Hollywood Undead // 02 Academy (Glasgow): 24 January 2018

Hollywood Undead came back to the United Kingdom this month with their own headline tour with support from The One Hundred from London, England. We managed to see them in Glasgow on the first night of the tour (24th January 2018) and are happy to share our thoughts on the show.

The One Hundred as the only support act for the show was first to go on the stage, with many people not knowing who they were it was difficult to warm up the crowd. However, this did not stop them from having fun on stage and dancing about and seeming to be in their own bubble. With the crowd not sure what to make of them they continued by playing songs from their new album as well as some of their older music. It was difficult to really know what to think of their set as they played fast jumpy songs then slow songs every once in a while making the set sort of jumpy instead of as smooth as it could have been. However, this was a great opening act which is a band that we should all be keeping an eye on.

Next it was time of the headliners themselves, Hollywood Undead. With the energy that they had on the stage mixed with their masks on for the first few songs before taking them off the audience was captivated and throwing the energy back at them by jumping about and singing along to every word they sang. At one point their new drummer got the microphone and started singing "Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi who's vocals were out of this world and had the crowd singing along and also in shock that the drummer was able to sing as well as he could. The staging itself also wowed the crowd with them having pyrotechnics behind them adding to the experience of the show. As their set went on they started to play older songs which everyone knew as well as ones from their new album Five making older fans as well as newer ones able to join in with the music and have fun while knowing at least a couple of songs. One thing I really liked about their set was that they brought two of their fans onto the stage and had a small guitar battle and the winner got to play guitar for one of their songs making the night of the fan as well as showing that they really are a band that loves their fans. Overall, they were an amazing headline band and one that has a lot of fun on stage and makes the audience have fun with them.

Overall, this was a show which we are glad we did not miss and one that everyone could have had fun at as it seemed more like a party than an actual live show!

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

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

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
