Concert Review: Lzzy & Joe – Raw, Real and Unplugged at The Garage, Glasgow
Some gigs are all about spectacle. Towering stage productions, blinding lights and walls of amplifiers. Others strip everything back and remind you that great songs don't need any of that. Lzzy and Joe's opening night of their UK unplugged tour at Glasgow's Garage was exactly that – an intimate evening built on incredible musicianship, storytelling and the unmistakable connection they've built with their fans over the years.

Concert Review: Warped Tour DC 2026
This festival was chaotic in the best way possible. Everyone was so eager to see the set times unveil at 11. So many people lined up to see if the band on their shirt was playing today. The scramble of last-minute planning what stage you’ll be at when brought us back to the carelessness we had as kids.

Concert Review: Lakeview Bring Southern Rock Firepower to King Tut's Glasgow
There is something special about seeing a band on the rise in a venue like King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, and this show Lakeview show felt exactly like that.
Before the headliners took the stage, Dundee rock outfit Red Vanilla did a fantastic job of warming up the crowd. Their fantastic set quickly got people in the mood and set the tone perfectly for the night ahead. By the time they left the stage, the crowd was ready and waiting for what was to come.

Concert Review: Dexter and the Moonrocks: Western Space Grunge Loves that Iowa Corn w/ High June and Fox N Vead
Dexter and the Moonrocks played at Woolys in Des Moines, I.A. June 11th, 2026, to a sold-out house. Joined by supporting bands, High June and Fox N Vead. Together these bands blur the lines between genres like country, southern rock, grunge, and folk in a magically unique way.
The show opened with High June, a high energy, five-piece band from Eastern Carolina. The type of energy they bring to the stage you'd be hard pressed to believe they're an opener.

Concert Review: The Kid LAROI at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, Irving
Friday night in Irving had that buzz you only get when a crowd shows up early and stays loud. The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory filled in fast, and by the time the lights dropped you could tell this was a young, all-in crowd that came to scream every word.

Concert Review: They Might be Giants at The House of Blues in Boston, MA
A terrific night of music – an exceptional show…is how I would describe They Might Be Giants performance at the House of Blues in Boston. The sold-out show was phenomenal.
For me, a good live performance is when the band knows their audience and plays to their audience and not for themselves. They Might Be Giants were exactly the model of band that I adore to see on stage. The connection between the band and their devoted fans was visible.

Concert Review: Kelsy Karter and the Heroines with Grace McKagan at Antone's in Austin, TX
he Aussie/Brit band Kelsy Karter and the Heroines stormed into Texas—literally, thanks to severe weather in Dallas on night one of their three-city stop of The Pleasure Tour. I caught up with them on their Austin date at Antone's.
Kelsy brought along opener Grace McKagan, who is no stranger to the stage. She’s been performing since she was 15 and is probably best known as the frontwoman for the punk-grunge band The Pink Slips. Grace and her solo band took the stage promptl

Concert Review: Fit For a King with Invent Animate, ten56. and Acres at Manchester Music Hall in Lexington, KY
After touring the entire month of May, “The Lonely God Tour” made its final pit stop in the heart of Lexington, Kentucky. Nearly two decades into their career they are at the top of their game bringing their tried and true flavor of metalcore we’ve all grown to love from them. Continuing to ride the high off their latest album; they packed Manchester Music Hall where not only attendees but even venue staff were reciting every word at their top of their lungs.
