Bloodstock Open Air Saturday 11th August 2012

Napalm Death have this year off so it’s the turn of the other Brummie brutalists Benediction to open the main stage today. It does seem as though one or the other is guaranteed to play the festival each year, not… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Friday 10th August 2012

The way the bands were set up today was going to involve a lot of running backwards and forwards between stages to see the bands we wanted to. I also had fun shooting from the main arena rather than having… Continue Reading →

Bloodstock Open Air Festival – Catton Hall, Derbyshire Thursday 9th August

Thursday at Bloodstock is a day to ease those of us arriving early into the festival and get into the spirit of things. Tents up and site negotiated we were lucky enough to have some glorious sunshine and plenty of… Continue Reading →

Overkill + Pulled Apart By Horses + The Safety Fire + The Wet Nuns – London 100 Club 9/8/12

This was one of the final Represent Converse events at the legendary 100 club on Oxford Street. Not knowing any of the other bands other than the headliner, when I saw the queue outside, this was going to be interesting…. Continue Reading →

A Forest Of Stars, Wodensthrone, Acolyte & Virophage – London Black Heart 4/8/12

There has been a buzz about the tour embarked upon by the two main bands as it has hit many a venue up and down the country leaving social media with lots of jaw dropped statements about just how good… Continue Reading →

UK Subs, Anti Nowhere League, Discharge, Goldblade, Ed Tudorpole & Dumbjaw – London 100 Club 31/7/12

It’s only 5PM and a big queue already snakes down Oxford Street confusing shoppers, and Olympic tourists. Whets going on we were asked several times? Well this was one of several gigs being held at the venue for free courtesy… Continue Reading →

Municipal Waste, Freebase, Mutant & Hybris – London Dingwalls 10/7/12

This was a last second show for me hence no camera pass and photos but that gave me more time for drinking and thrashing, well it should have done as far as the latter is concerned but I am at… Continue Reading →

Faith No More (and some other stuff), Sonisphere France, Amnéville, 07/07/2012

A little background: Obviously Sonisphere UK was cancelled this year, and from the outside looking in, it seemed squarely down to greed. To change the format from a two day event with a fair number of decent bands to a… Continue Reading →

Anthrax – Den Atelier, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg 08/06/12

Apparently opening up the show tonight were Collapse and Revoker – the former missed due to late arrival; the latter, with their nods toward Machine Head, providing too much of a good excuse to go drink some hideous beer away… Continue Reading →

Hawkwind & Nanobots – Holmfirth Picturedrome 3/6/12

Having caught Hawkwind at various places such as on the back of a van powered by a generator on a beach, the end of a pier and various festival tents I had been meaning to see them at the very… Continue Reading →

Aura Noir, Code, Disfago & Sepuku – London Underworld 24/5/12

It has suddenly got hot and that means Camden smells like a sweaty tramps pants. We glugged brews on street corners risking an asbo before going into the venue where we gladly discovered the air conditioning was working. The heat… Continue Reading →

Primordial, Hell & Winterfylleth – Islington Academy 5/5/12

Apparently as soon as doors opened the night before the London show in Manchester 500 people were straight in to give Winterfylleth rousing support. London is one of those places where people prefer to sit in the pub (and with… Continue Reading →
