• Album Review: Green Day – Revolution Radio

    They are back! Green Day’s first studio release since the arguably over-reaching ¡Uno, Dos, Trés! Trilogy, Revolution Radio was unexpectedly announced alongside the release of premier single ‘Bang Bang’ back in August.

  • Live Review: Five Seconds Of Summer, Capital FM Arena (12/04/2016)

    Five Seconds of Summer are a big, international name in music. They undoubtedly belong to the ‘boyband’ genre – one that relentlessly demands good looks and a pop sound – yet they have managed to carve a reputation that lifts them above this often laughed at label through the novelty...

    A packed Rock City provided the duo of J. Willgoose Esq. and Wrigglesworth, collectively known as Public Service Broadcasting (PSB), with their largest headline show outside of their home city of London. An amusing and playful informational piece created by the band warning against the overuse of phones set...
  • Live Review: The Enemy, Rock City (01/12/2015)

    With a back catalogue formed of four studio albums, The Enemy can almost be described as indie rock veterans. Almost a decade since their debut album We’ll Live And Die In These Towns hit number one in the UK chart, the band return to Nottingham in front of an...
