If I'm not at a gig or festival, I'm probably posting about how much I miss them.

30 - He/Him
This clear and glittery pressing of Tsunami Sea looks absolutely incredible! 😍😍

Spiritbox have absolutely knocked it out of the park with this vinyl variant! It fits so perfectly with the album! 🙌🏼

Now if anyone needs me, I'm gonna be watching this record spin for the next few hours!! 🤘🏼😁

So putting this up here so that it can fade away with no view but I can at least be positive about it!

Started sorting through my "Corner of Doom" and even though it's still there, progress has definitely been made! 🙌🏼

Also the irony of the light box saying "Matt's Clean Room" is brilliant 🙄

So to break up the constant band photos and tour announcement content on here, check out the photos from when I went to puppy sit an 8 week old Akita baby called Millie! 😍

Can't lie I did try and steal her but apparently that wasn't allowed 😫

Usually I just do one at a time, but this time we're hitting three gigs in three days! Some absolutely huge shows and who better to kick things off than the metalcore titans - The Devil Wears Prada 😍🤘🏼

This is gonna be great fun! Now just to remember to pace myself so I can survive all three shows 😅

Really not sure what to expect from tonight's F1 75 Launch event!

It's either gonna be a great evening, or horrifically bad! And I get the feeling it might be the latter 😅

So I may have put off editing these photos for like a week... But damn did Madina Lake put on a great show over in Leeds last weekend!

So much nostalgia in one evening! 😍 It took me straight back to 2009!

Plus two new discoveries in Bad Luck and Greywind to add to my list of bands seen in 2025! 🤘🏼

Best of luck to anyone trying to get tickets this morning for Ozzy and Black Sabbath! 😅🤘🏼

May the Ticketmaster gods actually get their shit together for once and run a competent presale! 👀🤞🏼

Have my posts purely become a gig poster followed by gig photos every other day? Yep!

Is that changing any time soon? Of course not!

Here's tonight's fun! Can't wait to relive my teenage emo years to some classics! I may have been at their farewell tour in 2013, but it's great to see them back! 🤘🏼

Another week, another gig to tick off my 2025 list! 🤘🏼

Ended Independent Venue Week in style by heading into Leeds to catch Defences playing at The Pack Horse!

Support sets from Lia Rye, Starved and Crushed by Waves gave me a whole list of new songs to check out as well after the gig! 🙌🏼

Second gig of the week and it's time to get intimate!

After the release of Shadowlight last year, Defences absolutely flew back on to my radar! So the opportunity to catch them playing in Leeds alongside it is a no brainer!

Keep this lot in your mind cause they're gonna blow up in 2025 for sure! 🤘🏼
February 2, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Another week, another set of band photos! I swear I have other personality traits honest!! 😅🤘🏼

One Step Closer gave me a nice new discovery followed by The Wonder Years and Neck Deep showing why they're two of the best bands in the game right now!! 😍

... And yes, there was angry finger pointing! 👉🏼
February 1, 2025 at 5:28 PM
Had the absolute pleasure of taking a trip up to Newcastle yesterday to catch this huge pop punk lineup!

Neck Deep really are next level when it comes to their live shows! And I mean when you can have the ever amazing The Wonder Years as a support, you know you're in for an incredible evening! 😍

Consider this post not only a reason for me to show off my photos but also as a list of bands that you need to be checking out!

It could be argued that this is one of the best up and coming metalcore line ups of all time! 🤘🏼

Avoid, Vexed, Like Moths To Flames and Silent Planet... On the same bill!
January 28, 2025 at 7:18 PM
And to go alongside the gig photos, naturally this week's vinyl I'm spinning is the latest album from The Xcerts - Learning How To Live and Let Go... 🤘🏼

This Blood Records variant with a rainbow multi-splatter is so pretty, I genuinely have to stop and stare whenever I put it on! 😍🙌🏼
January 26, 2025 at 3:53 PM
As well as catching Silent Planet last week, I also took a separate trip into Leeds to watch The Xcerts play their ten year anniversary shows for There Is Only You! 😍🤘🏼

Some incredible new discoveries in the supports as well with both Heights and Redolent putting on great sets! 🙌🏼
January 26, 2025 at 10:56 AM
I'm not sure how a line up of this many incredible bands is happening at the 300 cap Key Club!

... But as someone with tickets tonight, I'm definitely not complaining! This one is gonna get rowdy very quickly isn't it!!
January 22, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Right considering that twitter is somehow still getting worse at each turn, I thought I should start to move onto here fully!

So here are my four personality traits that I will exclusively post about...

- Live Music
- Vinyl
- Hiking
- Dogs

Not a bad combo if I say so myself! 🙌🏼

Still got one more gig to go in 2024 before I can wrap up an incredible year... So here are some photos from last month to enjoy in the meantime instead! 😂

Seven gigs in a month is a little intense but I mean what better way to spend your spare time than with live music! ❤️🤘🏼
December 22, 2024 at 8:38 PM
Not me wondering why I'm sore this week and then remembering that this is how I spent my evening last week!🤘🏼

While She Sleeps kept up their reputation for having some of the best crowds around... And I mean you already know I had to come out of crowd surf retirement for this! 🙌🏼
December 18, 2024 at 7:24 PM
I'm all for four band bills to get even more music in my ears at a gig! And I mean with line ups like this, I really shouldn't complain!?!

But that said, doors to a show at 6pm is such a struggle on and evening!! 😫 It's a good thing my manager understands my love for live music 😅

Now to mosh! 🤘🏼
December 12, 2024 at 7:11 PM
Took myself over to Leeds last night after picking up some last minute Sleep Token tickets and oh boy, what a decision that was!! 😍

To describe last night as anything other than a religious experience would be underselling it! What an evening! 🙌🏼

Can't wait for them to headline Download next year!!
December 3, 2024 at 3:33 PM
Oh hey BlueSky! I'll do proper introductions later but nice to meet you all! Finally made the trip across from the hellscapes of twitter so let's hope that this is a much nicer place to be! 😁🤘🏼
