I reviewed Brat's last album and enjoyed it and was gutted when I missed them supporting Napalm Death. Can't do them all I suppose 😂

Check out Orchards of a Futile Heaven, it's a stunning album The Body released with Dis Fig. I saw them perform it live two years ago and it was stunning. I wanted to see Brat, but missed the tour and Crowbar are always superb

I saw The Body on Wednesday night supporting Full of Hell and my ears still haven't recovered 😂

Primitive Man are a bit good, enjoy

Loved seeing these live last year for the first time

The bar I'm currently in has Omnipollo on quite regularly, excellent pint

Saturday afternoon pints it is 🍺

My ears are still ringing a few days later 🤘😂 #metalsky

Salah, now Robbo, whose next?
End of an era #lfc

Impressive new album from Nervosa #metalsky

Hmm, t-shirt or vinyl, it's a tough choice 😂

Excellent, I saw them last year in Birmingham, and they were so much fun. The hats are ace, but I'm hoping the t-shirts are a bit better this time round. Only Wall supporting tonight as Shred Dibnah were meant to be opening but they've sadly had to pull out due to illness.
