 | Unfortunately, the night didn’t kick off as smoothly as everyone would have hoped. Due to some issues on the door to do with ID, a lot of Madina Lake’s young fans were getting turned away from the venue, which held the queue up massively, so we didn’t get to see any of Kasiuss’ set. We’ve seen them a few times before though, and know just what they’re capable of, so we’re pretty sure they’ll have put in a confident performance full of stadium sized songs. The first band that we caught were Essex rock band The Wild. They put on a great show full of bouncy rock songs, and... more >> |

Rolo Tomassi: Cosmology [Album Review]
 | Having been active in some way or another for close to 5 years now, these guys have built up a solid fanbase and live reputation in the UK, famous particularly for their jarring, synth-infused rhythms and frontwoman Eva Spence’s ferocious roar. They’ve been tearing up venues up and down the country, including high-profile support slots with The Dillinger Escape Plan and slots at the big summer festivals. A worthy live reputation causes problems for a lot of bands. The main issue being the difficulty of capturing the raw passion of a live performance on record. Rolo Tomassi, however, have n... more >> |

Madina Lake Live At The Duchess, York [Event Preview]

Unfortunately, the band will be touring without bassist Matthew Leone, who will be resting at home following a horrendous attack after he attempted to save a woman from being beaten in the street. Madina Lake have had a successful career thus far, touring with bands such as The Used and Papa Roach, as well as taking part in The Kerrang Tour alongside Coheed & Cambria... more >> |
