November 7th Bleeding Through - Rescue Rooms

Considering that at about 6:58 (doors opening at 7) me, Jess and Adele were the only people waiting to go in, it turned out to be a really good gig!

First up were a band called Death Of Thieves.


They were pretty cool, but i recon the lead singer was pissed off because no one was doing anything! He even tried to start a pit himself, jumping off stage, still singing..but to no prevail :(
Talking of the stage, there was no barrier up so i was leaning on the stage throughout the gig...fun times :)

Next up were Viatrophy, sporting a different singer from when they supported Caliban last year. Not so much a new singer, as he was a member when they first started out.


Viatrophy were beastly...in a good way. The beefiest music you could imagine, finally people started moving! At around this time the room had 'filled' to about 100 people, much more than the 3 earlier but not nearly the full capacity of the Rescue Rooms. The good thing about this gig though is that it didnt matter. Its not how full the room is but how much the handful of people there love music, and the audience difinately did love the music, no doubt about that.

In between the sets of Viarophy and Bleeding Through came an annoying drunk girl, defiant in the fact that she was going to talk to me...none stop...about crap...whilst not so subtly spitting in my face with every word she spoke. Not fun times at all, but next came the deal clencher that would make this gig one of my favourites ive ever been to...which is lot by the way!

Last up were headliners Bleeding Through.

Bleeding Through were fucking awesome! I actually let go more than i ever had at a gig, i was moshing like a beast! First up were two songs off their current release Declaration. After these came the monster of a song that is 'For Love And Failing', kicking off with one of the best intros ever, Brandan Schiepatti growling the words 'I DONT GIVE A FUCK!..'
In this song came one of the highlights of the night, Brandan, hand on my head, face only centermeters away sang at me as i did him...YAY!


Some other songs they played include Sister Charlatan, Love Lost In A Hail Of Gun Fire, The Painkiller, Tragedy Of Empty Streets and Revenge I Seek.
They finished with Kill To Believe, rounding up a truely awesome set with a brilliant song.
By this time my head felt like it would fall off my neck, having headbanged waay to much. (Work on Saturday was well painful and even now my neck hurts whenever i move! I've also got a nice lumpy bruise on my ancle from a flailing pitter, but you cant complain :)

After the gig i met all the lovely members of Bleeding Through and got photos and many signitures on three albums, two DVD's, a poster advertising the gig and the running time list. I didnt have a damn ticket because Rock Ciy have adopted the stupid thought that its easier to just tick your name off a list than give you the ticket YOU PAID FOR if its ordered within two weeks of the gig. Bloody idiots.

Farewell - Isn't This Supposed To Be Fun?

I saw Farewell supporting You Me At Six on the 17th of this month, while there i bought there album (which was a bargain may i add, i got it for a fiver even though it was getting sold at about 8 quid in the venue - score!)

It is now the 27th and FINALLY, I'm listening to it!

I've got to say, I'm glad i did buy it, its a really good album, on first listen the stand out tracks for me are 'Start It Up' and 'War' (i remember them playing that one, very catchy indeed!)

Its straight up powerpop and not ashamed to be!

(That's a picture of my signed album and the very signed You Me At Six gig ticket)

Oh and on the note of gigs, for god sake people take a pen WITH YOU!
If your expecting to get stuff signed a pen is gonna come in handy don't you think?
Don't rely on the bands (Trust me, more times than not they don't have a sharpie between them all!)
And bloody hell don't rely on those of us who actually use our common sense and bring one.
Trust, its annoying as hell when you take your own and it gets used so much by other fools who haven't got one that when it FINALLY come to you getting your own ticket signed the crappy things run out!
(Personal experience guys, it ain't fun!)

Back to the matter at hand, if anyone enjoys a good old fun, upbeat, happy, unashamedly poppy band check Farewell out!

They have a video on You Tube so it won't even take much effort!
It's called 'First One On The Blog' - Enjoy

P.S They are all really cool guys and the guitarist Buddy soooo looks like my photography teacher Paul...just a bit for the fact fans there.

Everyone else has one so...

..well...when i say everyone i mean Jess (who will probably never use it) and Sophie...but i felt left out!

check me out blogging...whats it all about!


I probably will forget about this but ill try not to :)
