The Est.1987 crew are heading to Manchester this weekend to bring you a fresh new band interview [more to come on that over the next few days!], so it got us tracking down what else is going on over Manchester way- any slammin' night's for us to check out? Of course!

Asking Alexandria // Blessthefall Leeds Met Review

Asking Alexandria

The line-up of tonight’s show was pretty impressive to say the least. 


A juggernaut of epic proportions, we were treated to a plethora of metalcore and post-hardcore acts, oh and a little bit of deathcore in there for good measure. With acts from both the UK and across the pond, and expectations set high after chatting to the bands earlier, the evening was set to go off with a bang.
