    Frank Turner @ Barrowlands Review – 13/11/2015

    Barrowlands. Undoubtedly the greatest venue in Scotland, arguably the world,it’s hosted so many acts, ranging from The Smiths to the Foo Fighters, that just adjacent to the venue is a pathway listing all the bands who have came to Glasgow to play here. It’s a career defining venue with many home grown acts like Biffy Clyro playing…

    5 Stages Of Post Gig Grief: A FIDLAR Review

    If you somehow managed to avoid my social media last night/this morning then you’ll have fortunately missed my spam of the gig I went to last night. The gig in question, FIDLAR at Glasgow’s Garage, was something extra ordinary. In fact, it made me feel something that I’ve not felt since the Biffy Barrowlands gig…

    BCAYMI: November 2015

    When I attempted, and failed, to make my series Blink (Clyro) And You’ll Miss It into a monthly thing, I kinda fucked it up. Despite being one of my most popular posts, there was something about it that just didn’t sit with me right, like the potential it had just wasn’t being used. Now after a…

    Halloween 2015: The Best Creepypastas! 

    Halloween is fast approaching. Time to drench yourself in blood (hopefully fake) and get your spook on. Just like a male MP thinking about tampons, this time of the year is full of horror, whether it be watching Nightmare On Elm Street for the 50th time or drinking so much that your liver is no…

    Biffy Clyro: Fan Favourites!

    Originally posted last December to tie in with their trio of special Barrowland gigs, this post started off as a list of my favourite albums until I thought of something better: asking every other biffy fan for their favourite! Although it was possibly the hardest question any of them could face, there was a great…

  • Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens final trailer review

    Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens final trailer review

    I feel like a spoilt child at the moment, like it’s Christmas came early. Last week there was the release of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta, which you can read my thoughts about over here (unsubtle beg), which for a lot of people had them reliving the PS2 days of fighting on Hoth with their…

  • Star Wars Battlefront Beta impressions 

    Star Wars Battlefront Beta impressions 

    In news that will surprise no one, I love Star Wars. Ever since I was a youngster, lying on the couch watching the original trilogy on VHS, I’ve always had an attatchemnt to George Lucas’ epic saga. That’s what made purchasing the original Star Wars: Battlefront games on PS2 so easy. You have the rebels…

  • Sweet White gig w/ Monet EP review 

    Sweet White gig w/ Monet EP review 

    As I walked into the Edinburgh venue Peterhead band Sweet White were playing at, there was an overwhelming sense that something wasn’t quite right. “It looks like something out of Twin Peaks” quipped frontman Jake Cordiner as the band to prepared to go on stage. As they began to play, the same amazing surrealism that…

    Do’s and Dont’s in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

    If you’ve not been paying attention to any gaming news in the past month (if so then where the hell have you been) then you’ll know that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is pretty much the second coming of Christ. Raking in perfect scores all across the board, it looks like even all…

    Antique Pony – Unalbum review

    It seems like I never grow tired of going on about local and upcoming bands. Whether it be my fanboying of Codist a few weeks back after seeing them for the first time at The West Of The Moon or the raving review I gave Sweet White in my first and only (so far) blink…
