Sunday night was the third time I’d seen Theory of a Deadman, having previously seen them open for Alter Bridge and Black Stone Cherry, and I’ve always thought they were good but that the short time a support act gets held them back from showing how good they really are.  …

Friday night in Glasgow saw the much awaited headline show from local boys Afterlife, almost exactly a year after I first saw them open for Bonafide at the Cathouse.  That gig marked the last gig I ever went to without earplugs, as I was deaf for four days afterwards.  This …

@planetmosh reviews Human by .@threedaysgrace on .@RCARecords Human is the fifth studio album from Canadian band Three Days Grace, released in the UK on April 27th.  In some respects though it can be seen as a debut, as they relaunch themselves with a new vocalist.  In some cases band members can …

Last night Rival Sons returned to Glasgow, only three months after their last gig here.  Back in December they played to a full O2 ABC, and this time around they made the step up to the bigger O2 Academy.  It was a typical miserable day, freezing wind, torrential rain and …

Friday night in Glasgow was miserable, wet, raining and freezing cold, but none of the almost 2000 people who turned up to see Halestorm even noticed with some of them already forming a queue when I arrived at 5pm, two hours before the doors opened.  I was there to interview …

On Friday night Wilson opened up for Halestorm at the legendary Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow.  Before the show singer Chad sat down for a chat with me about their new record deal, touring, and Full Blast Fuckery.  Then we did a funny face selfie and he went off and did …

Back in December when The Cadillac Three were last in the UK I was most upset when I didn’t get the chance to see them, so I was really excited when I got the chance to go along to the Cathouse in Glasgow on Thursday night to finally catch up …

Last night I had the chance to sit down for a chat with Jaren, Neil and Kelby from The Cadillac Three.  During the interview we talked about haggis, Slash, the new Peace, Love and Dixie EP and how I’m their new favourite interviewer.  The Cadillac Three tour is sold out, but …

@planetmosh reviews Frantic by .@gunofficaluk Back in 1996 I went to my first ever stadium gig, Bon Jovi at Ibrox, Glasgow.  A few things stick in my mind from that day.  The intro to Lay Your Hands on Me being played by a pipe band, the entire Glasgow Rangers squad …

Karen Sneddon from Planetmosh interviews Dante from Gun.  Q. It’s been a busy few months for Gun. You did a three night residency at King Tuts in November. It’s not the biggest venue but it’s one of the most iconic. How did it feel to fill it three nights in a row? …

@planetmosh reviews Live with the Curse by .@edenscurse A while back I reviewed a “live” album that sounded like it was recorded in a pub in the middle of nowhere on a wet Tuesday, attended by one man and his dog.  It was awful.  If you’re going to produce a …

I was expecting to go to a gig on Saturday night and hear some ballsy riffs and psychedelic wails from Monster Magnet.  I was not expecting to witness the second coming of the Messiah, but as Dave Wyndorf sang a miracle occurred.  The sick were healed, and the crutch that had …

@planetmosh review Versive by .@versiveofficial. Versive are a four piece alt-rock band from Dublin, Ireland who have recently released their debut EP, also called Versive.

When Damon Johnson and Ricky Warwick were writing their previous album, All Hell Breaks Loose, they were unsure whether it was going to be a Thin Lizzy album or something else, something that rose from the ashes of Lizzy.  This time around, and with a couple of years of playing as Black Star …

@planetmosh reviews Pornograffitti by .@ExtremeBand on .@UMC and .@Polydor Lots of things happened in 1990.  I started secondary school, Italy hosted the World Cup, which was won by West Germany, the last time a divided Germany would ever compete, and Extreme released Pornograffitti.  On February 9th they’ll re-release it to celebrate …

@planetmosh reviews Holding all the Roses by .@blackberrysmoke on .@EaracheRecords Holding all the Roses is an American term meaning you’re the winner. It’s an appropriate name for this, Blackberry Smoke’s fourth studio album, as this band is fast becoming the one everyone else in the Southern Rock genre is chasing. …

On Tuesday afternoon I had the chance to interview Phil Campbell of The Temperance Movement before their sold out gig at Glasgow’s O2 ABC. He was so excited to play his homecoming gig and while he probably had loads to do to get ready he was more than generous with his time, …
