REVIEW: Peace – In Love
In Love is the debut album from one of the UK’s fastest-rising bands: Peace. The Birmingham quartet , who formed just two years ago, have put together an impressive piece of work that’s the perfect accompaniment to spring/summer ‘13 (even if the weather outside isn’t).

REVIEW: Bastille – Oran Mor, Glasgow
Bastille Oran Mor, Glasgow, 2/3/13 The Oran Mor was packed to full capacity, and it’s no real surprise to hear that this gig sold out weeks ago.

REVIEW: Bullet For My Valentine – Temper Temper
Bullet for my Valentine’s first album, The Poison, gave hope to the heavy metal community that a new, post-hardcore Metallica were in our midst. Unfortunately that comparison is no longer appropriate; it was around this stage in their career that Metallicareleased the infamous ‘black album’ and Temper Temper, my friends, is no black album. The opening… Continue reading REVIEW: Bullet For My Valentine – Temper Temper
