Little Bribes kicked things off at a surprisingly busy Rock City Basement. It’s always nice to see a local band doing so well, and even better when they’re actually really good.

Live Review: The World is a Beautiful Place… + mewithoutYou (Birmingham, 12/02/16)
Here’s a great co-headline tour. Two giants from the US emo scene playing the smallest room at the O2 Institute in Birmingham while Sum 41 headlined the big room downstairs.

Album Review: Edgarville – Fingerprints & Handwriting
Fingerprints & Handwriting is an incredibly strong and engaging debut album from two-piece band Edgarville from Blackburn. It’s almost hard to believe the album is built up mostly by two musicians; we’re almost only hearing vocals, acoustic guitar and drums, yet the perfected production of the album gives a full band feel. The album can […]

Band Spotlight: Better Weather on regrouping, trumpet and American Football comparisons
After a year out Better Weather have returned to the UK DIY scene to grace us with their music. A blend of indie/emo consisting of poetic lyricism performed harshly without withdrawal and the welcoming tone of a trumpet, which sits warmly atop their intertwining melodic bass and guitar riffs. Seeing Your Scene caught up with the […]
