BRING ME THE HORIZON, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and more at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on 13/4/19
For the past 15 years Bring Me The Horizon have been one of the most criticized bands of the 21st century, constantly changing up their style to the dissatisfaction of a lot of people. From the early days of Count Your Blessings you see a band that brought nothing but thrashy breakdowns, death growls and straight up aggression. Fast-forward to 2019 and we see a band that’s gone through almost all the genres of music which includes the likes of Metalcore, hardcore, rock, pop and as seen with this year’s release of AMO, even electronica and hip hop.

“All The World Loves A Clown” is one of the leading lyrics of the chorus in the song “Be A Clown” written by American composer and songwriter Cole Porter for the 1948 musical comedy The Pirate; as irrelevant as this information may seem when negotiating the maniacal mathcore misfits that are NSW’s Totally Unicorn and […]
