The Callous Daoboys have been going from strength to strength over the last few years, with 2025’s release raising them to near-legendary status. The album was on so many people’s "Album of the Year" lists, and for good reason — it’s an insane blend of genres which elevates simple mathcore to something even more fun … Continue reading Gig Review: The Callous Daoboys / Knives / Love Rarely – G2, Glasgow (24th February 2026)

Gig Review: The Exploited / Face Up! / Violent Solution – La Belle Angele, Edinburgh (December 2025)

For my first Moshville Times gig review, I picked a band that isn’t usually in my wheelhouse - Wet Leg’s second night of a sold-out two-night run at Glasgow’s O2 Academy. Supporting act Faux Real start things off with a bang. The American-French duo energetically worked their way through 40 minutes of art-pop and techno-driven … Continue reading Gig Review: Wet Leg / Faux Real – O2 Academy, Glasgow (24th November 2025)
