First up tonight were King King, a blues rock band who have won the Best band award at the British Blues awards two years running – impressive stuff for a band that has only been around for a few years.  Taking to the stage in Kilts, they make it clear …

After two and a half days of hard rocking music, Lawnmower Deth were charged with closing this year’s Hard Rock Hell with their set on Stage 2.  Given that their stage time was not until 1.45am they had a little time free for interviews beforehand and I hope you’re sitting …

A cold Friday at the end of November finds me back in the Cathouse in Glasgow for the UK leg of Michael Monroe’s Horn’s and Halo’s world tour, but the temperature doesn’t matter when for my money you have one of the best front men in the rock scene at …

Currently in the midst of their fourth European tour Canadian band Striker have finally made their way to the UK for the first time and Hard Rock Hell 7 was their penultimate show before heading off to mainland Europe.  Being new to our shores Planetmosh took the opportunity to find …

Tonight’s gig was supposed to be headlined by Bristolian gore merchants Amputated, but unfortunately the brakes on their hired tour bus failed as they travelled to meet the ferry, and therefore the band were forced to cancel a gig for the first time in their 11 year history.  Nevertheless, promoter …

Arrived at Sound Control for a promising night of metal mayhem. Doors supposedly at 7pm, hence arrival time 7:10pm to find the shutters down. After a couple of walks round the block and about 30 minutes stood trying to shelter from the rain, someone finally got round to telling the …
