Incubus at the Astoria

Hello everyone! How you doing. I haven't been on here for a long time.. sorry.. I have just been so busy at work! Metal Hammer is going OK, but we have to put 2 issues together before Christmas - which is pretty tight! The new issue of Hammer goes on sale next week, will make a post about all the details of that soon!

Anyways, I went to see Incubus at the Astoria in London last night. The lovely Mr Daniel Carter was there as well with some of his chums, as was my buddy Arya who drums in Skindred. He had come all the way up from Exeter with a friend to watch the show, so he was expecting something special.

Was it special? Hmm. Not really. Not in my eyes. The band are obviously great musicians, and very talented.. but they have been doing this for years, and you would expect nothing less. I was just disappointed that they didn't move about the stage very much.. and Brandon (singer) almost seemed shy!! The place was packed full of squealing girls (that's not to say that I don't think he's rather handsome).. but the place was filled with sqeaks anytime he even glanced up at the audience! Ha ha.
I left after about one hour.. once I had noticed that they weren't gonna play much of their older/jazzier stuff that I love so much. Anyways.. it was still fun :)
And from today begins the best run of gigs in a long time..
Friday: Bullet and As I Lay Dying in Cambridge
Saturday: Cancer Bats and Alexisonfire at Brixton
Sunday: Exit Ten and Sylosis and Outcryfire in High Wycombe
Monday: Slayer and Lamb Of God in Brixton
Wednesday: Unearth and Hatebreed!!

Comeeee onnn!!!!!!

See you there xx

Hello all!

Hello everyone,
hope you are all well and dandy. Bloody Hell, I haven't been blogging for a while as I have been soooo busy at Metal Hammer putting together our new issue. I have also been going to loads and loads of gigs (Skindred, Enter Shikaria, God Forbid, Centurion, Aiden etc), and haven't had one mo to think about anything!
So, here is a little update.
First off: there is a brand new Rock Show on Radio One, with a brand new presenter. The show will now go out on Monday nights at midnight, until 2am - presented by the awesome Daniel P Carter. I have known him for a few years, and he is a proper great guy. You may know him as being the bass player in 'A', and also a member of The Lucky Nine. Find out all about the new show, and make new friends with us all at the Rock Show MySpace Page.
In other news, I went to see Breed 77 last night at the Underworld in London. I had previous travelled to the band's native Gibraltar to interview them, so thought I would pop along. They were really, really great, and I think that you should all go check them out, as you will be pleasantly surprised. Here is their website, their MySpace and a photo of the band:



Until next time: rock on!!!

God Forbid in London Town!

Hey everyone.. long time no post/chat/blog etc..
Thought I would upload a quick message about God Forbid. I have just got back from their gig at the Mean Fiddler in London.. It was totally amazing! They are playing as part of the Hell On Earth Tour II.. along with bands like Maroon and Cataract.
They are one of my fave bands ever. So, so good. I even got dancing a bit.. and had a little bounce around in the pit! ha ha. Here is a pic of the great band themselves....




If you want more info about the band check out: their website or their label's site or the tour's site.
