An absolutely biblical evening was had under the Wembley Arches tonight 🍻🤘 #Oasis #OasisLive25

It would be an understatement to say I had a lovely time at Judas Priest & Alice Cooper last night 🤘 All of the emotion among the heavy metal community in attendance with multiple Ozzy tributes throughout the evening 💜

Even in spite of the heat (and BOY it was HOT), 2000 Trees once again delivered as the best festival the UK had to offer 🌲💚 Will post more in the coming days, but so many amazing memories made seeing superb bands and artists with some top mates across the four days 🤘

This time tomorrow, I'll be cracking open a can of cider in my favourite festival field with my mates getting ready to watch some amazing bands 🍻😎 Happy 2000 Trees eve to all who celebrate 🤘

The best time had at the biggest ever Iron Maiden UK headline show last night. A packed out stadium on home turf in East London. The greatest to ever do it shining in their twilight years 🤘

Rare that I go to Southampton for a gig as will never make the last train home! Stayed the night to make sure I could see Unto Others play a headline show on the touring cycle for my favourite album of 2024, "Never, Neverland". A special album from a special band 🤘🩷

Outbreak London yesterday was an absolutely lovely day with a top crew. A day of great hardcore music, topped off by a stunning set from Turnstile a week on from the release of "NEVER ENOUGH". A truly special band

The best time had in Prague last weekend seeing Iron Maiden on their 50th Anniversary tour. If you're off to see any of their shows this summer, you're in for a treat 🤘

Heavy Metal. Iron Maiden. The community that it brings together. The fucking best. Go see your favourite bands abroad - especially at Stadiums - if you can, because it kicks the ass out of the UK experience AND its a holiday Bring on the Prague gig tomorrow 🤘

The hype for the upcoming weekend travelling to see my favourite band again is reaching fever pitch Get me to Prague Get me in Eddie's Dive Bar Get me to Letnany for IRON FUCKING MAIDEN pronto 🤘

I've harped on already about how much I love "Are We All Angels", but live those songs hit the spot just as much. Scowl truly are a special band 🦋💚

As debut headline shows go, that was a bit special @weareunpeople.bsky.social are a band that deserve your attention if you love alternative music. From the riffs, to the massive catchy choruses, they just have IT 🤘 Cannot wait to see them again at @2000trees.bsky.social this summer 👤👤👤👤

With the amount of gigs I've been to and have coming up, the biggest of the year has slowly crept up on me. 24 days until I'm in Prague ahead of celebrating 50 years of my favourite band! Iron Maiden's gonna get you. No matter how far 🤘

Now, then, forever

There are times when you build up the idea of an album and how good it will be in your mind and it doesn't deliver. I am happy to confirm this is not one of those times. The new record from Scowl is simply sublime. Go listen to "Are We All Angels" as soon as you can today 🤘💚

Latest live review for Punktastic of the spectacular Knocked Loose show in Brixton last week is up! Give it a read, go listen to all the bands who are on that tour 🤘

As far as work locations go, tonight's isn't a bad one 🦁🎶

Previewing Rockinghorse Allstars V Albion Legends charity match, taking place Saturday afternoon, Woodside Road, Worthing. Read at: www.dogmabrighton.co.uk/articles/cha...

Friday was awesome, but tonight was proof that Knocked Loose will continue to crush it on bigger stages for many years to come 🤘 Outbreak London can't come soon enough to see them and so many other bands I love again.

