LIVE REVIEW: Volbeat, O2 Academy, Glasgow, 24/09/2019

All too often modern rock and metal bands can become enslaved to a type and style of music which is more cookie cutter than innovative. It is at times like these when Volbeat smack you dead in the teeth with a welcome wall of distinctive, melodic and thoroughly unique metal-billy. The band are touring venues in the UK on a headline run, and Bring The Noise UK were there in the front two, horns in the sky, for their sold-out Glasgow show.

LIVE REVIEW: With Confidence, ROAM, Woes, The Dead Love, The 1865, Southampton, 20/09/2019

It’s been just over a year since Aussie trio With Confidence released their second studio album Love and Loathing, and to celebrate they’re out on a co-headline UK tour with label mates ROAM. With ROAM riding on a wave of excitement following the recent release of their third album Smile Wide, we knew spirits were going to be high when the first night of tour hit Southampton’s The 1865, and it's safe to say that we weren’t let down.

LIVE REVIEW: Laura Jane Grace and The Devouring Mothers, Frank Iero and The Future Violents, Scala, London, 29/08/2019

Here’s the thing about punk shows; they’re fast, they’re loud, they’re sweaty and if the phrase “this song’s about…” doesn’t come up at least once, then a bear doesn’t shit in the woods. We took a trip down to London's Scala for an exceptional night of punk rock from co-headliners Laura Jayne Grace and the Devouring Mothers and Frank Iero and the Future Violents.
