Earlier this week Seeing Your Scene took the train ride to Bridgend’s most-esteemed venue, Hobo’s, in Wales to catch the first night of Gnarwolves’ tour (and their first show of the year) with main support from Boxkite and tonight’s openers, Concave. Welsh four-piece Concave are bringing the ‘emo revival’ to Wales. Featuring members of the hardcore […]
Their Facebook description reads as “sad noises from Ireland.” The Attic Diary’s private seclusion of identity is clever in the fact that it made me want to listen to them even more. With who they are in mystery, you can only focus on the music and the words: a feat that can be pulled off by […]
A sublime release of melodic punk by Cheltenham’s I, The Lion; the Run EP is ready to be met with success. Having toured aggressively since forming in 2010, I, The Lion have shared stages with the likes of Gallows and DZ Deathrays. Their hard work is finally paying off – the Run EP will solidify […]
What I love about the British punk scene is its depth in variety. When I scour the internet (more often than not: Bandcamp) for hidden gems I almost always find myself pleasantly surprised. Not because of the amount of thriving bands and artists touring up and down the country or the amount of EPs and […]
On Sunday’s Punktastic Festival in Cardiff, we sat down and had a chat with Thom (vocals/guitar) and Charlie (vocals/bass) from Gnarwolves about playing bigger venues, their new record and backstage jacuzzis. You recently just released your debut album. What was the initial reaction from the public? Thom: It’s our first time touring the UK since we released […]
The first ever Punktastic Festival ripped the heart of Cardiff a new one and left the knees of the city trembling throughout the night. Taking place on Sunday evening, the two floors of Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach were heaving with young and excited fans. Although the three acts on the ground floor – Constructer, Falling […]
If you like Brand New and Manchester Orchestra, the Exeter three-piece Black Foxxes are sure to grab your attention. With post-punk melodies woven with a Nirvana-esque lyrical style, the upcoming Pines makes me think of Brand New’s The Devil and God are raging Inside Me (2006) – especially songs such as “You Won’t Know”. Opening […]
Twelve years is a long time, especially in something that is constantly evolving such as the music industry. But emo veterans The Jazz June have taking to the fresh waters of the new school with their new album After the Earthquake like they haven’t been out of the game at all. 2014 has been a […]
Whirr and Nothing have perhaps released one of the best split records of the year. Formed in 2010 by Nick Bassett (guitarist for Deafheaven and also part of Nothing), Whirr focus on the shoegaze fuzz set by giants like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive with a heavy heart. Their darker, more distorted vision of shoegaze sits […]
Ahead of their excitement to be playing to crowds around the UK and Europe with Joyce Manor and Cheap Girls, Great Cynics are releasing a double a-side single, Lost & Found / Wet Feet limited to 50 cassettes on the 3rd November through Radio 1 Presenter and DJ, Jen Long’s, label, Kissability – which the pre-orders have […]
