Katy Perry – “Teenage Dream” Album Review
Whilst the opening seconds of Perry’s recent release, Teenage Dream, could have you thinking you’re listening to a slowed down copy of a certain Kelly Clarkson song, what follows is definitely and undoubtedly Katy Perry. Fun, youthful songs are what this album’s all about, the party vibe running strong throughout. Beginning with a trio of [...] -
Good Charlotte – 27/07/10 – Koko, London, Gig Review
This is Good Charlotte’s first UK show since 2008, a one-off London date which sold out rapidly. In wake of the mixed reviews that their 2007 album “Good Morning Revival” received; tonight the air is tinged with a mixture of nerves and anticipation. While support Canterbury play well and please the crowd, it is apparent [...] -
Orphan Boy – “Pop Song” Review
Orphan Boy are a rock/pop group formed in February 2005 from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshine. They soon moved to Manchester where they were signed by Concrete Recordings. The guys have an album entitled “Passion, Pain and Loyalty”, coming out on the 2nd August. The single “Pop Song” precedes the album and will be available from the 19th [...] -
Renegades (FEEDER) – 18/04/10 – Leadmill, Sheffield, Gig Review
I think it’s safe to say that if you turn up to a Renegades show and expect Feeder but with new songs, you would be wrong! Renegades are still Feeder but only in the sense that the guitarist and main songwriter Grant Nicholas and bassist Taka Hirose are still the driving force of the band [...] -
AFI – 06/04/2010 – Brixton O2 Academy, Gig Review
Californian punk-rockers AFI took to the historic Brixton Academy stage in London tonight, in what has to have been one of the most emotionaly packed shows I’ve ever been to. From start-to-finish AFI moshed, jumped and twirled to much delight of the London crowd. The set opened with the hit “Medicate” from the boys latest [...] -
You Me At Six – 11/03/10 – Sheffield O2 Academy, Gig Review
WE THE KINGS were the first band to grace the stage and from America they certainly gave the crowd teen pop rock that wouldn’t be so odd if it was played on an episode of The Hills. Saying that, they had great energy and their interaction with the crowd was excellent – instantly getting the [...] -
Europe – 20/02/10 – London O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, Gig Review
Unfortunately I got to the venue late because of tubes and missed the support act Diamond Head. I got in to the recently re-branded o2 Shepherds Bush Empire just as they were finishing their set off. The place itself is a very old venue, but the great sounding acoustics make up for this. Europe were [...] -
HIM – “Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice” Album Review
Finnish metallers HIM have been writing music together for 19 years. 7th album, Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice finds HIM moving away from the heavy distorted sound as found in the album Venus Doom. In its place, the band have chosen to go down a more commercial route. Frontman Ville Valo’s vocals work extremely [...] -
Lostprophets – 06/02/10 – Hull City Hall, Gig Review
This gig was definitely one of the best ive been to in a long time! Unfortunately I missed the first support band due to the massive queue outside the venue of people waiting to get in. Second on were Kids in Glass Houses. They did an excellent job in warming the crowd up for Lostprophets. [...] -
Lostprophets – “The Betrayed” Album Review
Folloiwing the hugely popular release “Liberation Transmission” (2006), the Welsh rockers are back with “The Betrayed”. From listening to the CD, it is fair to say that there are some songs which have a similar sound to the album “The Fake Sound Of Progress” as well as the album “Start Something” Im my opinion, what [...]
