Tonight was planned to be the first of many things for me: a new venue, three new bands I had never seen before, and watching Mark Shelly work for a change. We were both invited to this tour, and I decided to take the opportunity to watch bands from a genre I normally wouldn't listen … Continue reading Gig Review: Igorrr / Master Boot Record / Imperial Triumphant – Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London (22nd October 2025)

Gig Review: Metal 2 The Masses Heat 4 – The Jericho Tavern, Oxford (9th Mar 2024)
First and foremost, the following review is not from myself, I cannot and will not take any form of credit from this. The credit has to go to the lead vocalist of Stone Soup and fellow host of Manic Monday’s Radio Show on Moshville Radio, Paul. Not only has he taken up the mantle and … Continue reading Gig Review: Metal 2 The Masses Heat 4 – The Jericho Tavern, Oxford (9th Mar 2024)

Gig Review: Metal 2 The Masses Oxford Heat 1 – The Jericho Tavern, Oxford (3rd February 2024)
It has been a fair few months since attending last year's final and, had it not been for a friend's birthday, I doubt I would have returned to this old stomping ground that almost felt like home last year.

Gig Review: Rabidfest – The Bullingdon, Oxford (4th-5th November 2023)
Well, it has been quite some time since writing my last review after Oxford M2TM competition has ended with such an amazing final, I found myself without many events planned.
