Just before the final night of their UK tour in support of latest album ‘Spirit’ I caught up with Reckless Love’s Olli Herman to talk about his dad, the bands love of women, eating pussy and their next video.

A little month to go before their official return to the UK, Aussie hellraisers Airbourne picked the best possible place outside their homeland to do what they do best, and that is raise the aforesaid hell… with plenty of merriment thrown in, as they stopped off for almost a full …

You can never have enough Reckless Love, well so some of us ladies here at Planet Mosh think and with them mixing the set list up at each show, we think they are worthy of a second review. Back again for what is fast becoming an annual visit, there is …

Autumn is by far my favourite season not only for the weather but also because it hails the return of the tour season.  With so many bands hitting the UK shores you have plenty to keep you occupied and entertained and tonight was one to those nights.  Heading down to …

Tonight was a gig I’d been looking forward to since tickets first went on sale – three great bands any of who would be worth seeing alone, playing together on one bill. The night kicked off with Halestorm, who despite the early start (they were on stage at 7pm) played …

The autumn gigging season is finally here, much to the relief of many, although perhaps not their bank manager. Tonight was a night of one of the best bands of old and one of the best bands of new. Night By Night kicked off the proceedings on this the last …

Tonight started with the support act – Rockbox.  My first reaction was certainly one of surprise as the first member of the band came out with a large Sousaphone, and was closely followed by a singer with a megaphone, a guitarist and two drummers carrying their drums.  Apart from the …

While I’ve often bemoaned poor attendances at gigs on ‘school nights’, it always pleasing to see some shows buck the trend, as it were, and so it is a genuine pleasure to be able to report, right at the outset, that, despite it being a Sunday, there was a very …

I’m going to lay my cards on the table right from the off and state, with supreme confidence, that this was one of the best – if not THE best – live performances by a local band in front of a local crowd that I have seen, certainly in a …

I spoke to both Darkest Era guitarists shortly before they played The Garage in London as part of their UK tour supporting Gloryhammer.        

I spoke to Finnish metal band Battle Beast shortly before they played their first ever UK gig at the Underworld in Camden as part of their European tour with Powerwolf.  Hear what they had to say with the player below..              

Deep into their 36 date European tour, Finntroll decended on the UK.  Ahead of their show in Bilston, I spoke to Vreth and Tundra about their current tour and their upcoming North American tour, unexploded bombs, gas explosions and Finntroll on ice. Apologies for the sound quality towards the end …

Bilston…yes I wasn’t sure where it was either as I headed towards Wolverhampton on the train.  Only a short journey away from both Wolverhampton and Birmingham, Bilston has a gem of a venue that you just don’t get in London – and for us living in London, that’s a bad …

On the second night of their UK tour, Turisas headlined the O2 Academy in Islington, London.  Ahead of the show I spoke to Jussi Wickström and briefly Olli Vanska about the reaction to their new album, the recording process, living in London and what’s next for Turisas.         …

For the penultimate night of their sixteen date UK tour Zico Chain came to Sound Control, Manchester. The venue has different rooms and today’s gig was taking place on the ground floor. A smallish venue with, on the minus side, pesky pillars but on the plus side, a bit of …

It’s Friday night and I am heading down to the Oh Yeah Centre to see The Devil Wears Prada on their 8:18 album tour, featuring Napoleon and Dead Harts for support acts. I am looking forward to this show because it has such a great line up AND it’s a …

I spoke to Europe singer Joey Tempest ahead of the release next week of the band’s new live DVD release – Live at Sweden Rock: 30th Anniversary show. Planetmosh:  In June you headlined Sweden Rock festival in front of 30,000 fans.  That performance is now being released on CD and …

Belfast’s Voodoo has had some great nights of Metal since its opening and tonight’s line-up promised to dish out yet more metal mastery. Eventually after getting tuned, relatively new local band All The Kings Ashes opened proceedings with an energetic performance with all but the drummer spending some time in the …

Satan’s Hollow established as a rock club in 2000, but formerly a shipping Warehouse, was the chosen venue for Sister Sin’s opening gig of their UK tour October 2013. The dance floor, which is in the centre, doubles as a stage for gigs. I have seen bands play ‘in the …
