T In The Park: The (slightly delayed) DiS review
What with being a bunch of self-absorbed Sassenachs and the press pass being organised a bit last minute, we didn't get around to running Simon Jay Catling's review of T In The Park in any sort of timeframe likely to make anybody involved look professional. Sorry Simon! Sorry Scotland! Please don't hurt us.»
DiS Festival Guide '09: The Thrash Hits guide to Hard Rock & Heavy Metal
If you’re serious about your heavy music, you’ve been following all the lineup releases already and you’ve started thinking which of the three summer festivals you’ll be attending and while it was relatively simple last year, the addition of Sonisphere to the list just makes the decision that bit more difficult explains Thrash Hits' editor Raziq Rauf.»

Reading & Leeds '07: DiS down the front
It's been pretty miserable at times - heavy, pluvial skies pathetic fallacy for debut all-dayers and long weekenders that have sometimes spluttered rather than flown out of the traps. The weather and the times - to an extent at least - brightened last weekend, with the traditional sign off from music in the sun that is Reading and Leeds. And that, I suppose, is reason enough to break from cynicism just this once. It was a bind, but there were finer times. Time to gather thoughts and lighten brows...»
Øya Festival 2007: the DiS verdict
Four days is a long time in festival terms, and like the sunless days that envelop the north of the country during the winter, it helps if there’s a bottle handy to steel yourself for its lingering embrace.»
Øya Festival: the DiS blog, part one
Dee-ah wun in dah Øya Festival… Oslo seems like a funny place. I was kind of half-expecting a palatial never-never land spirited away amongst the endless pines, but it looks kind of… ordinary. A bit scruffy-looking, with a predilection for buildings daubed in quirky shades of yellow and pink...»
A Month In Records: April 2007

Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor: Not the most depressed vampire anymore
Minutes before taking the stage, Trent Reznor – the sole member of Nine Inch Nails, as it were; his band have always been hired hands – sits nursing a bottle of water. Gone are the days of gallons of spirits, drugs and groupies as part of the pre-gig ritual. But even without the poisons upon which the rock world is lubricated by, he steps out in front of the thousands of adoring fans and gives one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen...»
