Rage Against The Machine + Gogol Bordello + Gallows + Roots Manuva
Finsbury Park
London, UK
Sunday 6th June 2010
A lot of people jumped on the bandwagon and fully supported the Facebook campaign initiated by Jon and Tracy Morter to get Rage Against The Machine to the number one Xmas spot in the UK this past December, for varying reasons from screwing the current system, being cool and thrusting…

The Damned
The Damned
Shepherds Bush Academy
London, UK
Friday 4th June 2010
Shepherd’s Bush Academy’s website might call The Damned “punk heroes”, but there is little question over how omissible that is. For a band that started a tail-gating competition with The Sex Pistols over who could release the first official punk single back in the heyday of ‘76,…

Alkaline Trio + Gallows + Set Your Goals
Alkaline Trio
Roundhouse
London, UK
Tuesday 1st June
So we missed the support acts who I’m told were Set Your Goals and Gallows (who have a manic week or two of shows in and around the capital) and by the time of our arrival The Roundhouse was sweltering from the heat and pretty packed although not sold out….

Astpai + Three Summers Strong
Ryan’s Bar
Stoke Newington, UK
Sunday 30th May
I’ve attended several spoken word, comedy and acoustic shows at Ryan’s Bar in Stoke Newington, and really like the small jazz club vibe that resonates; with its low tables and chairs scattered across the room and the tiny stage that creates an up close and personal intimacy. The venue…

The Junk + The Sterilizers + The Apostates + Liam O’Kane
Ryan’s Bar, Stoke Newington
UK
Thursday 27th May 2010
Stoke Newington in Hackney is not primarily known for it’s punk gigs, but venue Ryans bar is increasingly being used by a number of different promoters putting on quality, interesting punk and hardcore gigs, even if the place usually ends up like a sauna on the surface of…

Pennywise + Strike Anywhere + A Wilhelm Scream + Project North
Shepherds Bush Empire
London, UK
Sunday may 16 2010
Sadly we missed all of the support acts on the night, something I don’t usually like to do but in this case with good reason as we were initially delayed and then spent a large amount of time with Pennywise for an interview. The gig had been contentious,…

The Filaments + Ten O Sevens + Only Joe + Jakal
The Square, Harlow
UK
Saturday 15th May
After a ridiculous number of “last ever gigs,” it appears that one last time was never going to be enough for these Essex boys. The bug has finally bitten – The Filaments are back on the UK circuit to inject some much needed life into a punk scene that some…

The Slackers + Dirty Revolution
Moho Live
Manchester, UK
Tuesday 11th May 2010
Sharing stages with the likes of Mustard Plug, The Star Fucking Hipsters and tonight’s headliners The Slackers has done Dirty Revolution the world of good. Being constantly on tour for the past month has allowed vocalist Reb Elle’s confidence to really shine through, both in her performance and addressing…

Deez Nuts + The Ghost Inside + TRC + Awaken Demons + Break Even
Camden Underworld
London
Thursday 13th May 2010
So its 18:58 and two minutes until Break Even open tonight’s show at The Underworld in Camden, London, I find my way onto the balcony, sit back and relax. Then when they graced the stage I couldn’t do anything but smash my head and pretend I knew every word they…

The Slackers + The Skints + Dirty Revolution
Islington Academy
London, UK
Saturday 8th May 2010
A Saturday night in the capital and a healthy dose of ska and good times were planned with the line-up promising plenty of dancing and skanking good times. The frustrating prolonged London weekend public tube engineering works meant I arrived late for the show, but to be fair to…

Groezrock 2010
Groezrock 2010
Meerhout, Belgium
April 23-24 2010
After last year festivities and fantastic band lineup, Groezrock 2010 seemed to somehow raise the bar again and as hard as nature tried to scupper the event in Meerhout, Belgium with its volcanic ash spewing across Europe from the unpronounceable Icelandic volcano preventing all manner of transport and disrupting lives…

Iggy And The Stooges
Iggy And The Stooges
Hammersmith Apollo
London, UK
Monday 3rd May 2010
Iggy Pop runs onto the stage of Hammersmith Apollo with the energy of a man barely a third of his age. His 60-something, pensioner-defying, rabid stage presence and showmanship from the opening track to the finale is something to behold.
Iggy is back with The Stooges to…

Star Fucking Hipsters + Dirty Revolution + Throats + Defcon Zero
Purple Turtle
London, UK
Tuesday 27th April 2010
Another ‘school night’ and another great show lined up in the capital. The Purple Turtle opposite the more glamorous Koko in North London has a line of crusty punks in their ripped denim and leather uniforms drinking outside the venue with the bands themselves intermingling with friends while the…

Sonic Boom Six + Knockout + Kickback UK
Manchester Academy
Manchester, UK
Sunday 18th April 2010
Kickback UK, obviously stoked to be playing this gig, are eager to get stuck into their set and get people dancing. A couple of technical hitches and broken strings allowed for that uneasy moment where the silence needs to be filled with a good few minutes of awkward banter…