Special night at Underworld seeing Knocked Loose tear the room apart before their *slightly* bigger show at Brixton Academy on Monday Great time spent with @groundhoppercam.bsky.social & @tomhylands.bsky.social - shoutout to the former for sorting my ticket for the show 🤘

Berlin Day 4: My run of seeing wins at Alte Försterei came to an end yesterday. Not the result that Union wanted or needed, but always the matchday experience down in Kopenick. Eisern Union ❤️🤘

Berlin Day 3: Great afternoon ticking off Ground 165 at Lichtenberg 47, some DDR sightseeing and bar hopping in Friedrichshain with @sussexstratton.bsky.social

Been back in my favourite city for a few days. One of those places where the vibe is one I love. Berlin, you never disappoint ❤️🇩🇪

Getting back into the swing of writing live reviews again in 2025 after a few years. Kicked things off with last weekend's wonderful celebration of underground metal rising to bigger stages - Green Lung & Unto Others at Kentish Town 💚💜 Go give it a read and listen to those awesome bands 🤘

However my music tastes have changed over time, The Jam remain one of my favourite bands Unfortunately never saw From The Jam with Rick on drums, but have him to thank for the many wonderful live shows I've seen Bruce play in that band. Rest in peace, Rick Buckler 🤘

For all the rock/heavy metal I love, ask me if there's a dream gig in the USA I'd ever throw silly money at to go to, there's only one answer, "Well if The Lonely Island ever decided to play more live shows..." This medley from the #SNL50 concert underlines why www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV-R...

Waking up and thinking of this again, NGL. The concentration to track the trajectory of the ball is like watching an NFL Wide Receiver run a route. But the touch to bring it under control is something else...fucking magnificent. #BHAFC

TWICE IN A WEEK OLÉ OLÉ #BHAFC

UTA 💙 #BHAFC

No one deserved to eat an L on the biggest stage than Butker, and all his teammates (yes even "Taylor Swift's Boyfriend") for defending his virulently misogynistic, anti-LGBT, anti-abortion speech about how women should aspire to be "homemakers" Makes Alan Brazil look like a choirboy in comparison.

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

Anyone who knows me knows who I'm supporting tonight. It's always ABC - Anyone But Chiefs. Go Birds, Saquon to the moon 🦅 #SuperBowl

Not a bad night at the Amex yesterday that #BHAFC

No surprise that the latest edition of @dogmabrighton.bsky.social is a sublime read as always. Doff of the cap to @swiftenburg.bsky.social for his piece on the IFR in particular. Resonates with my own view on the benefits of the regulator, but also some of its vocal detraftors #BHAFC

GOJIRAAAAAA 🖤😭 So deserved after being the best live band in the world for years and the centrepiece of an iconic heavy metal moment in the mainstream at the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony. Flag bearers for everything great about heavy, alternative music 🤘

Might be my first game at the Broadfield in 20 years this. Long overdue return visit to watch Albion Women at home #BHAFC

Time to see if the many hours watching @taskmaster.tv have made me any good as a contestant!

Want to keep track of my favourite new music in 2025 better, so planning to post a graphic/playlist at the end of month feat my favourite singles, albums and EPs. Calling it "Sick Spins" because always needs a catchy name! Here's January's highlights 👇 open.spotify.com/playlist/2vn...

What a sight after a superb win vs Boreham Wood. So much is clicking right now, we are absolutely contenders to win the league this year. Long way to go, but the belief is there. Up the Worthing ❤️🐟

Jim Nantz said on live television an hour ago that the Chiefs knew the Bills sneak Josh over the left guard and the Bills apparently don’t have anyone watching the broadcast because they keep doing it and are 0-for-3

Another gutting Play-off loss for the Bills. Comes down to Joe Brady being out thought by Steve Spagnuolo in 2nd half IMO Went to 4th & short tush push call one too many times when Chiefs had it scouted. Going away from run/not using James Cook on that final drive at 29-32 was awful playcalling.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Apologies for getting a bit political on main tonight. I think this cartoon sums it up.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Ground #163 - Portman Road A massive three points on the road at Ipswich. Superb second half performance from the lads. Not bad that as a Thursday night goes UP THE ALBION 💙🤍 ##BHAFC

Quick reminder that Paul Barber wrote this in April on scrapping FA Cup replays: "Whilst they are typically well-supported and can be valuable for smaller clubs when they do occur, it’s undeniable that many replays are far less attractive and do not capture the imagination of fans in the same way."
