REVIEW – PAINT IT BLACK

Posted by simon On September - 2 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

@ Manchester Moho Live, August 31 2010

Fresh from blistering sets at Reading and Leeds Festival Paint It Black returned to more intimate surroundings as the Philadelphia hardcore punk band rolled into Manchester’s Moho Live.

Moho provided an excellent venue for the night’s entertainment – with very little security around and no gap between artists and fans!   Read the rest of this entry »

MIND BENDING

Posted by simon On August - 14 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

If 2010′s already shaping up as a vintage year for unexpected aural pleasures then one release has got everyone at rushonrock HQ more excited than most.

Our sneak preview copy of Zodiac Mindwarp’s first new studio album for five years has been enjoying constant rotation ahead of its September release.

And the original Tattooed Beat Messiah looks like he’s warming up nicely for back-to-back supports with old buddy Alice Cooper around Halloween. Read the rest of this entry »

REVIEW – DWARVES

Posted by simon On August - 12 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

@ Newcastle The Cluny, August 11 2010

The Cluny is a swarm of activity as skinheads, Doc Martins and Mohawks gather for some of the finest punk music that is left in the world.

The paying customers sport what seems to be a who’s who of band t-shirts ranging from Tiger Army to Social Distortion to Winnebago Deal.  But they are all here for Dwarves.   Read the rest of this entry »

OZZFEST OVERLOAD

Posted by simon On August - 10 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

The one-off London o2 Arena event is gathering pace with new Roadrunner signings Revoker another of the new names added to a bill featuring Korn, Skindred and the man himself, Ozzy Osbourne. Read the rest of this entry »

REVIEW – GUNS 2 ROSES

Posted by simon On August - 7 - 2010 1 COMMENT

@ Newcastle o2 Academy, August 7 2010

Going for the line-up circa 1991 – the Use Your Illusion era minus Izzy Stradlin – headliners Guns 2 Roses swagger their way on stage to the intro of It’s So Easy.

Gilby Clarke, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagen get a warm welcome but Slash, as ever, steals the moment. Hidden behind a mass of curls and boasting the trademark top hat and low slung Gibson, the only things missing are a smouldering Marlborough red and a bottle of JD to complete the look.

FREAKS CAUSE CRASHES

Posted by simon On August - 6 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

The freakiest folk from across the UK are lining up in their thousands to take part in two special Alice Cooper shows inked in for Halloween. And the demand has caused alicecooper.com to crash time and time again this week!

The shock rocker has invited weirdo hopefuls to audition for his groundbreaking Halloween Night Of Fear shows – already featuring the Jim Rose Circus and old pal Zodiac Mindwarp.

But the Coopster is keen to see as many crazy folk as possible bid for the chance to join him at London’s Roundhouse in October – with auditions taking place at the London Dungeon on Monday. Read the rest of this entry »

REVIEW – NOT ADVISED

Posted by simon On August - 5 - 2010 1 COMMENT

@ Newcastle o2 Academy II, August 4 2010

Heading out on their first ever UK headline tour you would forgive Not Advised for being a bit nervy and not knowing what to expect.

But the Southampton five-some delivered a highly professional performance.

Even more impressive was that they managed to put on such a show without lead singer Jim Thomas who had to sit out the tour after damaging his larynx a week prior. Read the rest of this entry »

TOUR PENDING

Posted by simon On August - 3 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

With tickets for Pendulum’s Immersion UK arena tour flying out of box offices the length and breadth of Britain we thought we’d ramp up the expectation levels by bringing you a taster of what fans can expect before Christmas.

A stunning Sonisphere show under their belts, and with Leeds/Reading sets to follow, the dance rock kings continue to go from strength to strength. Read the rest of this entry »

HIGH VOLTAGE: HIGH LIGHTS – THE ANSWER

Posted by simon On August - 3 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Main Stage, July 24 2010

Finally freed from the grip of the AC/DC juggernaut, The Answer can get back to doing what they do best – whipping crowds into a blues rock frenzy by firing off retro cool anthems right, left and centre.

Last year’s heroic stint on the Rock N Roll Train may have opened up Ulster’s finest to millions of potential fans and ensured the band has gained a strong foothold in the US market. But their hectic schedule somewhat overshadowed the release of UK Top 25 record Everyday Demons and that album deserves a decent airing between now and the band’s next trip to the studio.
