Ah Barrowlands. A legendary venue and one that so many bands want to play, instantly recongiseable from photos from the square panels in the ceiling! Tonight it is playing host to some bonkers pop-punkery as Punk Rock Factory continue their journey up the venue ladder. Opening and keeping people going between sets is DJ Sean … Continue reading Gig Review: Punk Rock Factory / The Bottom Line / Sean Smith – Barrowlands, Glasgow (13th February 2026)

Gig Review: Preacher Stone / Revenant – Bannermans, Edinburgh (3rd February 2026)
Well, it's the second night in a row at Bannermans, but a different pace tonight with some good old Southern Rock n Roll from headliners Preacher Stone and touring support Revenant. The Revenant boys open up with the first two songs from last year's Best Medicine EP, starting with "Public Service Announcement". It’s a real … Continue reading Gig Review: Preacher Stone / Revenant – Bannermans, Edinburgh (3rd February 2026)
Gig Review: Lucie Sue / Facepalm – Bannermans, Edinburgh (2nd February 2026)
Here we are back at Bannermans for rising French rocker Lucie Sue on her first UK headline tour for last year's album, Battlestation. First up, though, we have touring support from Facepalm, a young three-piece from Leeds.

Gig Review: Lorna Shore / Whitechapel / Shadow of Intent / Humanity’s Last Breath – O2 Academy, Birmingham (9th February 2026)

Gig Review: Motionless in White / Dayseeker / Make Them Suffer – Hydro, Glasgow (5th Feb 2026)
Motionless in White returned to Glasgow to kick off their Afraid of the Dark tour at their biggest ever Scotland show at the OVO Hydro. Playing this venue is a huge achievement for the band, as their last Scottish performance was played to a sold-out crowd at the O2 Academy in 2025, which has a … Continue reading Gig Review: Motionless in White / Dayseeker / Make Them Suffer – Hydro, Glasgow (5th Feb 2026)
Gig Review: Sleep Theory / The Pretty Wild – SWG3, Glasgow (8th February 2026)
Here's that stuck record again - I didn't know either band on the bill tonight until very close to the gig. Our photographer Angela wanted to cover the show so I volunteered to do the review. Then unfortunately Real Life (tm) got in the way at the last moment and Angela couldn't make it! Fortunately … Continue reading Gig Review: Sleep Theory / The Pretty Wild – SWG3, Glasgow (8th February 2026)
