If you ever feel little down, there is this American crazy rocker team, you could turn to. Just add Electric Six to your playlist . This band formed in 1996 and reached mainstream success with the “Danger! High Voltage” and “Gay Bar” singles in 2003. Ten years have passed since then …

There have been a few bands this year I have reviewed who seem to capture the feel and sounds from an eighties era I grew up in and know so well. In Faith’s debut “There’s A Storm Coming” is such an album that does so with a high degree of …

English metal rockers Threshold return with their 10th studio album ‘For the Journey‘ on Nuclear Blast Records. Threshold while being an English band are relative new to myself as their popularity is mainly across the channel in mainland Europe where their albums do chart in various countries national charts. I …

On 3rd November, German band The BossHoss will release the album ‘God Loves Cowboys’ to coincide with their appearance on Motörhead’s UK tour.  If you’ve never heard The BossHoss before then you’re unlikely to be expecting a band that’s quite so unique to be supporting Motorhead.  Their music can best …

This year’s Damnation Festival marks ten years of extreme metal chaos at Leeds University. Hard to believe it has only been ten years. There have been many interesting line ups for this fest and a few surprises over the years (namely Carcass when they had their “last ever re-union show”) …

The 10th Damnation festival (which is already totally sold out!) is coming up rapidly and so in very few days the marathon of metal in Leeds will begin. Many visitors will go there for at least one of the headlining bands – Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse or Saint Vitus. Some …

Bloodshot Dawn have just completed the three-date Irish leg of their tour supporting their just-released second album, ‘Demons’ (reviewed here:  http://planetmosh.com/bloodshot-dawn-demons/).  Following the third and final night in Belfast, your intrepid PM interviewer ventured into the rather chaotic dressing room to share a beer and a chat with the band’s …

Something I’ve always tried to do when going to a gig is to see the support acts. I’ve been surprised quite a few times that in some cases the supports were just as enjoyable as the main band. Triosphere are one of these bands for me. Almost 6 years since I …

I have frequented the Bierkeller in Bristol on many occasions for both their club nights and their theatre productions, but I had never been to a gig there until this particular night in question. I was also very aware of how hot it could get inside the venue itself, but …

It’s been a few years since the southern rock sixteen wheeler has rolled into Dublin and hot on the heels of Blackberry Smoke playing two weeks ago, their heavier cousins Black Stone Cherry returned to The Academy with their Magic Mountain tour featuring special guests Theory Of A Deadman. Opening …

We can all remember when female fronted bands were the band du jour for record companies. A lot of the bands were record label copy cats essentially. Like the hair metal scene of the late 80’s early 90’s there were a lot of strong bands that were caught up in …

I will admit I’m not au fait with Greece’s musical contributions aside from Firewind and that Iced Earth recorded a live album there many years ago. So a stoner groove laden rock band called Planet Of Zeus piqued my interested when it’s latest release “Vigilante” was up for review. Opening …

We don’t celebrate Sundays? What’s not to celebrate when Nashville Pussy are in town?! I’d heard great things about this band so I was more than happy to head into Manchester for a Sunday gig at The Roadhouse, a small basement venue on Newton Street, conveniently near to Manchester Piccadilly …

Junkstars were first up, a young Swedish band. They got a slightly mixed reception – while quite a large percentage of the crowd clearly enjoyed their set, it was noticeable that there were others who weren’t keen, possibly because of the punk edge to their rock music.  I personally enjoyed …

It’s a busy Friday night in Glasgow, and I find myself on Sauchiehall Street lined with hundreds of restaraunts serving food from around the world, trendy wine bars and fantastic shops. But none of these things interest me this evening. The mass of bodies snaking away from the from door …
