I was surprised to discover that Larkin Poe have yet to feature in a Moshville Times review. Larkin Poe are two sisters, Rebecca and Megan Lovell, and they took the band name from their great-great-great-great-grandfather (a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe no less!). They have released seven studio albums so far and Bloom will be their … Continue reading Album Review: Larkin Poe – Bloom

Gig Review: Paganfest ft Ensiferum / Týr / Heidevolk / Elvenking – O2 Academy, Edinburgh (17th January 2025)
This was the night every power metal fan in Scotland had been waiting for, a lineup of epic proportions that promised an unforgettable evening of soaring melodies, thunderous riffs, and larger than life performances.

Gig Review: The Halo Effect / Pain / Bloodred Hourglass – Slay, Glasgow (22nd January 2025)
I can't believe it's over three weeks into 2025 before I caught my first live show. At least I made it a good one with a very strong lineup, and at a nice venue with good sound. It was icy cold outside in Glasgow, but once down the steps unto the underground bunker that is … Continue reading Gig Review: The Halo Effect / Pain / Bloodred Hourglass – Slay, Glasgow (22nd January 2025)
