Rock Horn Events Launch Party in association with Tower Studios Pershore Headline - The Mercy House Support from - Touch, Adamantium, Fortress Rock Horn Events are a fairly new event company working in partnership TBFM Online and this was their first event in Worcester. Arrival during load in is always interesting,  the usual scene of sound checks and bands setting up their equipment, all seemingly carried ...

As it’s Saturday night in late night London we turned up at this gig fashionably late just after 7pm and missed the first 3 support acts but were in time for both of the double headliners on this package tour to celebrate the release of Crashdiet's fourth album The Savage Playground. The Academy was already pretty packed when we got in and the crowd started chanting for Jettblack about 30 minutes before the ...

I first discovered Die So Fluid on a lamp post poster in Camden and decided to check them out after feeling bereft of old faves disappearing such as Curve. I certainly was never disappointed when I listened to the powerful music behind the strong poster image. Die So Fluid commanded the stage at the 333 club with another spectacular gig which can only be described as brain blasting rock. Grog is an amazing ...

After months of waiting it was finally time to go and see Mad Hatter 2.0 play their new album 'Deconstruct' in full for the first time. The venue was The Brunswick down in Gloucester which looked like a tiny little venue on Google maps but when arriving it turned out to be a fantastic venue, great set up and lots of friendly bikers which is always good to see. When traveling to venues to see a number of ban ...

Metal God Steve Harris can do little wrong in my books so I was delighted at chance to see his side project ‘British Lion’ at the O2 in Birmingham, one of only a handful of dates the band is playing in the UK. Playing the second stage, this was a chance to get up close and personal with a metal icon, who is probably used to having a stage the size of this whole room. With a nod of the head the band swiftly ...

Playing ‘Hawkwind – The Space Ritual Alive’ Technicians of space ship TBFM this is your Captain speaking. I was only 18 months old when the original ‘Space Ritual Alive’ last voyaged the United Kingdom back in 1972. I wasn’t allowed to go at the time, parents can be so cruel. However the album that the tour left us with probably had more influence over me than any other as I grew older and it still stands t ...

An unusually quiet 30-minute trip up the A449 and before I know it I am pulling into The Boars Head, Kidderminster (formerly known as The Taphouse). Parking isn't a problem and the venue is easy to find. I found it an intimate venue with charm and character, and decent acoustics. A good little pub room at the front of the building leads into the venue itself at the back, which was ample in size for the occa ...

Hollywood Trash Sordid and Immoral EP Launch First up I want to do a shout out for the promoter for this event, Jurassic Mark has been doing an amazing job of putting on an evening of young unsigned bands every fortnight for a while now. He’s given many a band the opportunity of playing their first gig, and there’s not many that will take a punt like that. He has one rule, if you’re on the bill you sell tic ...

The first indication that this is not your usual mid-week gig is the two bloody great tour buses filling the car park and the piles of gear in the smoking area. A good turnout is usually 100 people, tonight The Heads is rammed, and I mean rammed. Vocalist Erlend has told us “ It’s great when the crowd are going crazy and are really into what we do, it feeds back to the band, although sometimes it can get a ...

It's Friday evening in Worcester, and it's cold, again. Rather predictably, the city centre is teeming with overbearingly pompous clubbers. But something is happening. A horde of metal-heads appears to be descending upon the Marr's Bar.... the event? Why it's Night of the Furies of course! First up were Paralus, who consist of Kevin Harris and Tom Blizzard (sharing vocal / guitar duties), bassist Craig Eake ...
