twenties angst. It has been more than 10 years since Taking Back Sunday released their debut Tell all your friends but some songs just never get old. Taking Back Sunday are a band who…

In a way, I will always remember Twin Falls as the band that almost got their name stolen by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional who started an indie folk band of the same name in 2013. Eventually, Carrabba changed the name of his band into Twin Forks and Twin Falls were able to continue. Twin…

On their debut album The Horrifying Truth, which debuted at No 2 in the NZ Charts, I Am Giant have bound together what they describe as “a collection of stories, thoughts, observations and exploration” into one cohesive and hard-hitting explosion of sound and melody.
