Exit Calm at Academy, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Fri 22 Feb
For a band that's been amassing plaudits and critical acclaim since their conception in 2006, it's something of a travesty that Exit Calm still reside in the same underground backwaters seven years on.»

Blindness, Hunting Party, Creatures Of Love at Shacklewell Arms, Dalston, Wed 16 Jan

The Vaccines, Diiv, Deap Vally, Pale at The Dome, Doncaster, Fri 23 Nov

M83 at Brixton Academy, Lambeth, Thu 08 Nov
It’s evident from the atmosphere that as the lights continue to flash and the cowbell donks to the very end, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming really has provided many people with a journey to remember.»
Peace, Carousels at The Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Mon 22 Oct
With just one limited edition single and a recently released EP to their name, such prophecies of all encompassing greatness are a tad premature to say the least. »
Mr Jack's Birthday at Peak Cavern, Castleton, , Sat 06 Oct

Elizabeth Fraser at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Lambeth, Wed 08 Aug
Let's hope such adulation hurries her return.»
The Stone Roses at Heaton Park, Salford, Fri 29 Jun
As reunion shows go; and let's be honest, there've been so many these past few years; this is up there with the best of them, which considering DiS walked in fearing a car crash of epic proportions and walked out pleasantly surprised, is no mean feat. »

Tricky, Martina Topley-Bird at IndigO2, Greenwich, London, Fri 27 Apr
