The night starts with Skam – a local three-piece band. Despite them going on stage a mere ten minutes after the doors opened, there is already a decent sized crowd. They have a classic heavy rock sound which clearly went down well and certainly impressed me. They’re fun to watch too – their bass player…
Tonight was a gig I’d been looking forward to since it was announced – Anthrax playing a small venue like the Oxford Academy. Judging by the fact that tickets sold out quickly then plenty of other people were looking forward to tonight as well. There were large queues outside the venue before the doors opened…
The night started with Rival Sons who had a very impressive turnout – often here people stay in the pub till the headliner but Rival sons had the place packed out for their set and the huge amount of applause proved people were here early to see them not just to get a good spot…
The night started With Meisha. Sadly when they came on stage at 8pm the venue was almost deserted. To make things worse the sound was awful. The keyboards were way too prominent and this detracted from the overall sound and enjoyment. The dozen or so fans present were vocal in their support but with so…
Rock´n´Roll fest på kära KB. Funkiga Electric Boys och återvändande Bonafide är båda aktuella med skivsläpp till sommaren. Electric Boys har varit borta i skånska Klippan hela veckan och jammat in låtar hemma hos nytillskottet i Bonafide – basisten Martin Ekelund. Så de passade på att gemensamt göra en smutsig spelning för de skånska fansen…
Tonight is the launch party for Pythia’s new album, The Serpents curse. The Mariana Hollow who are supporting also have a new album out (Velvet Black sky). Normally with two unsigned bands playing a midweek gig I wouldnt expect a large crowd, but tonight the Borderline is pretty packed – the bands have attracted a…
Melbourne Soundwave had been inked in to my mental calendar for almost a year. The excitement brewed as I pulled myself from the comfort of bed and into the shower, fighting a hangover from the previous night’s exploits. I hit the ground running, trying to make it to the festival in time for one of…
Prick kl.21 så drar introt till Patient Zero igång. KB är infekterat av HammerFall-sjukan! HammerFalls nya fläskiga ljudbil slår rakt mot en som en taskig käftsmäll. Ljudet är rent och tydligt. Cans sång hörs riktigt bra och är väl mixad med instrumenten. HammerFall är ute på en intensiv klubb-turné för att komma sina fans riktigt…
German electro metal band, Cold Rush are due to release their second album ‘AmoKKoma’ later this year. Their first album, ‘The Illness’ was released in 2009 and since then the band has undergone a change in line up including recruiting a new front man Matthias Kupka. With this new album, the band promise that their…
Pray For Locust Unga, heta och skickliga! Jag hade inga större förväntningar på Stockholmsgrabbarna i Pray For Locust. Lite Myspace och Youtube, så jag hade en liten aning om vad det var jag skulle se. Bandet klev in på scenen i Studion och drog igång ett grymt ös. Dubbla kaggar och en tight basgång samt…
House of metal 2012 Vilken comeback och dundersuccé! Festivalen utvecklas från år till år. Drivna och erfarna festivalmänniskor som vet vad de ska göra. Organisationen lärde sig av förra årets debacle! Trots stora namn som ”T.N.T”, ”U.D.O” och ”Triptykon” mfl så gick det kräftgång. Visst levererade banden men publiken svek. Det var egentligen bara ”Ghost”…
Utsåld premiär på The Tivoli =Bäddat för fest Turnépremiär i Helsingborg för Mustasch med deras nya Sounds Like Hell, Looks Like Heaven. The Tivoli hade förärats detta kungliga besök från Göteborg. Nu med en helsingborgare bakom batteriet – Jejo Perkovic, som (tillfälligt?) ersatt avhoppande Danne McKenzie. Premiären med sitt nya band på ”hemmaplan” började lite…
