I think that most hardcore kids can agree that this year’s line-up wasn’t nearly as good as the one from 2013 or 2014. However, I’ve come to know Ieperfest as a more-than-music-festival, and that’s exactly what I enjoy most about it. Each year friends from all over Europe (and the world) gather in this tiny … Continue reading

In 2013, Trapped Under Ice announced an indefinite hiatus so their band members could focus on new projects such as Turnstile and Angel Du$t. But last Friday, the legendary Baltimore band make its return to European shores. They played their first show of a short Euro-run at 013 in Tilburg, supported by No Turning Back, … Continue reading
Last night, Defeater played at De Effenaar in Eindhoven, The Netherlands with Break Even and Kids Insane. Nous was kind enough to send over some pictures for you to enjoy. So, enjoy! Pictures by Nous Davidse – Flickr Continue reading
On Sunday, Together Festival landed in Eindhoven, The Netherlands with a killer line-up: Gorilla Biscuits, Modern Life Is War, Touche Amore, Miles Away and GWLT. I hate being the cynic, but what was supposed to be an energetic stagedive-filled show, turned out to be a rather dull matinee happening. GWLT from Munich, Germany opened up … Continue reading

Their vocalist seemed to have had a rough Saturday night as he struggled through their set which, don’t get me wrong, was pretty decent. For the crowd it was a Sunday afternoon too. Although the attendance … Continue reading

Yes, the bands arrived over an hour late, and yes people started to get a little grumpy, but HOLY SHIT what a good show. Forced Order nailed it and played a bunch of tracks off of their … Continue reading
So I’ve been cruising around London since Thursday night with my buddy Max Horn from Baronxbones. It’s been great escaping the weekly workflow and replacing sitting by the computer with hanging out, eating great vegan food, drinking craft beers and roaming around new parts of London that I haven’t seen before. On Saturday night we went … Continue reading
Last Saturday, another great edition of Smashfest took place at Capsloc in Capelle a/d IJssel. Anchor from Sweden, Rolo Tomassi from the UK and Ashes from Belgium played amongst a great local line-up that included All For Nothing, From The Heart, Run Like Hell and Mary Fields. The 101’s, Oakheart, The Right Notes and Note To Amy played acoustic … Continue reading
Rude Awakening and Suburban Scum are currently on the road in Europe, destroying every venue that gets on their path. Both bands are touring Europe for the first time and it was a pleasure to finally see both bands kill it at Extase in Tilburg (NL). New local band Life Trap opened up and left a … Continue reading
