Live Review: Sampa The Great
"[Sampa The Great]’s cohesive sound pulled from far and wide."
Live Review: Regurgitator, Shonen Knife, The Fauves
"[T]he band pulled no punches."
Live Review: Marlon Williams, The Weather Station
"From haunting, theatrical ballads to swinging rock'n'roll, emotion was delivered with every word."
Live Review: Polaris, The Plot In You, Ambleside, Tapestry
"Polaris have kicked new life into the heavy realm."
Live Review: Statues; Life Pilot; Emecia; I, Icarus
They have these backing tracks all through their new album and since they didn't have them they decided not to play a lot of tracks from the album. Which resulted in a more bare bones show, which I'd was heavier, more raw."
Live Review: COG, Introvert, iiah
"An encore would've been a bastardisation of this perfect set."
Live Review: Leprous, AlithiA, Dyssidia, Colibrium
"Solberg never broke the act, never missed a note as he commanded the audience like a priest in a dark cathedral, arms raised through the green wash."
Live Review: Architects
"Singing an octave lower than usual, emotion drove Carter's lyrics forward as the band continues to present Tom's legacy."
Live Review: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Lonelyspeck
"... It seemed almost cultish as he led the audience from calculated chaos into breathtaking choruses."
Live Review: Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox
"From Charleston to Dixieland, half-time to double-time, staccato to sustained notes, there was nothing the performers couldn't handle."
