Dan Whitlam – Bristol Trinity Centre
As both a long-time admirer of Dan Whitlam’s work and a young writer myself, I was thrilledto have…
New Found Glory – O2 Academy Bournemouth
New Found Glory delivered exactly what we came for: a career-spanning set packed with hits from their self-titled debut, Sticks and Stones, and a few teasers from their upcoming album. But before they took the stage, the night kicked off with a band that’s quickly making waves on this side of the Atlantic.
Album Review: The Subways – When I’m With You
Opening with debut single Oh Yeah, the album wastes no time reintroducing that signature Subways formula: chaotic in the best way, punchy riffs colliding with shout along choruses and infectious confidence. It’s DIY in spirit but delivered like absolute pros - proof that their raw sound was never a lack of polish, but an intentional middle finger salute to overproduction!

Mimi Webb brought her Confessions Tour to a packed Bristol Beacon for its penultimate night, delivering a confident,…

Richard Ashcroft is back, and he’s reminding us exactly why he’s one of Britain’s most enduring voices in modern music. After supporting Oasis on their stadium reunion tour across the UK - and soon to follow them on their South American dates - Ashcroft has returned to the spotlight with Lovin’ You, his seventh studio album, blending introspection, romance and the occasional musical curveball.
Album Review: Zac Lawrence – Beware of Pity
It’s fair to say that seeing DEADLETTER live and listening to their debut album Hysterical Strength on repeat were two highpoints of my recent musical adventurings. So when frontman Zac Lawrence’s solo record ‘Beware of Pity’ landed in my inbox I was more than a little excited. I then discovered with jittering joy that it was a 60’s folk inspired drop of potential loveliness. Yes, I cried, as I gave my little beardy chin a pensive scratch, quickly crossed myself in the name of Woody, Bert and the Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and hit play. Thankfully, with folk’s holy trinity watching over me, I was not disappointed.
The Kooks – Utilita Arena Cardiff
On a stormy Saturday night in Cardiff, with Storm Amy battering the UK, The Kooks brought a much-needed dose of escapism inside the sold-out Utilita Arena. More than 20 years in the game, it’s an impressive run for a band still finding new fans — and right now, they’re enjoying something of a renaissance.
Album Review: Adult Leisure – The Things You Don’t Know Yet
I first came across Adult Leisure at the tail end of 2024 when I stumbled on their track Control. Within seconds, I was hooked - the glistening guitars, the emotive vocals and the way they managed to capture both joy and melancholy in a single track.
