Mayday Parade // Interview with Derek Sanders

Mayday Parade is back in the UK. New album 'Monsters In The Closet' came out last year and the five-piece has been riding a wave of success since then. The bands' fourth album in their career has taken things to the next level. The band were playing to a sold out Leeds Cockpit and we couldn't wait to catch up with them.

NME RADAR TOUR 2013 // Cerebral Ballzy- Interview & Live Review

It’s been a couple of years since we last caught up with New York punk outfit Cerebral Ballzy and, it is safe to say, they have been causing chaos ever since. Back over in the UK they are coming to the end of a headline run on the NME Radar Tour 2013. Est.1987 headed down to The Cockpit in Leeds to catch the final night of the tour. Click below to read the live review and to find out what happened when we caught up with front-man Honor Titus before the show to chat about the new record, working with Julian Casablancas and partying in a more expansive way…

Don Broco // Live Review & Photo Set, Leeds Met

Headlining their first festival, bagging a top 40 single and playing main stage at Reading and Leeds, Don Broco’s 2013 hasn’t been half bad. The Bedford four-piece is currently storming the UK on another headline tour and, with all dates near sell-outs, it’s the perfect pre-Christmas treat before the guys take time away to work on album number two.

Last time the Bedford four-piece were in Leeds they were storming the main stage at the festival so we were excited to see what their live headline show had to offer. Click below to read our live review and to view all the photos from the show…

Vans Warped Tour // Kevin Says Tour, Live Review ITCH

Last month we caught up with iTCH ahead of the Vans Warped Tour coming back to the UK. As well as playing the main event at London’s Alexandra Palace iTCH was also heading out on the Kevin Says Tour. A couple of firsts were in store as we headed down to the Leeds show last week; it is the first time that the Kevin Says Tour has hit the UK and, indeed,  iTCH’s first headline tour. We also checked out main support RDGLDGRN.

The Maine // Interview with John O'Callaghan & Jared Monaco & Live Review

The Maine, on tour with Anberlin has been taking Europe by storm; unfortunately Anberlin had to pull out of the UK dates. However Britain’s very own We Are The Ocean have been drafted in and are quite the worthy replacement.

Est.1987 headed down to check out the show, but not before catching up with The Maine boys beforehand. To read what they had to say to us about the new record, their DIY ethic and looking back at your school yearbooks and see all the action from the show, click below…

Alice In Chains // Live Review, O2 Academy Leeds

Since the death of singer and founding member Layne Stanley some fans and critics have tried to turn their backs on Seattle rockers, Alice In Chains. However, their successful comeback cannot be argued.

They are back in Leeds tonight and Est.1987 headed down to O2 Academy, excited to see what their live show had to offer. Click below to read our review…

The Feeling // Live Review, Leeds City Varieties

The Feeling have been away for a little while and, by the looks of the crowd filing into Leeds City Varieties tonight, it would be fair to say that they have been missed. The show is a sell-out and the anticipation in the room to witness their return couldn’t be greater.

Est.1987 were lucky enough to head down to the show to see what they had to offer after the release of new album ‘Boy Cried Wolf’. Click below to read our live review…

Blessthefall // Interview with Beau Bokan & Eric Lambert & Live Review

Blessthefall has had a pretty busy 2013. After playing on the main stage at Warped Tour all summer they’ve just released new album ‘Hollow Bodies’ and are back over in the UK on a headline tour.

The 1975 // Live Review, Stylus Leeds

Manchester four-piece, The 1975, has had a pretty phenomenal few months. Numerous sell out UK and US tours, countless packed festival tent performances, millions of web hits, oh and a debut number one selling album; not bad then. Behind the scenes the quartet has been working hard for a decade, perfecting their sound and live performance. It is this very live show that we headed down to see at Leeds University’s Stylus. The entire tour sold out months ago so we were expecting something pretty special...

Party In The Park 2013 // Live & Backstage Report

It may have been the first time that Party in the Park, (with 96.3 Radio Aire and Leeds City Council), charged for entry but, with a hefty line-up of chart topping pop acts to look forward to, no one was deterred. The rain may have put in an untimely appearance, but certainly didn’t dampen spirits; Party in the Park pulled it off once again this year with a star-studded line up. 

Est.1987 were on-hand at Temple Newsham Estate to bring you all the action from the site, both behind the scenes and out on stage. Click below to read our full live report…

Bam Margera’s F**kface Unstoppable Tour Review // Leeds O2 Academy

Bam Margera; his name is synonymous with anarchy and chaos, oh and hit shows such as Jackass and Viva La Bam. A skateboarder come stuntman, he’s also directed films and hosted his own radio show. However, Bam is now trying his hand at fronting a band, aptly named “F**kface Unstoppable”. Having already sold out shows in Australia and his native America, the MTV star is bringing the tour to the UK.

Est.1987 headed down to Leeds’ O2 Academy intrigued as just what the show had to offer…

Justin Pearson, RETOX // Exclusive Interview & Live Review

From Locust to Swing Kids and now Retox, Justin Pearson has been a prolific part of the punk scene for nearly a decade. 
Est.1987 headed down to Leeds to check out Retox’s headline show and Justin took time out before the show to chat with us about his musical endeavours, changes in the punk scene and why Christina Aguilera is a “punk ass motherf****r”

Jurassic 5 // Live Review, Leeds O2 Academy

Hip hop heroes Jurassic 5 may have been away for a while, having split up back in 2007. However, they are back and on their much anticipated reunion tour after their first set in seven years at the recent Coachella music festival.

Now bringing the tour to the UK, Est.1987 headed down to Leeds’ O2 Academy to see what the genre heavyweights had in store…

SLAM DUNK NORTH 2013 // THE REVIEW

All the tickets have long since sold out, the bands are ready to go and the beer is flowing from the bar, and for once the sun is beating down on Leeds which can only mean one thing; welcome to Slam Dunk North 2013.

We had a feeling that with the line-up on offer it was set to be the best year yet, and what a day it was…

Lower Than Atlantis // Live Review, Leeds Met

Lower Than Atlantis are currently storming the UK on their “F**k It To The Man Tour”, their biggest headline tour to date.

Walk The Moon // Video Interview & Live Review

We caught up with Walk The Moon, (the fun facepaint loving foursome), before their sold out Leeds show to interview them ahead of the gig. And after hanging out with them we knew we were in for a treat at the show.

 Walk The Moon's new EP, “Tightrope”, is out now and the Ohio four-piece are currently back in the UK to support none other that PINK.
