Another year and another sold out Rockwich Festival to review but this year we are at the Witton Albion Social Club, Northwich. It’s a very welcome change of venue and an acoustic evening of bands on Saturday preceded an electric day of thirteen bands in twelve hours today organized by …

Brit alt rockers TIRADE drop their stunning new EP, Nothing Dramatic, tomorrow. The band have also just released a video for the single, Burned Out – https://youtu.be/14z3UesMDAQ . We caught up with the guys and grilled them about their background and more:   What is the full band line-up, who …

HRH Sleaze comes to Sheffield for the third time next weekend. A few of the PlanetMosh team will be attending and have put together a playlist. A few bands are playing who aren’t on the playlist yet – suggest a track (which is on Spotify) and we’ll add it to …

Since I’ve started reviewing gigs for Planetmosh I’ve got to experience quite a few different clubs. Nothing however could have prepared me for what I was confronted with when I strolled up to Satan’s Hollow in Manchester to see After the Burial. A small side street entrance led me into …

Once again I’m back at a place that feels like home – Catton Hall, or to be precise, Bloodstock festival. It’s my 11th year here and every year it just feels like it’s not been a year since I last left. The Thursday is always a fun night of catching …

I have lived close to Chester all my life but have never been to the Live Rooms to support live music until tonight. Should I be forgiven? I’m not so sure. But yet another cracking little venue is now edged in my head and I will definitely be going back. …

Here we are for soggy Sunday! Sadly the last day of Bloodstock Open Air Festival 2019 where (most of) the bands delivered. First band up on the New Blood Stage at the eye rubbingly time of 10.30am were Leicester based tech metal crew Fractions. They created a swirling metal vortex …

Mother Nature must have got out of the wrong side of bed today as the wind hit harder than the after effects of a prawn vindaloo, so much so that the Ronnie James Dio Stage was shut down and cordoned off for about an hour later on in the day. …

Music wise, 2019 was my favourite Bloodstock Open Air Festival I’ve attended in the last eleven years, weather wise it was the worst as mother nature tested the mettle of the metalheads but came out in second place to a packed out Catton Hall in Alrewas, Walton-On-Trent. First band of …

Planetmosh spoke to Oscar Dronjak at the end of June to talk about the new album, Dominion, due for release on 16th August 2019    

I spoke to Skye and Matt at Download not long after they played a superb set there.  It was a bit chaotic especially when Matt decided to chase after one of the guys from Clutch mid-interview, but life is never dull with these guys.  

The first band of the day for me was Sweet Crisis, opening proceedings on the Blues stage. It’s only a quick visit before I had to head off to see another band, but what I heard sounded very good with a mix of classic and modern influences. Definitely a band …

For me, Saturday at Ramblin Man started with a quick trip to the VIP area to see Bad Touch doing an acoustic session for the VIP ticket holders. They’d got a big crowd and their short set sounded great. Over on the Prog stage, Israeli band Scardust were the first …
