Submotion Orchestra - The Wardrobe, Leeds - 14th March 2012 (Live Review)

Don’t shout about it but Submotion Orchestra could be on their way to the big time. Their take on ‘live dubstep’ has been winning them plaudits since the release of their first EP and with shows like this it is easy to see why they are getting plenty of praise.

Los Campesinos! - Electric Ballroom, London - 22nd March 2012 (Live Review)

Los Campesinos! have slowly been building a name for themselves, and tonight sees them headline the infamous Electric Ballroom. The octet’s newest album, 'Hello Sadness', is widely regarded as a band maturing, and although that may have alienated some of the band’s fans from earlier albums there’s still no shortage of people wanting to see the group.

Roddy Woomble - The Duchess, York - 13th March 2012 (Live Review)

Idlewild frontman Roddy Woomble has been furrowing an alternative path into folk music for a number of years now. Thus it is no surprise that, with Idlewild currently on hiatus, Woomble is devoting plenty of time to his solo work. Last year’s full-length 'The Impossible Song & Other Songs' was a delicately poised collection of joyous indie folk tunes and Woomble has since spent much of his time on the road to promote it, prompting another visit to York tonight.

InMe - Fibbers, York - 10th March 2012 (Live Review)

I made my feelings on InMe clear in my recent review of their fifth full-length album, 'The Pride'. Yet, amongst my mix of apathy and grudging admiration there remained a question. InMe have something of a reputation as a band that can impress on the live circuit. Indeed their live performances can be credited for their mini-resurgence in recent times. On a tour as wide-ranging as this one though, there are a mammoth thirty-five dates, it seems surprising that they can pull a fairly substantial (by York standards at least) crowd into Fibbers this evening. At least half of those gathered near the stage appear to be InMe die-hards and one cannot help but wonder how many shows they will attend on a large scale tour such as this.

Earth - Brudenell Social Club, Leeds - 9th March 2012 (Live Review)

Arriving on the back of the sumptuous 'Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II', Earth have managed to pack out the Brudenell despite their slightly marmite-y reputation as a live act. Dylan Carlson’s drone pioneers may have mellowed considerably in recent years but it is noticeable that a major portion of this crowd seem to be from a metal background. Whatever one says about them, it is certainly the case that Earth are a band that can attract a diverse fanbase.

Despite living in Cardiff for nearly three years, I have never had the pleasure of going to the Coal Exchange, a venue located in Cardiff Bay that is just perfect for the Wild Beasts.

Protest The Hero - Club Academy, Manchester - 7th March 2012 (Live Review)

Out of all the metal bills that will take to UK stages this year, this one might just be the strangest. The return of Protest the Hero to these shores on a proper headline tour has been anticipated for some time but that they should turn up with support from this bunch was rather more unexpected. Uneven Structure are the least surprising choice with their atmospheric djent metal. Blood Command and Long Distance Calling, meanwhile, are bringing the punk and the post-rock to Manchester to join the prog metal oddities that are this evening’s headliners.

Having breezed their way through the “difficult third album” Last year in March with the critically acclaimed Scurrilous, The Canadian tech metal cult heroes have returned to embark on their first UK tour since 2009. In all fairness to them though, they deserve credit for the way they tore Sonisphere’s third stage a new one back in July, but tonight, as front man Rody Walker informs us, is the 5 piece’s “First show in Wales… I think ever!”

Grouplove - Relentless Garage, London - 28th February 2012 (Live Review)

The sold-out venue was beginning to fill as the dark undertones of Kanye West’s 'Monster' filled the room. The nature of their walk on track was a stark contrast to opening number ‘Don't Say Oh Well.’ The track, taken from their self-title EP, oozed happiness like a kid in a sweet shop and got the already hot venue bouncing. Not to lose momentum the 5-piece followed up with ‘Lovely Cup’ complete with harmonious backing vocals from Hannah Hooper. The wails of joy from the entire crowd during the chorus’ as they attempted to keep up with the vocal performance of energetic frontman Christian Zucconi, just emphasised the popularity of the band. The crowd participation carried on as the surprisingly in time clapping opened third song of the night ‘Itchin' On A Photograph.’ The opening track from their debut album got a great reception as the joyous tones of Grouplove had now engulfed everyone in attendance, with Zucconi and Hooper especially putting in everything they had.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela & C.U.B.A. - Brixton Academy, London - 24th February 2012 (Live Review)

Rodrigo, in a rare moment separated from his acoustic guitar, grabs hold of the microphone with both hands and addresses the crowd directly ‘We first got together with these guys about a year ago’ he says gesturing back to the band (C.U.B.A) behind him, ‘We met when we were on tour, and decided to do an album together. We had been touring for ages, so we thought we would release the album, and then we could have a rest’. To those that have heard ‘Area 52’, the idea of taking a break from touring after its completion may seem a bizarre notion. A notion perhaps akin to taking a break from eating after baking a huge delicious cake, or deciding take a break from running for your life in terror after covering yourself in raw meat and breaking into a lion enclosure. Made up of previously released R&G material reworked with 13 piece Cuban orchestra C.U.B.A., Area 52 was made to be played live. Obviously this dawned on Rodrigo and Gabriela at some point between then and now; as they are on stage at the Brixton Academy standing in front of a sellout audience.

