@DownloadFest Does that mean the bands on at 11 are going to be moved..?

[James O’Sullivan @JSully2510]

@trophyeyesmusic For ones you’re not playing at the minute? Gotta be Miming In The Choir and Bandaid. In general? Probably Kill, Rain On Me, and ofc Bandaid

@IanFortey my job just started a book club and I’m fighting for WereCage to be the choice for next month

Canada’s beloved indie rock trio @halfmoonrun played @O2ForumKTown on Wednesday, 13th September, as part of an expansive global tour - and they were simply stunning.

Loved my first time at this gorgeous festival

@2000trees - initially a simple grassroots gathering, has grown into a sprawling, multiple-stages tapestry of music and culture, and 2023 promised to be as good as, if not better, the now 14 iterations that had come before.

@DownloadFest 2023. Headlined by Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon and Metallica(s), it was a true celebration in metal music, both new and old, as Donnington’s Download turned Twenty.

@SpanishLuvSongs Wonderful meeting you and Meredith! Thanks for taking the time 🖤

@RecordTokens @RSDUK Most! I’d say any band I listened to until the age of about 16 was because of my dad, ranging from the bands he got into when I was young (Keane, Embrace) to the bands he loved before I was born, from Pink Floyd and Genesis to Deacon Blue and Runrig :)

Have worn thrm consistently for about 100 gigs now over the past year and couldn’t hope for better!

#AlbumReview
‘Take Me Back To Eden’ is a masterpiece; through Vessel’s distinctive vocals and candid lyrics, and II, III and IV’s powerful instrumentals, @Sleep_Token have created a new, shadowy realm for their fans to inhabit.

@wobblymoomin Can you send me one? I have no idea the rules of Twitter, sometimes I can message and sometimes I can’t 🥴

@BigJeffJohns @GWR I’ve applied to be a world record holder having done 102 last year, and even then I know that that’s nothing compared to some people (ie yourself!) - I’ve applied purely so my reasoning can be ‘I got indignant at some guy thinking 86 is special’

#AlbumReview
Opening with the penetrative blare of a klaxon, debut album ‘From Hell To Here’ by Cardiff quartet @HimalayasBand starts off as urgent, in-your-face rock — and, even as tempo wavers, that intensity never fades.

#AlbumReview
Despite the ever-looming curse of the second album, the sophomore offering by @grandson - ‘I Love You I’m Trying’, is nothing short of superb.
