10 years is a long time to harbour high expectations, and unfortunately this time they weren’t met

Connor Schofield’s sunny indie pop deserved to make the transition from his bedroom to the stage

The Plan return to the UK following their first LP release since 2001

The New York titans of nineties emo delivered a poignant penultimate show

The Nebraskan post-hardcore outfit are back – and louder, sharper and angrier than ever before

All in all, an effort to be proud of from this up-and-coming London based metalcore band.

Reactions to tonight’s performance illustrate just how much TDWP will be more than welcomed back to English shores.

Mutual appreciation between band and audience make for a memorable night in Academy 3.

They may have supported rock and roll legends AC/DC in the past but how are this Irish quartet faring in the present?

West Palm Beach-based indie rockers Surfer Blood brought with them a little bit of Florida sunshine to Academy 3 on Wednesday night, as they powered through a set that lasted just shy of an hour, but for what it lacked in quantity it more than made up for it in quality.

The intimate atmosphere in Academy 3 was the perfect setting for the first appearance of intriguing new sound and beat makers, The Naked and Famous. This New Zealand-originated rock band have fused the ferocious talents of Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers to create a five-piece band with a style similar to that of MGMT, yet they differentiate with vocals to rival that of Paramore’s Hayley Williams.
