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.

Grunge Isn't Dead. Meet untitled

Nu grunge from LA. Apparently, it’s a thing. And if untitled. are anything to go by, I’m all for it.

Starsailor at the London Palladium: 25 Years of Love Is Here and Still Giving Me Goosebumps

Twenty-five years after its release, Starsailor brought their brilliant debut album to the London Palladium, playing it in full with a string ensemble. And what a fucking beautiful night it was.

Warrior Soul: Still Pissed Off. Still Fucking Brilliant.

I've been flying the flag for Warrior Soul for more than 30 years, and I'll never understand how this band didn't become absolutely massive.

Yachtley F*cking Crew

Last week the world’s number one yacht rock band played London for the first time ever. Not “first time in a while.” First time, full stop. UK debut, Seas The Night tour, O2 Academy Islington. And I’m telling you now, it was the most fun I’ve had at a gig all year. I’ve seen a lot of gigs this year.

Rufus Does Judy: one last night of magic at Royal Albert Hall

Rufus Does Judy at Royal Albert Hall, on Judy Garland’s birthday, performing the iconic 1961 Carnegie Hall concert for the final time in London.

That original Judy at Carnegie Hall album has always carried its own kind of mythology. It captured Garland at full force: fragile, funny, wounded, glamorous, defiant and completely in command. More than sixty years later, Rufus Wainwright took that impossible thing and made it his own, first as a love letter, then as a full-circle piece of theatre, fandom and survival.

Butcher Babies, Infected Rain, and the joy of over-the-top, hook-heavy metal

I’ve always thought Butcher Babies were more interesting than they sometimes get credit for. They sit somewhere between scream-heavy modern metal and almost-pop songwriting. Big choruses. Massive hooks. Huge production. Songs built to kick the door in, then land the chorus like an 80s arena-rock band with better breakdowns.

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.

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.
