There can't be a person alive whose heart isn't immediately warmed by the sound of a friendly Australian accent declaring "You legend!" You'd have to be dead inside for that to not lift your spirits. At The Lower Third in Soho, Sydney mosh royalty RedHook provided a uplifting therapy session for a 250 strong capacity crowd.

ALT BLK ERA's track record so far indicates that those gathered at The Underworld in Camden were witness to the relatively early days of a culturally significant music act. With a MOBO award under their belts and their debut album hitting number one in the Rock & Metal charts, all achieved in the first couple of months of this year, signs point to a band that you will one day say, "Can you believe I saw them at a venue that small!"

HIMALAYAS’s second album BAD STAR is a record that sees the Cardiff quartet, formed in high school 10 years ago by Joe Williams (vocals/guitar), Mike Griffiths (guitar/vocals), Louis Heaps (bass) and James Goulbourn (drums), expanding far beyond the indie-rock of their first works. The band are on an unstoppable rise since the release of their debut album From Hell To Here back in 2023, achieving over 93 million streams and supporting the Foo Fighters at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium last summer.

Singer-songwriter Luke Spiller has released his debut solo album Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes And Wine, on April 25, 2025 via Big Machine. The Struts frontman steps into the spotlight as a solo artist following 13 years as vocalist with the British rock band. Spiller collaborated with producer Jon Levine (Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Drake) and guitarist/producer Jason Faulkner (St. Vincent, Air, Beck) on this 10-track record, also taking inspiration from the likes of Scott Walker, Serge Gainsbourg, Shirley Bassey, John Barry, Jacques Brel and more.

American sisters HAIM have unveiled a new song ‘Down to be wrong’, following the tracks ‘Relationships’ and ‘Everybody’s trying to figure me out’ both released earlier this year. The new release also comes alongside a highly anticipated new album announcement, I Quit, out June 20, 2025 via Columbia Records, which will be their 4th studio album, 5 years after Women In Music Pt III.

"We had a bet on how long the jackets would stay on" Ffin Colley laughed as he paused to remove a layer after only the opening song of Delaire The Liar's final show.

Upstairs at The Lexington, to a sold-out room, Ffin Colley, Em Lodge and Chaz Tomlinson, joined by Tom Pratt on guitar, treated fans to ninety minutes of the best of the band's back catalogue, from early days to the recent farewell release.

On the last night of his European leg of the Motor Tour, the Kentish Town Forum lit up with excitement as Bilmuri (Johnny Franck) graced the stage, enthusiasm at a maximum right from the top of the set.

Bilmuri is the epitome of 'Y'allternative'- not so much a genre of music, more a Midwest emo state of mind. The night began with 'EMPTYHANDED' from Bilmuri's latest of many albums; 'AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS'. (You'd better get used to these capital letter titles). The song introduced perfectly the mood of the night; a funky, punchy country-fest.

Manchester pop-punk band Hot Milk have just unveiled their new track ‘‘Swallow This’’, from their upcoming sophomore album Corporation P.O.P, scheduled for release on June 27, 2025 via Music for Nations. The new album is shaping up to be a bold, high-energy release packed with sharp political commentary, raw emotions, and punchy alt-rock vibes. The new release follows the album's lead single "90 Seconds to Midnight" unleashed earlier this year, on February 25.

In 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows' John Koenig coined the term anemoia- the feeling of nostalgia for a time that you never knew, or indeed that never even existed. Over their eight albums, The Darkness have cultivated the musical version of anemoia, dragging the listener through an uncanny valley of familiar but slanted glam rock.

This isn't the first time The Darkness have played Wembley having supported Hollywood Vampires in the arena back in 2018 and co-headlining with Black Stone Cherry in 2023. Tonight, however it is all about the enigmatic quartet and their sold out 'Dreams on Toast' album tour.
