The Ocean – Phanezoroic I/Phanozeric II – 26 November 2021 (live streams)

Anyone who’s spent any reasonable amount of time in Jase W’s general vicinity will know that he is a huge fan of The Ocean, a truly interesting band hailing from Berlin, Germany, known for their extended length songs across several albums, each with their own narrative. So, imagine his surprise when he got an email dropped into his inbox asking if he wanted to review their ‘Phanerozoic’ live stream; there was not a chance in hell he’d pass up the chance to sit and listen to The Ocean for nearly two hours and gush about it…

Horns – ‘Horns’ (Self-Released)

Posted by | Dec 1, 2021 | ,

What exactly do you get when you meld together the genres of jazz and metal? What really happens when Sinatra meets Satan? The answer to that question, friends, is Horns, the brilliant new project from the extraordinary mind of pianist and composer Simon Fache. Their self-titled debut album is a brilliant romp where the devil himself swing dances with his evil underlings to the sounds of bold and majestic horns set against the twisted metal of shredding guitars.

The Offspring, a mainstay of Jase W’s teenage days, hit his adopted hometown of Manchester on the penultimate night of a tour in support of their latest album, ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’. Jase reckons this is legitimately one of the best venues he’s ever been to in the whole of the ÜK: it’s bloody massive and the right venue to see a band like this…

Marillion – London, Hammersmith Apollo – 27 November 2021

As gigs and concerts get back to some kind of normality, the title of this tour from prog legends Marillion – ‘The Light at the End of The Tunnel’ tour – seems strikingly appropriate. A valid domestic covid passport, or proof of a negative test is still required for entry tonight, but that seems to be ‘normality’ now anyway, at least for the time being. Tonight’s show is the last of the ten dates of the UK leg of the tour, the second of two nights at the Hammersmith Apollo, and one that is being live streamed via the band’s website.

Jonny B distinctly remembers one of his friends coming up to him at Bloodstock absolutely buzzing with excitement to tell our man that he’d just seen a band cover the ‘Fun House’ theme tune. Shortly afterwards, JB started to see more and more people raving about this last-minute addition to the Bloodstock line-up and he suddenly regretted not crawling out of his van in time to check them out. It’s okay though, because he managed to convince the boss, in a rare moment of weakness, to put him down to go see Punk Rock Factory in Glasgow, even though they are “only” a cover band…
