Blacktop Mojo’s maiden voyage to the UK last year felt ridiculously improbable. When Burn the Ships released and they went viral with their cover of Aerosmith’s “Dream On”, it was the exact sentiment I had on the basis of them ever coming over. By the time I reviewed their self-titled album in the middle of … Continue reading Gig Review: Blacktop Mojo / Brayden Stewart / Gorilla Riot – O2 Institute 2, Birmingham (9th April 2026)

Gig Review: Smash Into Pieces / Enemy Inside / Dark Divine – Garage, Glasgow (4th May 2026)
The last time that I think Smash Into Pieces were in town was in November 2023, when I had another engagement and the gig was covered by Kristal and Jack. I wasn't going to miss this return visit in a larger venue, and after the release of their rather good ArmaHeaven album (review here). The queue for … Continue reading Gig Review: Smash Into Pieces / Enemy Inside / Dark Divine – Garage, Glasgow (4th May 2026)
Gig Review: Dragged Into Sunlight / Vacuous / Plague Pit – Slay, Glasgow (3rd May 2026)
It's a daunting prospect writing a review for a Dragged Into Sunlight gig. The enigmatic band's live set, performed bathed in smoke, with their backs to the crowd while under pulsating lights, is the stuff of legend.

I must confess I didn't know any of tonight's acts before seeing them, but I believe that just … Continue reading Gig Review: Solence / Dream State / Written By Wolves – Cathouse, Glasgow (30th April 2026)
Gig Review: Calva Louise / Knife Bride – Garage Attic, Glasgow (1st May 2026)
Seeing Calva Louise at The Garage Attic in Glasgow felt less like a standard gig and more like stepping into their own strange, cinematic universe…and I cannot tell you how packed it was! I’ve been to a few sold out shows in the Attic but this one was so damn busy even for the support … Continue reading Gig Review: Calva Louise / Knife Bride – Garage Attic, Glasgow (1st May 2026)
