Opinion

Tonight’s gig at the Union Chapel was the second ever show for Devin Townsend’s Casualties of Cool project, and one of only two UK dates.  They couldn’t have chosen a better venue – as the name suggests, it’s a church, and it’s an all seated gig – perfect for relaxing …

Things didn’t look promising when I arrived at the venue shortly before the doors were due to open – just 4 fans waiting. Happily by the time the support act came on the numbers had grown, but not much – there were still only a couple of dozen fans there, …

.@mtrcd @JungleRot, Cryptopsy & Disgorge show at @AudioGlasgow reviewed by @AnybodyBC for @Planetmosh It has become the tradition to have at least one neck-cracking metal gig at the beginning of each week of the week. The first week of September was not the exception. This week it was Cryptopsy who …

Ahead of the release of their second album, Planetmosh asked Corpus and Ladyhell from the Belgian band Lovelorn Dolls a few questions…. First of all, for anyone not familiar with Lovelorn Dolls so can you tell us a little bit about the band? Corpus : Yes of course.  We are …

Hung Like Hanratty supported Slaughter and the Dogs at Warehouse 23, Wakefield last month. I didn’t get chance to interview the bands on the day but here are some questions I put to them by email afterwards. Find out a bit more about them, the inspiration for their songs etc. …

On the night of the 30th of August at the Banshee Labyrinth in Edinburgh six bands came together to give the mighty Bonesaw a fitting send off after 14 years of playing. Over the years Bonesaw have recorded; two demos, a debut album Sawtopsy, as well as four split EPs …

Tonight’s gig was either sold out or close to it, and it’s hardly surprising with a band like Hellyeah playing.  Of course you wouldnt have known it was a sell out if you’d turned up to watch the opening band, Gravil. Gravil have been on the whole tour with Hellyeah …

While we spoke to a lot of bands both signed and unsigned at Bloodstock, we were unable to manage to speak to all the up and coming  bands who played the New Blood stage, so have been catching up with the ones we missed to see how they enjoyed their …

Saturday night was a very different Planetmosh experience.  Quite often we go to gigs alone, as photographers or reviewers, and don’t have anyone with us to share the experience of a gig with, to review it with over a drink afterwards, and to remember it with later on.  This time …

Canadian band The Agonist announced a new singer, Vicky Psarakis, following the departure of Alyssa White-Gluz to join Arch Enemy.  The band have just completed a UK tour and with their new album due out later in the year, I took the opportunity to speak to the band in the …

When any band is regarded as truly innovative at a certain moment in musical time, the main question which must surely come back to haunt them, nigh on a generation later, is whether or not they are still as relevant and their innovation as impactful as it was ‘back in …

On Saturday night I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing The Graveltones just before their gig at Stereo in Glasgow.  It wasn’t your typical interview, barely a question was asked, but they went away knowing some new Scottish words, and I went away with a pain in my side from …
