Ever since shame stormed onto the scene with single 'One Rizla', followed by the eventual Rough Trade Album of the Year 'Songs of Praise', they have been one of Britain’s brightest young bands. Five years on their sound has matured, but is that for better or worse?

Paramore are one of the defining 21st century rock bands. Hailing out of Tennessee, and forming as teenagers, the band have become something bigger than perhaps the trio could ever possibly imagine. After a 6 year hiatus, 'This Is Why' shows Paramore at their most captivating yet. 

The 1975 are huge, they are getting nearly as big as Matty Healy’s ego nowadays, and their latest sold-out UK tour only puts an exclamation mark next to that statement, well next to both statements. We ventured to Nottingham arena to see what all the talk has been about on one of the most controversial UK tours in a long time.

Holding Absence are a band that seem to be truly realising their potential in the past few years, and a sold-out Nottingham Rescue Rooms is just another example of that, but does their live show match the upping success of their music?

Ever since their breakout single 'Chocolate' back in 2013, The 1975 have continuously stepped up the standards of what it is to be a successful modern-day indie-rock outfit. Fresh off the controversial 'Notes On A Conditional Form;, can The 1975 climb back up to the peaks their music has previously reached?

Parkway Drive’s live reputation is maybe the best in the whole genre. Having moved onto arenas after the release of their 2018 LP 'Reverence', their live show is one of the keys to the band's success - so does their 2022 UK tour continue to build on this already huge reputation?

Having previously performed his 2000th show at the venue, this was a special night for Frank Turner and all in attendance.

Circa Waves are a staple of the UK indie-rock scene, coming up to eight years since their iconic debut 'Young Chasers'. The band have gone from strength to strength ever since this LP, with sets in front of tens of thousands of people on main stages now the norm for the band. We caught up with vocalist Kieran Shudall and bassist Sam Rourke at Leeds Festival to discuss their summer of festivals, their new EP 'Hell on Earth' and more.

Behemoth are a 21st century black metal band who are creating a legacy. After their ground-breaking 2014 LP 'The Satanist', the band seemingly haven’t stopped touring. Their brand of brutality and at times, melody, has seen them go to the top of many festival bills. So, does their latest full-length effort live up to their previous work?

We headed to Leeds Festival for a solid weekend of live music and headline performances from The 1975, Dave, Arctic Monkeys and more.
