I’m a great supporter of support acts, obviously you go to a gig to see the main act and the support is and should be a big part of the evening, they are there to warm the crowd up. Occasionally they are more than that. Tonight was one of those nights. The main act was…
Some haven’t caught onto Yungblud yet, some never will, some are diehard fans ‘Black Hearts Club’ from a near cult like following, he conjures up controversy and love in nearly everything he does. A year or so ago he hit heavy rotation in my house a red duck appeared on a shelf (look that up),…
What was more Impressive? The band or the following? They’ve been around since 2018 and have picked up a strong diehard fanbase along the way and they are only onto their second album ‘Falling Out of View’. I attend a lot of gigs either solo or with one to two friends but for this one,…
Last night was the Hot Wax instore at Vinilo Record Store in Southampton, and what a night. Not your usual instore where you get a few songs, they smashed through a nine song setlist, much to the appreciation of those in attendance. I first saw this three piece perform in a support slot at the…
I settled down last night to watch a film, I’ve been a bit vacant from TV for a while aside from a couple of series I’m following but knew there were a few new films to take a look at. To be honest after sitting on and through Cider Apple Vinegar for the afternoon, which…

The RSD25 list of releases is now online and its a twenty one pages long with a great range of release from some great artists, theres a few live albums in there as well which is good to see, hoping the quality of those is worth it. The thing not to forget is that all…
Dead Man’s Pistol, the Winchester based metal outfit storm their set at The Hobbit in Southampton. A deceptive venue that’s been in existence under its current guise since 1989. A pub upstairs, with stairs leading down to a smallish venue space then a tiered beer garden that would make any establishment envious, complete with outside…
It’s a great festival, they have got it right and i’m impressed every year by the organisation and lineup. I have heard horror stories and friends have had gripes but overall most experiences i’ve been party too are positive, and last year I could not fault it, apart from being so far from the main…
This morning on a record collectors Facebook group, a tiled image of a record collection appeared and it turned out to be a members record collection on Discogs. Here is the link I’ve been on Discogs for a few years, mainly to buy a few records I cannot find elsewhere, but recently started using it…
