It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since the release of the seminal "Bleed American". What is harder still to believe is that for a band who were arguably at their most potent 10-12 years ago, most of those crowd now anxiously waiting for them were...

Thrice appear to be getting better and better with every album released. Major/Minor is their seventh studio album and certainly follows that upwards trend: the follow-up to 2009’s Beggars may well be the Californian quartet’s best yet. The thing that strikes you immediately is how remarkably honest-sounding this...

Leeds Festival is often a surreal but wholly colourful place as darkness descends on site. As brightly coloured fairground rides cut through the blackness of night and dance in the night sky, calling out to festival goers to try out their nerves and stomachs on rides whose indignation of the...

Imagine the scene. The first afternoon of the festival and the colours on Main Stage were fast descending from glorious greens and blues to all shades of grey and brown. Then lead singer of The View, Kyle Falconer, slurred that it was not actually raining. Wonder what all the umbrellas...

Having become real cult favourites over the past ten years with their unique mix of pop-punk, rock, metal and hip-hop stylings, Zebrahead provide a totally fun and uplifting party atmosphere on the Sunday afternoon of Hevy Fest.

UK hardcore with some serious metal riffage thrown in; you can hear Impact's influences (Agnostic Front, and Pantera amongst them) oozing from this heavy duty slab of nastiness. With their hardcore-punk attitude surrounded by meaty guitars, this lot aren't messing about.

Opening straight away with the heavy stuff, the EP begins...

With their third studio set, arriving just 16 months after their second, Kids in Glass Houses have completed their evolution from youthful punks worthy of keeping an eye/ear on to bona-fide mainstream successes. The Welsh quintet’s previous two LPs â€" 2008’s Smart Casual and 2010’s Dirt â€" each...

Portugal. The Man’s sixth album is also its major label debutâ€"a fact that is notably striking, mostly because it’s unclear why record labels have taken so long to hop on this bandwagon.
