Glaswegian metallers MAIR have been on the go since 2010 but have already been making waves in the local metal scene in their short life together.  We managed to catch up with them straight after their performance at the Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses final in Glasgow that saw them …

Saturday dawned bright, but not so early (I do need some sleep) and brought with it a busy day indeed.  The day kicked off gently with a local breakie and then heading over to the main stage at 12.15 for Bull-Riff Stampede.  Having seen their set on the New Blood …

There are many things I like and one of them is going to a festival for the first time. In its second year Les Fest, it wasn’t completely brand new but this fledgling festival is still definitely the new kid on the block. It was also the second time I …

It was the last day of what was a truly fantastic weekend of rock and metal and Les-Fest once again came to life early doors both on the main stage and the acoustic stage. I felt in need of a bit of R&R myself as Sunday morning arrived so the …

At a first glance, tonight’s lineup seems like Deja-vu – Hornet, Titans & Kings, and Mia Klose playing together.  The reason for that is that they played together just four months ago at the Barfly.  Tonight’s lineup though sees Driven added to the bill for this, Hornet’s album launch gig. …

  I reviewed Vega’s second album ‘What The Hell‘ released via Spinefarm Records, for Planetmosh back in March of this year. What I heard then was a pure revelation to these old ears. Since then I’d been waiting patiently for the opportunity to see the guy’s playing a live gig …

You couldn’t go to Les Fest and not chat to Achren who played a fantastic set on the Friday.  We grabbed Scott (vocals) and Quzzy (drums) to talk about many weird and wonderful things including how Scott got the job of vocals, blood metal verses battle metal and being impaled …
