Situated off the beaten track, the courtyard outside the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham is certainly one of the few places I don’t mind queueing to get into a show. With a few benches, umbrellas with patio heaters and the public bar everything adds up for a relaxed atmosphere leading up …

It’s sunny in Wales this morning.  Yeah, you read that right, sunny.  Not that it particularly matches the disposition of your PM team, as they battle against non-existent mobile signals in vain attempts to track down the extremely long list of artists we’re supposed to interview… But, whilst there are …

It was a very unique era of debaucherous legend, the embodiment of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, so who wouldn’t want to emulate that. Sleaze/glam rock is one of those love it or hate it genres in the rock world and one that is making a resurgence thanks to countries like …

Tucked behind Camden’s Electric Ballroom is a funky little venue called The Stillery, where the lovely folk at Spinefarm Records had invited Planet Mosh for the worldwide album premiere of Finnish band Santa Cruz’s second album, for which the band themselves only received the master copy four days earlier. The …

Buoyed-up by the energy of youth, and packing some serious guitar fire-power, Santa Cruz will be returning to the UK for a one-off headline show, confirmed for the 17th November at The Barfly in Camden Town, North London. Says Archie Cruz, Santa Cruz frontman:- “It’s been quite a while since …

@louelladeville_ @planetmosh review of @santacruzband and @voodoosix @soundcontrolmcr Thursday thirteenth, not Friday, but still the thirteenth. Unlucky for some but not unlucky for the Rockers of Manchester as we got to see two quality bands playing at Sound Control, Santa Cruz and Voodoo Six. Today’s show was on the ground …

@planetmosh reviews Obliviation by .@sevendeadly1 out on 23rd Feb I’ve been waiting on this bad boy for a long time. I didn’t quite realise that Seven Deadly’s Allegiance EP was released as far back as May 2012 but to be fair to the guys they have been working hard at …

Alter Ego on Princess Street, Manchester was the basement venue where tonight’s bonfire night gig was taking place. Consisting or a warren of rooms with a bar to the left, as you enter, and a stage to the right, with the only access to the stage being across the dance …

The wolf pack head out on their Wolfsnächte European tour, establishing their dominant position within the power metal genre. Tonight is their only UK date at the famous Underworld venue in London. German band Majesty kicked the night off. Manowar style metal can be a bit cheesy (ok very cheesy at …

  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 …

At present this EP release feels like it is from a young band who still need to find their own groove and own mark of originality in what is an already very crowded genre. They have the potential here, that is without question.

Flamenco-metal is what we have come to enjoy tonight, but not before we have taken the time to check out the other three bands on tonight’s bill at The Garage.   First up are Seven Deadly, a melodic thrash metal band. There are some familiar faces of metal in this …

Since the sad end of Panic Cell in 2011 it’s been quite amazing watching the phoenix like birth and growth of Seven Deadly online, driven in particular by Bobby T as he documented and entertained us with the creation of this new band with former Panic Cell members Harj Virdee …
