Pitchshifter

Halfway between the Prodigy and The Pistols, whom I was obsessed with at the time (their guitarist, Jim Davies, later joined the Prodig...

Black Stone Cherry Skillet Music Ayron Jones

“Here come the boys from the Puget Sound,” spits Ayron Jones as they arrive onstage. There is a certain irony to the next line: “Can you hear me?” given the ridiculously early midweek start time and rush-hour traffic in the rainy city, but nonetheless, MV has been in place since 6 p.m. waiti...

KALEO Shane Smith & the Saints Júníus Meyvant

At the end of Júníus Meyvant’s set here, he plays a cover of the Scottish folk song “Wild Mountain Thyme.” Its windswept environs see the singer and his two-piece band joined by Jökull Júlíusson, the singer in Kaleo. The rest of the set was as oddly beguiling as the man himself. Drum mach...

The Skids Kirk Brandon

The theme tune to the seventies police drama The Sweeney rings out as Kirk Brandon and his cohorts arrive on stage and head into the tubthumping `Land Of Shame` before the stunning `Rocket Ship` from The World Service album is shared with some wonderful accompanying sax tones. With fifteen albums to...

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Black Country, New Road

I last saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds twenty years ago in Wolverhampton but nothing could have prepared me for what was in store tonight. Support or special guests were Black Country, New Road not a localish band as the name could suggest but an art rock, indie-punk, folk music sextet from Cambridg...

Marcus Trummer

On the pre-chorus of “Not The Same”, one of the final tracks on his debut album From The Start, Marcus Trummer delivers the poignant line: “We get so used to what we know.” It’s a simple observation, yet it captures a universal truth—and in many ways, it encapsulates the spirit of this r...

Black Star Riders The Answer Planet Rock

“I would have rebuilt Jericho for nights as good as this.” It’s a line in a song that’s played late at night, of course, but it almost sums up the vibe throughout. This—literally—is a party. Planet Rock radio is 25, and where better to celebrate than at the best rock venue in the land? A...

Seven Kingdoms Reigning Phoenix Music

The first new music from Florida’s Seven Kingdoms in a couple of years is an EP with much to commend it. “The Square” itself gives you the clues. It’s reasonably standard power metal—that is to say, it’s excellently played, and the vocals soar—but there’s just enough there to suggest...
