The Kerrang! Tour this year was a lot of fun. The bands were amazing and it’s always fun to meetup with the rest of the K! gang when we’re all off duty.

I reviewed the Main Stage at the more recent Hevy festival. There were some fantastic bands including Four Year Strong, Funeral For A Friend, We Are The Ocean, and punk veterans Capdown. I remember getting on Capdown’s guestlist when I was 15 years old and thinking that it was all downhill from there, thankfully not the case. Photos by Mr Chris Casey, one of the nicest, most talented guys that I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

This is one of my favourite reviews that I’ve done for Kerrang!, not only was the show great, but the photos (by the talented Mr Ian Collins) could not have tied in any better with the copy. It was Motionless In White’s first ever Kerrang! review and they’re on the cover this week.

Reviewed The Bled’s final show after an illustrious 11 year career on the road. Amazing band, amazing show - fittingly there was blood everywhere and plenty of scuffles with the bouncers.

A flyer from a show in Hollywood with one of my Kerrang! quotes on it. I love coming across this sort of thing, nice to see my writing getting out and about in the world.

The Kerrang! Awards are usually the highlight of the year for me. Getting drunk with your childhood heroes is not always a good idea though.
