Escape the Fate// Garage (Glasgow): 20 January 2018

On the 20th of January Escape The Fate came back to Glasgow, Scotland on their headline tour with support from Set To Stun and Shields to play at the Garage thanks to Triple G Music. Here is what we thought of all of the bands who performed.

First to grace the stage was Shields, a metal band from London, England. With being the first band on and not many people in the room at the moment they did not let this effect their live performance at all. Playing all originals that not many of the audience knew they had enough energy and a good flow between all of the songs that they were performing that people were still engaged with the performance. With also thanking everyone who came down early to catch their set and exciting the crowd about the other bands coming on after them they are a very humble band which is a very pleasing thing to see on the stage. As the end of their set came you could hear the people in the audience saying that they liked Shields and were a band they had to check out. An amazing opening act that we are looking forward to seeing more from in the future.

Second was a band that none of the audience had heard of before called Set To Stun, a three piece post-hardcore band from California, America. With their first time in the United Kingdom they left an impact with the crowd. With a lot of energy especially from the unclean vocalist and guitarist who was climbing up onto the balcony, running around the stage, coming into the crowd, being underneath the stage and doing headstands and more while performing it was hard to look away. Unfortunately however it was difficult to hear the vocals clearly so left the audience not completely sure what the lyrics were which was completely out of their control. I think this band have a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing what happens next for them.

Finally, was the band that everyone was there to see Escape The Fate a post-hardcore band from Las Vegas, America. With not as much energy around the stage as the others before them this did not stop a great set from the band and a very clean set. With playing both old and new songs that they have released Escape the Fate managed to give a set in which old and new fans could both enjoy and join in singing and dancing along to. As well as this they done a cover of My Chemical Romance's single "Dead!" which surprised the audience but went down well with everyone in the audience. With their guitarist Thrasher also breaking a guitar string the room went quiet for a moment before Craig (vocalist) started to sing acapella to entertain the crowd before continuing on with their set showing professionalism from the band themselves and the belief of "the show must go on".  A great headline band and one that definitely knows how to own a room!

Overall, it was an amazing night and we highly recommend checking out all of the bands and can't wait to see what comes next for all three of these bands.

Holding Absence // Audio (Glasgow) : 5 March 2018

Image
On the 2nd of March Holding Absence and Loathe were meant to be playing Audio in Glasgow. However due to the bad weather that had been going about the United Kingdom at the time the show had to get postponed to the 5th of March. However, this did not stop both bands from coming to Glasgow, Scotland and giving the audience an amazing show as well as the local support from Divide  and Rainfalls.  Rainfalls a four piece melodic-hardcore band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland was first to set foot on the stage. This band had a great sound to them which managed to get the crowd nicely ready for the artists who were ahead of them, as well as putting on a good show themselves. However, with the vocalist's back to the crowd throughout most of the set and with the stage rather dark throughout with only flashing lights it did make the stage hard to look at, at times. This is a band which does have a lot of talent however and would fit perfectly on a hardcore show. The other local band for

Black Veil Brides // 02 Academy (Glasgow) : 25 January 2018

As Black Veil Brides and Asking Alexandria do an American and European co-headline tour, I managed to catch them in Glasgow, Scotland with support from To The Rats and Wolves on the 25th of January 2018. As a result of this I decided to review the show and say my thoughts on all three bands and the set that they produced. The first band on the bill was To The Rats and Wolves  which the audience did not know of. This made for an amazing opening act who managed to get the crowd jumping around and having an amazing time and joining in with the band singing along, clapping and dancing by having a very party atmosphere about them. With great clean and unclean vocals it was easy to make out what the band was singing about and made the audience know more about the band as a whole. As the first time they have ever been in the United Kingdom, I feel this band is one that will have a large following when they come back and are a band you do not want to miss live!! Asking Alexandria was nex
