Skynd: True Crime Music that Will Haunt You

Who knew true crime could be a genre in music? Well, it is, and in the hands of Skynd, it’s seriously impressive.

Ear-Bleeding Glory: Slade Still Owns the Night

This is billed as the Final Tour. While the road eventually claims everyone the music heard tonight certainly does not sound ready for retirement. Based on the power of this performance it does not need to be the end. Dave Hill proved that the noise is still very much alive.

Reef at Shepherd’s Bush: Raw, Loud, and Glorious

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly thirty years since Reef dropped their debut in 1995. For me, Glow was the gateway — the record that introduced me to Reef while I was still living in the States. But Replenish was the one I went back to. The raw one. The record that captured a young band ready to tear through walls with riffs and swagger.

Long Live the Pumpkin: Helloween’s 40 Years of Pure Power

German power metal legends Helloween stormed into London’s Eventim Apollo for their 40th anniversary tour and left no doubt that they’re still the kings of the genre they built. This wasn’t a nostalgia act cashing in. This was a masterclass. Forty years on, they sound sharper, heavier, and hungrier than ever.

The Young Gods Prove the Future Never Ended

Forty years in, The Young Gods still sound like they’ve hacked the future. Formed in Switzerland in the mid-80s, they rewired the idea of what a rock band could be. Instead of guitars, they built songs from samples and loops. Instead of chasing trends, they carved their own path somewhere between noise, beauty, and chaos.

Warrior Soul and Spread Eagle at the Underworld

Some nights at the Underworld feel like stepping into a living shrine to hard rock, and this was one of them.

Eighteen Visions – Obsession 20th Anniversary at Kentish Town Forum

Eighteen Visions tore through Obsession at the Kentish Town Forum like no time had passed. The crowd was ready from the first note of the title track, fists up, voices already gone.

The Chameleons at the Electric Ballroom: shadow, shape, and staying power

The Chameleons at the Electric Ballroom on 14 November felt like a band walking out of the fog with purpose. New album tour shows can sometimes lean too hard on proving a point. This one landed like a statement, but with warmth. The newer material sat comfortably next to the classics, not as “and now for the new stuff”, but as part of the same emotional architecture. It was tight, muscular, and weirdly uplifting for music that still knows how to bruise.

The Saints: Still Stranded, Still Dangerous

I missed The Saints the first time around. Bob Geldof once said they basically invented punk rock, which always felt like typical Geldof hyperbole until I saw them at the Electric Ballroom last week. Now I get it.

Make your photos stand out from the rest

Making great portraits of people, whether they’re a bride & groom, rock star, cute kid, sports personality or celebrity, is a huge part of what I do.

About capturing moments you’ll want to remember forever

Wheatus, the pop geniuses often overshadowed by their iconic hit “Teenage Dirtbag,” recently graced London with a spectacular performance. It’s safe to say that the world needs to appreciate their musical intricacies more.

Live Music

The Return of Rival Schools

In 1993, I stumbled upon an advanced copy of Quicksand’s “Slip” featuring the standout track “Fazer.” The band, often likened to Helmet and Fugazi, distinguished itself with superior songwriting.
