    Gig Review: Dirt Box Disco + Support at The Georgian Theatre, Stockton – 24/08/2018
    Steve White 9th September 2018

    When I turn up at The Georgian Theatre I’m surprised by the distinct lack of people in attendance. However, and thankfully, people appear in time for local band The Filth who first unleashed their pun…

    Samantha Hall 3rd September 2018

    First up on the bill were Leicester-based band, Escapade. The four-piece Brit-rock band both looked and sounded the part, with no questioning on my part as to how they won the SoundWaves National Musi…

    Review: The Skapones – ‘Cradle to Grave’ Album
    Damian Robinson 2nd September 2018

    According to Horace Panther, the beauty of 2-Tone and ska music was always its ability to tell honest tales about British culture in the early 1980s. Removed from the polished shine of say Bucks Fizz …

    Lee Allcock 31st August 2018

    Up first tonight to perform to the highly-appreciative crowd were Du Blonde. Fronted by Newcastle-born Beth Jeans Houghton, she decided to go through a visual and aural transformation from sombre folk…

    Gig Review: The Old Pink House + Support at The Cluny, Newcastle – 18/08/2018
    Samantha Hall 31st August 2018

    Only releasing their debut EP ‘Expectations’ one day prior, The Old Pink House’s headline gig at The Cluny was the perfect opportunity to celebrate their success. Not only this, but it was also their …

    Gig Review: Gomez at 02 Academy, Newcastle – 24/08/2018
    Damian Robinson 30th August 2018

    Whereas the majority of the mid-90s indie scene championed loud guitars, typecast frontmen and most things reductive, history shows that a fraction of artists held firm in an attempt to shield culture…

    Steve White 26th August 2018

    Openers Blockheads ooze quality musicianship as they deliver with effortless charm and coolness a set of classic songs that are known and loved by the majority of those present. The tracks are underpi…

    Gig Review: Status Quo at Middlesbrough Town Hall – 21/07/2018
    Steve White 28th July 2018

    Status Quo is at Middlesbrough Town Hall – I can’t quite believe it! The mega rock stars played the Town Hall tonight prior to a whole series of summer festival dates. And if this was a warm-up for th…

    Damian Robinson 23rd July 2018

    Even with their changed line-up, The Cosmic Dead remain, as ever, focused on creating dark, disturbing, environments. Using their live show as a vehicle to search into the darker parts of their minds,…