The Twilight Sad - Brudenell Social Club, Leeds - 16th February 2012 (Live Review)

The Twilight Sad are one of those bands that, despite being one of the finest British bands to emerge in many a year, are just never going to be everyone’s idea of a good time. Admittedly this is a band that have built their career out of making records largely reliant on the emotional power of despair, but still one cannot hope that such depressing tendencies should not prevent them growing in stature over the years to come. Certainly the full house here at The Brudenell tonight, even if it’s not a particularly large venue, is an encouraging sign.

Anyone who wasn’t already convinced that singer songwriters are well and truly back in fashion need only have scanned the faces of a capacity crowd at Cardiff’s The Globe to get final confirmation. A sea of expectant young faces, resembling a gathering at the Student Union, crowded into one of the better small venues the Welsh capital has to offer, queuing half way down the street to get a good spot.

Brand New – Camden Roundhouse, London – 11th February 2012 (Live Review)

There are not many bands in the world like Brand New. Their last record, 2009’s 'Daisy', may have been a record founded on short, sharp shocks but it still led to them headlining Wembley Arena in January 2010. They may have done pretty much nothing in the interceding years, including their deliberate avoidance of the media, but that has not meant that their legions of loyal fans have disappeared and forgotten about them. Tickets for this date sold out so quickly that, within a couple of hours, a second date at the venue had been confirmed. All across the UK, fans have desperately scrabbled to get into shows on the band’s first full UK tour for at least three years, depending on what you class as a ‘full tour’.

It’s a fair point to say that the Dropkick Murphys return to Scotland around every two years, so when they do come it’s going to be a long-awaited and highly anticipated evening. This alone would justify their sold out show at the Barrowlands (aside from the reason ‘well, it’s the Dropkick Murphys’), yet the announcement of New Jersey’s very own Bouncing Souls as support caused one last surge of ticket sales, et voila, Scotland had a sell-out.

The Treatment are one of the latest bands to create hype within the rock and metal contingent. Hailing from Cambridge, although to hear them you'd think it was LA's Sunset Strip, the hard-rocking five-piece unashamedly draw their influences from the league of Classic Rock giants. We're talking the big guns of AC/DC, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, KISS, Def Leppard and Guns n’ Roses here, all of which are instantly recognised within the energetic tracks that brought to life a dingy Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff last Tuesday, 7th February.

In the Beginning there was nothing but darkness. Then came Justice, who opened with ‘Genesis’; a solitary crucifix lights up the Academy, from high above Justice survey the crowd, and it is good. For French dance duo Justice, subtlety or controversy has never been much of a concern. They talk the talk, and tonight they crank up the volume, pick up the crowd and don’t let them go. The hour and a half that follows proves their borderline messianic complex to be entirely justified.

The Maccabees - Koko, London - 24th January 2012 (Live Review)

As part of MTV’s Brand New for 2012 this gig had massive potential. It was a chance to see one of the finest British bands of this generation, The Maccabees as well as two up and coming artists in support. Before arriving at the venue, rumours were flying around that one of these up and coming artists had cancelled their appearance, upon arrival, these rumours were confirmed. The artist was Lana del Rey, the American singer who has been subject to all kinds of attention ahead of the release of her debut album ‘Born to Die’. The ‘Video Games’ singer had pulled out “due to illness” and in a notice that was put up outside Koko in London went on to apologise to “all her fans”. This was a bitterly disappointed pill to swallow as the over-hyped del Rey was all set to perform in the UK since she performed a short tour in November last year. Coming off the back of a heavily criticised performance on Saturday Night Live and a controversial first UK radio interview, this would have been a fantastic opportunity for music fans to judge the obviously talented singer on her performance.

The queue was buzzing with impatience. Almost everyone you looked at was wearing an Asking Alexandria shirt (or one of the other three bands performing).

Any prior doubts of their ability were soon put to rest.

Pure Reason Revolution, or PRR, were a remarkably unique band considering the British musical climate.

I say were, of course, as this Glasgow show was the band's penultimate show before splitting; yet another example of a UK band finishing before the mainstream got a whiff (or maybe that is wishful thinking).

A man has a tactical chunder. Armed with an empty pint glass, he finds a quiet corner, empties his stomach into said receptacle, not spilling a drop. It’s all very neat and in a way, civilised. At least in as much as anyone who drinks so much they can’t get to bathroom in time to vomit can be civilised. But, he’s not used to it anymore. Once he was ‘alternative’. Not for him the British staid music scene with all the nonsense that came with the pre-Britpop years (at least Britpop brought fun, musical, guitar-based nonsense). He was looking across the pond to bands that meant something, that spoke to him and his angsty, black-clothing-clad, teenage years: like Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins. Which is why he’s here, in Brixton, watching the band of his youth and reliving his (and indeed our) youth. Unfortunately, as with beer, it’s never quite as good second time around.
