Cambrensis men’s apparel brand from South Wales are in the process of putting out their latest line in defiant fashion and what better way to mark the occasion than gathering together some of the region’s best under-the-radar rock’n’roll talent for a sweaty night of festivity at Cardiff’s Moon club? We admit to not catching theContinue reading “Cambrensis launch gig -Stone Deaf, Interum, New Found Freedom – The Moon, Cardiff – 11th May 2024”

The K’s – Tramshed, Cardiff – 12/04/2024
There’s a powerful sense of victory in the air tonight. Since the incredibly huge response their debut single ‘Sarajevo’ gleaned back in 2017, The K’s have spent the intervening period slogging their hearts out around the UK’s small venue circuit, living on the breadline and, as frontman Ryan Breslin alludes to later on in theContinue reading “The K’s – Tramshed, Cardiff – 12/04/2024”
Black Foxxes – Le Pub, Newport – 29/09/2023
For the past couple of years Black Foxxes have been working feverishly away on the follow up to their 2020 darkly enchanting self-titled album, embarking on a crowd funding journey for fourth LP ‘The Haar’. Record complete, the Exeter indie-grunge trio announced a solitary show at Le Pub in Newport (later adding dates in LondonContinue reading “Black Foxxes – Le Pub, Newport – 29/09/2023”
Vona Vella – The Louisiana, Bristol – 26/09/2023
Playing the cosy upstairs room at Bristol’s The Louisiana has been a rite of passage for up-and-coming bands for many a year, with an abundance of the UK’s, even the world’s, greatest groups tramping their way up the skinny staircase from the innocuous downstairs pub to perform their wares in the upstairs, dimly lit, dreamContinue reading “Vona Vella – The Louisiana, Bristol – 26/09/2023”
Trampolene, The Gulps & Ratoon – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff – 03/02/2023
Wales has had a severe vacancy for too many years. Since the Manics and Stereophonics got comfortable filling arenas and Super Furry Animals split, Wales has badly needed an exciting, young, new band of national treasures. The latest contenders for the title have rocked up to Clwb Ifor Bach tonight for one in a stringContinue reading “Trampolene, The Gulps & Ratoon – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff – 03/02/2023”
Spyres & Sterling Press – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff – 13/10/2022
Only a smattering of onlookers stand waiting early doors at Clwb Ifor Bach this evening, so we’re guessing that word of Sterling Press hasn’t yet reached Wales’ capital but we assume this won’t be the case for long. With three punchy single releases to their name and a few UK tours, the Liverpool-based four pieceContinue reading “Spyres & Sterling Press – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff – 13/10/2022”
Andrew Cushin – Exchange, Bristol – 11/10/2022
Andrew Cushin’s first solo headline tour has already seen the Newcastle songwriter play a string of sold out dates across the UK and tonight he’s bringing his feast of perceptive rock’n’roll energy to the Westcountry’s first city. The spirit of Cushin’s music is summed up by the support acts on offer tonight, the first beingContinue reading “Andrew Cushin – Exchange, Bristol – 11/10/2022”
Cast & The Gulps – The Tramshed, Cardiff – 03/06/2022
Although tonight’s show is billed as Cast playing the whole of their classic debut nineties album All Change to commemorate the LP’s 25th anniversary, a notable gig in itself, your reviewer here is equally as excited to check out It’s Creation Baby’s most tipped signing The Gulps live for the first time as he isContinue reading “Cast & The Gulps – The Tramshed, Cardiff – 03/06/2022”
The Others – The Grace, London, 30/04/22
Twenty years have passed since mid-00s London scene favourites and NME cover stars The Others got together and set about making their mark on the musical world. To celebrate the fact that they are still very much still in existence and filled with as much life as ever, tonight’s gig sees the band break anContinue reading “The Others – The Grace, London, 30/04/22”
The Libertines – Giddy Up A Ding-Dong Tour – Cardiff Uni 19/02/22
You join us on Day 2 of Storm Eunice in Cardiff. Day 1 was characterised by 88 miles per hour winds, Day 2 sees the equally blustery rock’n’roll force of The Libertines ‘Giddy Up A Ding Dong tour’ blow into the city. Cheesy figures of speech aside, there is an air of relief around tonight’sContinue reading “The Libertines – Giddy Up A Ding-Dong Tour – Cardiff Uni 19/02/22”
