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 […]

Sunday Notes – 22/2/15
I’m nearing the end of crazy whirlwind UK tour with Furrow; who have been consistently excellent night after night. Support in each place was different. One of the stand outs for me was Glasgow trio Breakfast Muff, who were really superb. The dynamic of their live performance was kept on its’ toes as each member […]
A Weekender With: Like Home, Nevermind Me, Water Canvas and Pushing Daisies
Four of the best bands in British DIY punk came together to do a weekender from the 12th – 15th February. Done independently, each band put on a show in their hometown for all of the bands to play including Southsea, Bristol, Brighton and Basingstoke. The bands all brought something slightly different to the tour, showing […]
Album Review: Corporate Hearts – The Shreds
Corporate Hearts have contributed an article for our website before, about their local scene in Philadelphia.

Sunday Notes – 15/2/15
This week I’m on tour with Furrow – as this is published I’ll be headed to Power Lunches in Dalston to do probably my biggest gig to date. It’s all a little scary, but really exciting. Touring spoken word is a little different to a straight forward band tour – often promoters aren’t interested, or don’t perceive […]
Album Review: Happy Diving – Big World
Nowadays, I almost immediately trust anything associated with the label Art is Hard Records. I’ve picked up a few items here and there from them, and they’ve put on some pretty great shows in Brighton, where I live. My purchase of Happy Diving’s Big World has yet to tarnish that blissful perspective. The album is […]

EP Review: Marko Greyhound – Demo
Marko Greyhound is a folk-punk artist from Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia. Macedonia isn’t a country which is exactly well-renowned for its punk scene; in fact this amazing wikipedia page lists just one solitary artist. Marko’s demo EP is a great start. The thing that stands out the most is, regardless of a language barrier, the […]
