Panhead Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I saw them at Leeds Arena in 2019. The production was definitely worthy of the big stage and it was a fairly decent sized crowd. Granted, Leeds Arena isn't anywhere near as big as Manchester etc. Edited November 24, 2021 by Panhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on the Meliora album cycle and I think they only ended up playing there (Leeds Beckett University) as the  O2 Academy was already booked that night.

SuperBacon Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Been revisiting a few of my early to mid 00s albums and listened to Stapleton-Hug The Coast a lot over the last weeks. Just a really beautiful album, that fans of jangly emo-indie will like. @Egg Shen I know you like a bit of Biffy, Idelwild etc. I reckon you'll like this lot. I reckon they should've been bigger than they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 24, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2021 unfamiliar with that, i'll give it a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Managed to snag a Standing ticket for Ghost in Manchester. We were saying the other day about moving up to these arenas was a statement of intent and I know with pre-sales it's difficult to gage exactly how many tickets have already been sold, but all Standing tickets for Manchester had gone within 15 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic Indie Lad Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The new Cynic album is out and I love it. Found it quite an emotional listen following the deaths of Reinart and Malone last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Take out ‘Wait A Minute My Girl’ from the new Volbeat album and you’ve got a really decent new album from them. Probably their heaviest material for the better part of a decade, but the whole thing just feels a lot more focused than the last two albums. ‘Wait A Minute My Girl’ is fucking awful, but thankfully is the only song that leans heavily into that rock n roll style that the band has become known for. There is a cover of Roy Orbison’s ‘Domino’ on there too but I think that’s only on the deluxe version Edited December 3, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Any fans of Exodus? Gave their new album a listen today and was impressed, as I always am by their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 4, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2021 i didn't even know Exodus had a new record out, i will check that out. Looking forward to that Volbeat album too. I know they are a bit of marmite band but ive loved every album they've put out, hoping for a tour annoucement soon as well.

WyattSheepMask Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) I found out yesterday that you can hide songs on Spotify, essentially deleting them the album, which has improved the new Volbeat album immensely now that I don’t have to listen to ‘Wait A Minute My Girl’ ever again. I honestly can’t put into words how bad that song is. Exodus are a band that I’ve tried to get into before (my mate absolutely loves them), but they just don’t do anything for me. Part of that is Steve Souza’s vocals, he just sounds awful. But that’s just my opinion Edited December 4, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divorced Dad Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I'll preface this by saying I'm never ever listened to a Volbeat song before but I just listened to that song and quite liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsfromlee Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Every Time I Die seem to be on the verge of imploding which is a big shame as their new record is one of their best for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
