Incredible new release day for me today. Two bands that mean so much to me releasing live albums. If you need me I’ll be devouring these.

Svalbard // Slay - Glasgow // 19.11.25

Conjurer // Cathouse - Glasgow // 15.11.25

Drowning Pool // Garage - Glasgow // 10.11.25

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Spineshank // Garage - Glasgow // 10.11.25

Well this was a rather great surprise this morning.

Deafheaven // Slay - Glasgow // 06.11.25

So Deafheaven were absolutely incredible tonight. Possibly gig of the year

Pendulum // Corn Exchange - Edinburgh // 01.11.25

I’m a bit late to the party but that new Conjurer album is nothing short of absolutely incredible, eh?

Bless this band, truly. @pallbearerdoom.bsky.social

Killswitch Engage // O2 Academy - Glasgow // 15.10.25

Blood Incantation // Garage - Glasgow // 09.10.25

I wrote an article for @theskinnymag.bsky.social moaning about how much of a failure I am as usual! Please consider giving it a wee read 👇 www.theskinny.co.uk/music/opinio...

One last time. An incredible film in One Battle After Another for my final visit to Cineworld Renfrew Street. Had to have one last trip to the top for the view. If you count it up I’ve easily spent weeks of my life in this building and I’m going to miss it dearly. Farewell old friend.

MOVIE EXEC: So your idea for a superhero is a guy called 'Candleman' and his catchphrase is 'There's no rest for the wick head'? ME: Yep! HIM: Get out.

The new song from Blackshape is absolutely sublime. Been on repeat since release yesterday. They were a surprise introduction last year (cheers @elmote.bsky.social ) and I’m really looking forward to this new album.

This band will always manage to make me smile, every tune is guaranteed to be stuck in your head for days! Plus @michaelmisrubbish.bsky.social is a a lovely guy too!

The man certainly had his issues but I am absolutely devastated about this one. Crack the Skye is such an important album to metal music. Awful news

Never a truer thing said. We are not built for this!

Saw Whiplash for the first time the other day at a 10th anniversary screening and thought it was fantastic!

Show me 4 games that made you a gamer in your childhood. I still quote Abe’s oddyssee to this Day. Playing Alien 3 all those moons ago explains a whole lot too really!

This is an essential listen. Some of the most beautiful music I’ve heard in a while. Departure songs is an absolute favourite album but this might just be greater. Blood Will Have Blood is an astounding closing track, I cannot recommend this enough.

Dethklok // O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire - London // 21.06.25 @dethklok.bsky.social @brendonsmall.bsky.social

Party Cannon // O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire - London // 21.06.25

In today’s edition of things I never thought I’d get to see.

Lonely People with Power by Deafheaven is an absolutely phenomenal album and this closer is stunning. Genuinely an album of the year contender for me this one.

Seconding this. This is an absolutely wonderful bit of post metal greatness. I can’t stop listening to it.

Go on then

This is a sore one. Absolutely gutted to see the end of one of my favourites. 💔

Oh go on then.

Happy Doom The Dark Ages launch day to all those celebrating! Is it going to consume me once again? More than likely.

Saw Million Moons last night and was absolutely won over immediately. Gave both their albums a listen today and they are absolutely fantastic! Some beautiful instrumental post rock that’s well worth your time

Hidden Mothers // Nice N Sleazy - Glasgow // 10.05.25 @hiddenmothers.bsky.social

Codespeaker // Nice N Sleazy - Glasgow // 10.05.25

Million moons // Nice N Sleazy - Glasgow // 10.05.25

PlayStation The Concert // OVO Hydro - Glasgow // 25.04.25 @playstation.com #playstationtheconcert

Seconding this LOUDLY. I would once again like to repeat - We may be in customer service but we are people too. In the words of William Murderface - Don’t be a Dick be a Dude

A controversial choice I’m sure but here’s my pick for Alien Day 2025.

One day I will walk past Paisley Abbey without admiring the Xenomorph gargoyle. Today is not that day though.

A bargain to be honest!

Once again @nyazem.etheirys.social very on brand with my Easter greeting this morning. Dude gets me 😂💜

Hey if this turns up in your feed and you like stuff like Oathbreaker, Thrice, Holy Fawn, Manchester Orchestra, Envy, Radiohead, Poison The Well, Hot Water Music, Pianos Become The Teeth, Converge, Birds In Row, Deafheaven, O'Brother etc then you should go listen to our album.

Go on then, I’m Curious

Heriot // g2 - Glasgow // 09.04.25

Really heartwarming to see one of your closest friends of 30+ years out there living their dream and then get to talk to @eurogamer.bsky.social about how they got there 💜 www.eurogamer.net/from-virtual...

Flow was absolutely beautiful. Such a wonderful piece of animation and well deserving of all the praise! I’m such a sucker for realistic water in animation and I was not disappointed. See it on the biggest screen you can. Absolutely well done @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and the team!

Wardruna // SEC Armadillo - Glasgow //25.03.25

I’ve said it a thousand times and I’ll say it a million times more. Weird mood? Mariner.
