Current rock darlings SPRINTS are touring the release of their critically acclaimed debut album “Letter to Self” and tonight they’re at the legendary King Tut’s.
In support are Venus Grrrls, a goth incarnation of Riot Grrrl from Leeds. Lead singer Grace Kelly has a powerful voice and the comparison to the long list of metal bands with strong vocals comes to mind but Venus Grrrls never really cross the line into metal and seem to be carving out a distinct Goth Grunge genre with witchey-themed songs and a punk sound. The band is coming back to Glasgow in September to play the Garage and is well ..read more

To experience Pendulum live is to know how it feels to exist as a mere satellite, orbiting a sun in a singular distant galaxy, in an endlessly expanding universe; or, as a voiceover announces during one part of their set, it is “the sonic recreation of the end of the world”.
The genre-defying Aussie rock juggernaut never fails to impress with their explosive live performances and there was no exception made for Easter Sunday in Glasgow. The band lit up the OVO Hydro with floor-to-ceiling video displays and a dazzling laser light show to match the mammoth scale of their sound, making the arena ..read more

Johnny Marr was inducted into the Barrowland Hall of Fame today and seems pretty pleased about it, telling us he’s now up there with the likes of Iggy Pop and “that Oasis guy”.
But it’s about time, considering the influence the guitarist, songwriter and producer has had over the years. Gracing the stage of this iconic Glasgow venue three times in the mid ‘80s with The Smiths, Marr co-wrote some of the greatest songs of that decade, his guitar arrangements and riffs as memorable as Morrissey’s melodramatics. Well, almost… Of course, The Smiths were just a starting point and he has since w ..read more

Opening act KAETO captivates the crowd with an ethereal look juxtaposed with a new wave/ indie/ alt pop / electronic, whispery and screamy slow sound. I’m not exactly sure what to call it!
You can expect the unexpected with KAETO and her strong stage presence and unique, sweet and slightly raspy voice. I don’t imagine it will be very long until the band will be selling out the Barrowlands themselves!
KAETO
New Jersey boys BLEACHERS make their great return to Glasgow, playing a sold out Barrowland ballroom and they did not disappoint. Frontman Jack Antonoff expresses his gratitude toward ..read more

Celebrating their now 2 week-old 2nd album “Where’s My Utopia?”, the hardest working post-punk act around Yard Act returned to Glasgow for the 3rd time in 3 years to play the 02 Academy.
Support tonight is New York’s Art Punk outfit, Gustaf. The opening song 2 part song “Here Hair / Hard Hair” almost feels like a joke on the audience, the slow and lingering buildup may have got some of the unsuspecting audience worried this was going to be more art than punk but a few minutes later and just as the audience start clapping the end of the song it explodes into a riot of noise. Lead singer Lydia h ..read more

Shoegaze is enjoying a renaissance of late for both the original bands from the 1990s and those that they have inspired to follow. Two of the latter, Brooklyn’s DIIV and Hull’s BDRMM offered a mouth-watering line up in Manchester and Geoff Shaw was there for Resound Online.
Visits by DIIV (pronounced Dive) from across the pond are always more than welcome and this whistle-stop nine-date visit to Europe with UK shows in London and Manchester are no exception. Formed back in 2011 initially as a solo project for Zachary Cole Smith, the band has evolved over the course of three albums—wi ..read more

The Stone Roses inspired Liam Gallagher to start a band…and the rest, as they say, is history. But as the first gig of his tour with former Roses guitarist John Squire kicks off at Glasgow’s Barrowlands to celebrate their newly released no.1 album, I can’t help but notice a teeny weeny bit of reserve and awe in Gallagher’s normally unflinching demeanour.
Don’t get me wrong, the swagger’s still there but there’s not the same level of sweary dramatics, Gallagher perhaps acknowledging how he got to be here in the first place…then again it could be a case of Squire’s chilled approach having ..read more
