 Resin Interview
Bloodstock Open Air Festival 7th-10th August 2014
As you are now hopefully aware of, I am personally interested in promoting great new, small, unsigned and independent artists and bands that larger publications won't give the time of day to. Not only do FATangel Management (Angel isn't fat by the way)... |

Balls Deep Interview
Bloodstock Open Air Festival 7th-10th August 2014
It's hard to believe that the last time I saw Balls Deep was at Rock & Metal Circus Festival a year ago, it has gone so quickly. This meeting might not have happened either but when 'Phil Campbell's All Star Band' had to cancel their appearance at Bloodstock Festival, all the bands on the opening Thursday... |

Dirty Lions/Shouting Signals
The Rock Den, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK 28th June 2014
I don't even feel like the ink has dried on my last Rock Den review but here I am, ready to do it all again! Before I start this month though, I hope you don't mind me saying something that I think needs to be said and please bear in mind this is my opinion not that of anyone else at the venue!
Dean, as Promoter, and the team work extremely hard to bring the best possible evenings of music...

The Rock Train on Siren 107.3FM Presents.....
Iron Knights, Lock Up Laura, JD & The FDCs and Agent
Rock Haven Rock Bar, Lincoln, UK 31st May 2014
It's always a pleasure to visit, as a punter, or play a gig at 'Rock Haven' in the centre of Lincoln, UK and I've done both, it's a great little venue with knowledgeable and friendly hosts and crowd, open till 2am and it's always free entry!... |
Gaskin/Southbound
The Rock Den, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK 17th May 2014
Doesn't time fly? This already should have been my fourth trip to The Rock Den but, thanks to illness in March and the gig in April being cancelled due to red tape, I'm actually only going back for the first time since February, however, it certainly doesn't feel like three months! With the clocks now changed and evenings... |
Stampede/Neverworld/Toledo Steel
The Rock Den, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK 22nd February 2014
When Dean Charles Archer, the main man behind 'The Rock Den', got in touch with me recently, via Facebook, to ask if Brutiful Metal Radio and I would be interested in promoting the venue and also to attend and cover the monthly gigs we jumped at the chance! Since Dean started this venture back in... |
Exit State
The Salutation Inn, Nottingham, UK 8th November 2013
When I saw that Exit State were playing 'The Salutation Inn' in Nottingham it was a no brainer! I already know what a great live band they are after seeing them support Nightvision a few weeks ago and 'The Sal' is a venue I have been to on a number of occasions before and always enjoyed myself. This gig should also have been the... |
 Slam Cartel - Interview Rock and Metal Circus Festival Saturday 21st September 2013
I am still amazed that covering one festival can introduce you to so many fantastic people and new music. Knowing that you're not just watching but also writing about what you've seen and then getting the chance to interview some of the acts really focuses your mind. I may be getting on a bit now but I'm... |
 Black Acid Souls- Interview Rock and Metal Circus Festival Saturday 21st September 2013 A few days before attending the Rock & Metal Circus Festival I did some research on Black Acid Souls because, up to that point, they were a new name to me and I knew I would be interviewing them! I don't know if it was a good or a bad idea that I did that because, as I found out (and you will too) you never know what is going to happen! They are a great band and put on a... |

Nightvision (Final Gig)/Exit State
The Venue, Sleaford, Lincolnshire, UK 28th September 2013
If you are aware of what has happened to Nightvision in the past year then you'll understand why I found this a difficult gig to attend and also why this review has been tough to write. For those that do not know, Dean Hocking, Nightvision bassist and brother of drummer Daryl Hocking was tragically killed in a car accident last Christmas. Dean was an exceptionally gifted player... |
Rock & Metal Circus Festival, Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, Bromsgrove, UK
Sunday 22nd September 2013 (Day Three Part Two)
Here we go then, we were on the final run of bands leading up to the conclusion of the first Rock & Metal Circus and I'll leave a few thoughts until the very end!
Up next on this second mammoth day of action were Balls Deep from Stoke-On-Trent, UK.... |
Rock & Metal Circus Festival, Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, Bromsgrove, UK
Sunday 22nd September 2013 (Day Three Part One)
Waking up early on a misty Sunday morning I made a trip to the outside toilets to discover that was where most of the crane flies appeared to be resting. It was like walking into an Alien breeding area on the 'Nostromo'!! (I know, I watch too many horror and... |
Absolva Feature
The Rock & Metal Circus Festival 20-09-2013
Having only been formed in May 2012 It has been an incredibly busy but fruitful fifteen months for Manchester, UK based traditional Heavy Metal band Absolva. With vocalist/guitarist Chris Appleton and drummer Martin McNee having... |
Rock & Metal Circus Festival, Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, Bromsgrove, UK
Saturday 21st September 2013 (Day Two, Part Two 'The Metal Circus')
With some liquid refreshment (oh, and some food as well) thrown down my neck we took a little while to have a proper look around the site and buy a selection of 'Pam's Happy Hats' which were proving extremely popular with the crowd.

Rock & Metal Circus Festival, Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, Bromsgrove, UK
Saturday 21st September 2013 (Day Two, Part One 'The Rock Circus')
Waking up on what was a pleasantly nice Saturday morning, two things were abundantly clear. Firstly I had a bad headache which left me unable to move more than a few inches without feeling like I'd been hit by a hammer (not self inflicted I might... |
Rock & Metal Circus Festival, Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, Bromsgrove, UK
Friday 20th September 2013 (Day One)
After a fairly comfortable drive (although the Sat Nav did try and direct us through a couple of fields!), we arrived at the venue and were promptly asked if we needed help with our gear. Within seconds we had two guys (one of them 'Hoff' the drummer in Black Acid Souls) putting... |
Event Preview of the 'Rock & Metal Circus' 20th-22nd September 2013
Stoke Prior Sports & Social Club, Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, UK
Does the UK need another Rock & Metal Festival? At the large end of the scale 'Reading (and Leeds) Festival' is a completely different beast from what it was in the 70's and 80's, catering for dance... |
