Ruled by Raptors + Under the Sky + Dead Mans Pistol (I’m using a featured pick of Dead Mans Pistol, just because Stig is a mate) Headed up to The Railway inn last night in Winchester, a great independent music venue. It was a rescheduled night from last year which felt long overdue as the…
Playing to a sold out crowd at The Joiners, a small independent venue with a capacity of 200, with this style of music, means literally shaking the foundations of the buildings either side with every song. A setlist of structural threat! Seriously though the audience literally made the ground move, that sprung floor, well I…
This band is fan favourite, singer Ollie Baxxter thanking all for coming to see the band, it was the audience thanking them. From Virginia, USA, the latest incarnation of Broadside now consisting of Ollie Baxxter on vocals, Pat Diaz on Bass guitar, Dom Reid, on guitar and Jeff Nichols on Drums. A pop-punk outfit well…
First on of three, with a crowd that obviously knew how good the support acts are and were not going to miss out. I cannot remember when The Joiners was that busy that early. Young Culture thanked those in attendance for turning out early to support but thanks wasn’t needed, this crowd was dialled in…
It has been 34 years since I walked into Woolworths and bought ‘Unbelievable’ on CD single, followed quickly by ‘I Believe’ on CD single then Schubert Dip on Vinyl. My love for those songs has never wavered, they were at a perfect time at the start of the 90s. Support was from ‘The Dirt’ from…
Why The Fantastic Four? Ok maybe I’ve misappropriated/stole a phrase but simply put it was a one night, four bands. Four bands I felt lucky to see perform, four bands that could have been the headline act! Four bands now firmly in my Spotify playlists. No disrespect to the Clause who definitely did deserve to…
That’s twice now, could become a habit! King Nun + Support from Hypothetics & President Elect It’s Independent Music Week, a great effort every year to support local venues and I saw King Nun announced. The plan was to see them In Bournemouth on the Thursday but then last minute I saw that I’d missed…
So I was headed to New York for a few days, time to see what’s on, I had three evenings there, two of which were already taken so it was all about the 12th of January, there are a good number of venues big and small covering a lot of genres but the first online…
We were not ‘Bilked’ by this band, they paid there fans back in full and a gave a tip. I remember hearing Spiked (released 2018) a few years ago and instantly adding it to my regular playlist where it has remained since leading me to order the Vinyl of the self titled debut album on…
Been a fan for years narrowly missing them at the Isle of Wight Festival back in 2018 due to crossing delays and with tours since then not quite lining up, then this gig was postponed. The lady next to me excited “this is my fourth time” Not jealous at all! That’s enough of the excuses,…
