On the last night of his European leg of the Motor Tour, the Kentish Town Forum lit up with excitement as Bilmuri (Johnny Franck) graced the stage, enthusiasm at a maximum right from the top of the set.

Bilmuri is the epitome of 'Y'allternative'- not so much a genre of music, more a Midwest emo state of mind. The night began with 'EMPTYHANDED' from Bilmuri's latest of many albums; 'AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS'. (You'd better get used to these capital letter titles). The song introduced perfectly the mood of the night; a funky, punchy country-fest.

Manchester pop-punk band Hot Milk have just unveiled their new track ‘‘Swallow This’’, from their upcoming sophomore album Corporation P.O.P, scheduled for release on June 27, 2025 via Music for Nations. The new album is shaping up to be a bold, high-energy release packed with sharp political commentary, raw emotions, and punchy alt-rock vibes. The new release follows the album's lead single "90 Seconds to Midnight" unleashed earlier this year, on February 25.

In 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows' John Koenig coined the term anemoia- the feeling of nostalgia for a time that you never knew, or indeed that never even existed. Over their eight albums, The Darkness have cultivated the musical version of anemoia, dragging the listener through an uncanny valley of familiar but slanted glam rock.

This isn't the first time The Darkness have played Wembley having supported Hollywood Vampires in the arena back in 2018 and co-headlining with Black Stone Cherry in 2023. Tonight, however it is all about the enigmatic quartet and their sold out 'Dreams on Toast' album tour.

On March 25th 2025, Morgan Wade took the stage at the O2 Forum Kentish Town for a special acoustic show. The moment she walked out, the crowd knew they were in for something special. With just her voice, a guitar, and raw emotion, she created an unforgettable night of music. The O2 Forum Kentish Town was the perfect spot for this kind of performance. It’s big enough to hold a crowd, but small enough to feel personal. The stripped-down setup gave the night a relaxed vibe, making it feel like a private session rather than a big concert.

Lady Gaga has announced ‘‘The Mayhem Ball’’, an expansive world tour spanning 16 cities across North America and Europe later this year, marking a highly anticipated return to the live stage. The tour is set to commence with two performances on July 16 and 18 at Las Vegas, following her headlining set at Coachella this spring.

Being called a 'brat' a decade ago would've garnered a very different reaction to the same accusation in 2025. Nowadays Delilah Bon embraces the label as a bona-fide Punk-Brat and the description is apt. Charlie XCX may have notoriously popularised the phrase last summer but in the world of down and dirty hip-hop infused nu-metal, the description reeks of raw attitude and authentic rage.

Tonight, Delilah Bon has attracted an audience of young women and their very much chaperoned men, creating a safe space to absolutely lose your shit.

French progressive metalcore Novelists have unveiled their newest track ‘‘Say My Name” accompanied by a music video. The new single comes ahead of the release of their upcoming album CODA, out May 16, 2025 via ACKOR music, a French record label created by members of Novelists and LANDMVRKS.

Loreen took over the magnificent Eventim Apollo venue in London for a concert where powerful vocals and mystical stage presence were aligned to transport the audience into a different world. The two-time Eurovision winner confirmed that she is not only an icon of the Song Contest, but also an experienced performer who knows her craft, through raw emotions, soaring vocal capabilities and impressive on-stage performance.

It is 21.30 on the dot when Orla Gartland and her all female band, bassist Scarlet Halton and drummer Sara Leigh Shaw, take the stage running. “Holding Out For a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler is blasting off the speakers, filling the room and immediately introducing the theme of the tour, aptly named the Hero Tour, after Gartland’s second LP, Everybody Needs a Hero.

British metal band Sleep Token have just unveiled a new ‘‘offering’’ titled "Emergence," acting as the lead single from their forthcoming fourth album, Even In Arcadia, via RCA Records and scheduled for release on May 9, 2025, almost exactly two years since unleashing their last record Take Me Back To Eden. Produced by Carl Bown, the new release features the band's signature genre-blending style, combining atmospheric elements with heavy riffs and melodic vocals, also incorporating a saxophone solo towards the end as standout element of the song.

Lady Gaga's latest album, MAYHEM was released on March 7, 2025 via Interscope Records, 5 years after her sixth album Chromatica. This seventh studio album marks a return to her pop roots, blending genres like synth-pop, disco, industrial pop, rock, and dance-pop. The album includes the singles “Disease” and “Abracadabra’’ as well as 12 other tracks that reveal Gaga’s desire for a mix of different sounds.

Canadian metal powerhouse Spiritbox have finally released their long-awaited second album Tsunami Sea, released on March 7, 2025, through Pale Chord and Rise Records. Following their successful debut album, Eternal Blue (2021), and two subsequent EPs, Rotoscope (2022) and The Fear of Fear (2023), the 11-track record showcases the band's evolution in blending intense metalcore elements with ethereal melodies and different genres, incorporating pop and drum’n’bass influences.
