LIVE REVIEW

On the first actually glorious day of the year in Newcastle, three bands that sound like three different types of musical chaos took to the second room of The Cluny. This was Pupil Slicers first ever headline tour and to celebrate, they were playing their 2023 record Blossom in full. Joining them were the frankly indefinable Irish rabble God Alone and the Swiss chaotic hardcore punk group Coilguns.

Midwest screamo powerhouse Frail Body performed their new album Artificial Bouquet in full during their first ever UK tour. With support coming from Chalk Hands and As Living Arrows, here's what their London date entailed.

As Pierce The Veil return from a six-year hiatus, all eyes are upon them as they embark on their first UK arena headline tour.

As Pendulum embark on their UK tour that feels more like a celebration from a band realising their own worth, fans gather to be blown away by the band’s impressive audio and visual soundscape.

Original Metalcore and mathcore legends Botch grace the U.K. on their reunion/finale tour for the first of three nights in Bristol. Bringing along Seattle noise merchants Great Falls and Stevenage anarcho-punk quartet Bad Breeding as support.

As Everything Unfolds embarked on their headline tour last month, a triumphant parade of the progress made for a band that have jumped from strength to strength. In support of independent venues, this very much feels like an evening belonging to As Everything Unfolds, one of wholesome and humble realisation.

Last we took to the south west for an evening of music in it's most provocative form.

Bury Tomorrow had one of their most blisteringly successful years to date in 2023, garnering fans both new and old with their latest album ‘The Seventh Sun’. This evening is an extension of this, a celebration of accomplishment given all three bands on this bill have over a decade in existence and have had to fight and traverse the music scene for every inch of their careers to date.

Many will be waking up to a sore neck come Tuesday morning following Frozen Soul's headline London show as tonight's reception for the Texas Powerhouses was anything but frosty.

Returning to our shores to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Artist In The Ambulance, Thrice once again prove their approach to post-hardcore remains ever timeless.

Having braved the elements, we found ourselves once more journeying to Highbury Corner for a surreal blend of intense heartiness and combative catharsis, with Saint Agnes’ fifth stop touring in support of their incredible second studio album, Bloodsuckers.

Citizen's sound may have shifted over the years, but tonight shows that the devotion of their fans has remained steadfast.
