Fingerprints & Handwriting is an incredibly strong and engaging debut album from two-piece band Edgarville from Blackburn.

I’ve been on tour in mainland Europe twice now and it’s like a whole different world of gigging, particularly from a band perspective.

The incredibly named, and sounding, melodic hardcore band, Wank for Peace, from Angers, France are calling it quits. We were lucky enough to put them on in April at JT Soar, and they played an amazing show. The band are playing one final EU tour throughout December, and two final shows in their hometown early […]
