The fifth edition of AoniaFest took place on Saturday 24th June 2023 at The Corporation in Sheffield. Boasting (arguably) the strongest line-up to date, and as always, headlined by the operatic progressive metal band Aonia.

We spoke to vocalist Gemma and bassist Amie from Dakesis, live at the festival.

The Vomitour 2024 has seen everyone’s favourite party slam band, Party Cannon, hitting up city after city across the UK alongside hardcore noise mongers Street Soldier and Pintglass. A tour that has already seen sell out venues, more inflatables than should be legally allowed, utter carnage in the pits, and even mayonnaise! After all, it’s a Party Cannon show!

A show that we summed up with this statement:

There isn’t a single person not grinning from ear to ear and London made sure Party Cannon enjoyed themselves too, based off their smiles. We all might be feeling a bit dumber following the show, but we’re all that little bit happier.

You can read our full review of the show here: https://www.gbhbl.com/live-review-party-cannon-with-pintglass-and-street-soldier-at-the-garage-highbury-islington-london-23-09-24/

London marks the halfway point of the tour and it finds the band in very good spirits. Willing to talk not just about the current tour, but the Party Cannon lifestyle, their dedicated fanbase, seeing and feeling the progression in the band, being pigeon-holed, the drawbacks of pouring hot sauce into your eyes, scary fandoms, and something unspeakable about Robbie Coltrane.

Interview: Party Cannon from The Garage, London (23/09/24)

‘Nothing Ever Grows' is the new single from Bristol rock trio Krooked Tongue, released September 6th, 2024. It follows 2023's second studio EP 'Deathproof' which has been streamed over 320,000 times to date.

In addition, August 2024 saw their biggest support tour to date, supporting Kid Brunswick on his final 'Dead Forever' tour across the UK. They've also recently shared the stage with False Heads, Virgin Marys, Phoxjaw, Pulled Apart by Horses and Mother Vulture and have played slots at festivals such as Icebreaker, Dot to Dot, The Godney Gathering, Estonia's Tallinn Music Week and Burn It Down.

'Nothing Ever Grows' was recorded and produced with long-time producer Josh Gallop at Stage 2 Studios in Bath, a brooding number which serves to highlight the importance of a positive mental attitude.

In October, Krooked Tongue will be back on the road with a short stint around the UK playing headlines shows on the following dates and venues:

October 9th - 229 The Venue, London
October 10th - Tiny Rebel, Cardiff
October 11th - Bear’s Bar, Bournemouth
October 12th - Green Door Store, Brighton
October 13th - Rough Trade, Bristol

Vocalist and bassist Oli Rainsford found the time in his busy schedule to speak with us about the new single. Where we looked at it in context of the wider Krooked Tongue picture and dove into future plans and directions for the band. We also talked about the upcoming tour, and much more.
