[INTERVIEW] INGLORIOUS

It’s 16th May 2017 and the green room of Liverpool’s HMV is abundant with tension as Inglorious’ Andreas Eriksson fights to save one of his great loves. Sleek, tan and curved in all the right places, several thousand pounds worth of Gibson is laid on the operating table under Eriksson’s nimble hands whilst he tries […]

[INTERVIEWS] BITERS

Tuk Smith, frontman of Biters, is a striking figure. Hair a shade of jet black with the occasional shimmer of mystique blue, piercing eyes, and the kind of spirit one wishes to bottle up and wear as a talisman of fortitude. Musically intoxicated by the likes of the aesthetically exquisite David Bowie, it is clear […]

[ALBUM REVIEW] INGLORIOUS: Inglorious II

A band influenced by classic rock giants is nothing new. Coverdale cries, Bonham beats and Joe Perry string jukin’ will always be irremovable beads of condensation within the ever-turning sand timer of rock music recyclables. So when yet another band slide onto the scene with these recurring (yet respectable) influences, it’s easy to sigh and […]

[ALBUM REVIEW] BITERS: The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be

A band formed on the premise of reigniting authenticity, iconicism and style in today’s rock’n’roll scene, Biters have set themselves a pilgrimage to Mordor and back. However, their latest release cherry-picked from their upcoming album ‘The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be’ is a milestone on completing this journey. Boasting a deliciously arrogant, strutting […]

[INTERVIEW] MONSTER TRUCK

Suitably accompanied by his high-speed freight train guitar riffs that echo his band’s colossal slogan ‘DON’T FUCK WITH THE TRUCK’, guitarist Jeremy Widerman is all set to embark upon a headline UK tour with his band Monster Truck. Currently sporting a high-ranking resumé of touring companions, you may have seen Widerman headbanging with the same […]

[INTERVIEW] BLACKBERRY SMOKE

Blackberry Smoke

Blackberry Smoke’s Facebook page reads loud and clear ‘ALWAYS ON TOUR’. Although social media is an environment in which overly hyperbolic self-promotion is frequently brewed, this statement isn’t far from the truth. “We tour pretty much all year round”, confirms Blackberry Smoke’s frontman Charlie Starr. Starr emits an aura that shines as bright as the […]

[ALBUM REVIEW] WILD ADRIATIC: Feel

The White Stripes, The Black Keys, Royal Blood – all exemplary cases of the old adage ‘two’s company, three’s a crowd’ and bands that have fully commanded the globe’s attention. However, emerging trio Wild Adriatic are due to prick up ears with their latest studio creation Feel. An album that epitomises what it must feel […]

[LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS] BLACKBERRY SMOKE + BITERS, Manchester Academy, 31st March 2017

Blackberry Smoke

It’s 7.30pm on 31st March and Manchester Academy is slowly being submerged into a dry-ice haze. Particles of excitement and restlessness create a disturbance in this calming fog, as tonight the Academy houses a crowd that is ruthlessly inpatient for Blackberry Smoke’s appearance. Maybe it’s the incline in heat that Mancunians are recently succumbing to […]

[LIVE REVIEW] THUNDER + CATS IN SPACE, O2 APOLLO, MANCHESTER, 17th MARCH 2017

Upon finishing a debut tour in the Land of Oz, Thunder clicked their heels and found themselves back on British soil surrounded by their loyal British fans at the Manchester Apollo. An understated band that are perhaps overlooked in an historical mass of gaudy British rock bands that snatch the limelight by means other than […]
