Live Review: Humanity Depraved – Trillians, Newcastle, October 25th 2010

October 27, 2010

The Boy Will Down are to be headlining at Trillians tonight, which makes this review a little different – it’s solely focused on three massive reasons why the North East’s music scene is very, very underestimated and why so many bands get overlooked. This focuses purely on the local openers for the tour, read on and find out why… It’s gartered a good crowd in the dingy rock bar, so someone’s doing something right…

Live Review: Don Broco – Pumphrey’s Cellar Bar, Newcastle, October 18th 2010

October 26, 2010

Well, this sucks – Pumphrey’s Cellar Bar has fallen fate to new licensing restrictions disallowing them to have anyone under the age of 18 inside. It’s a hefty blow, but there’s still a decent enough turn out for Don Broco, halfway through their aptly named Dreamboy’s On Tour… tour.  Tasty!

October 26, 2010

It’s great to watch a band grow, both in popularity and musically, and My Passion just happen to be one of those bands. A little over a year-and-a-half ago, the now five-piece were playing the dingy Cooperage on the Quayside and now, having also been a part of the Kerrang! Tour earlier this year, they have packed out the Academy 2.

Review: In Oceans – In Oceans (EP)

October 20, 2010

Lots of bands currently doing the rounds on the UK underground circuit are releasing countless EP’s, mini-albums, demo’s, whatever, with one thing in mind – appeal. It’s either the most tooth-rotting pop-punk, or it’s something with a breakdown to impress. Newcastle troup In Oceans are nothing of the sort – hailing from the more technical side of the spectrum, their self-titled debut is a massive breath of fresh air from the very off.

September 26, 2010

Clashing with Hell On Earth’s big boys Terror and Every Time I Die just down the road is possibly the worst mistake a booking agent could of possibly made, but none the less, TRC and Lower Than Atlantis’ joint venture, the This Is England tour, makes a stop in Sheffield. Given the circumstances, the attendance is noticeably low – let’s see how it affects the bands tonight.

Live Review: A Loss For Words – Trillians, Newcastle, September 22nd 2010

September 26, 2010

Sadly, due to new ID rules recently implemented, about 40-kids are turned away on the door, but that doesn’t put a stop to the party inside as A Loss For Words return to Newcastle.
