Documenting the madness

If I hadn’t seen the time, I'd have thought we arrived halfway through Spacey Jane 's set on Friday. The upper tier was grooving, pockets of excitement were bouncing throughout the crowd like a pan of water on the cusp of boiling and this was the opening song. There was no time

It was back in 2014 when my heart was filled with adoration for Skream. Back in the Sheffield days where hundreds of people would party in a house with multiple ‘rooms’ with sound systems bigger than most official venues. He’d played at a crazy club called Fez that was so notorio

I'll never be able to sit down and think as I used to after what can only be described as the most magically serendipitous weekend in Mexico City for the Corona Capital festival. I'd say I don't usually describe my life as a ferocious whirlwind, but I do. However, it's often in r

There’s a funny thing about indie gigs. All day you’ll be telling your friends about this cool new band you’re seeing in a nice intimate venue and they’ll ask who it is. “ Lime Garden ” you reply to be received with a blank-faced “ah, cool”. But once you’ve battled the punching w

Like a seven-year-old grasping desperately onto Christmas, Sorry have extended spooky season with their headline show at Electric Brixton. For the conclusion of their UK headline tour, crowds of misfits in their fingerless gloves, berets and mullets joined forces for one final (m

It was one of those nights. The venue seemed full already, yet groups of people still filtered into the crowd like water into sand. As such, I was forced to pitch up by the back bar (definitely forced, promise) which, to be fair, allowed me to overhear everyone eagerly guessing w

There’s an energy in the air tonight. Y’know, that buzz that comes around when a collective of indie kids discover a DIY indie band from the states and want it to be their secret. But it’s no secret when hundreds of them pack into the Omeara and the body heat has you questioning

It’s Christmas Day. You’ve woken up at 12 pm to a flashback reel of being obliterated and stealing baubles from the tree at your hometown pub, much to the disgust of your old school friends you’ve not seen since the same time last year sat quietly in the corner likely discussing

When the video intro to Tame Impala melts into a chaotic, perpetually reverberating feedback and you question if it’s your brain- you know you’ve pushed it too far. Our second day at All Points East was another success. I’ve said it already and I’ll say it again, this year’s over

*Time freezes* It’s been a while since I’ve been drenched in beer. Some might say too long, most will say it should have never happened again, but here I am in the middle of a raging mosh pit about to shove an innocent lad over. *Time resumes rapidly* A lot has happened in lif

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a sell-out show and really felt it. KOKO became a beehive last night as stragglers at the back were desperately trying to find any viewing point from the packed out venue. Yet, despite it being chock-a-block, it was a serenade of beautiful ind

“Give it up for the future” yells Miles Kane speaking of Brooke Combe following their rendition of Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits after she opened his show in Roundhouse Camden - and he’s not wrong. Combe packed a wrecking-ball-dropped-from-the-top-of-the-Shard energy from the
