07.19.11The Mars Volta at Sonisphere 2011A strange choice in headliner for Sonisphere. Its difficult to describe if they were good or not, most people just looked confused. The only thing that stood out was my shock at seeing the big hair has gone. Continue Reading...

07.19.11Motorhead at Sonisphere 2011Motorhead performed Sundays set in tribute to their former guitarist Wurzel who had died of a heart attack the day before. Why they still play as loud as ever, they are looking more and more shakey around the seams with each show they play. But its still Motorhead...and Killed By Death, Ace Of Spades and Overkill end the show in a way only they can. Continue Reading...

07.19.11Parkway Drive at Sonisphere 2011Parkway Drive put on a steady if unremarkable performance on the Saturday of Sonisphere... The crowd go absolutely mental for it though! Extra kudos for continuing on with their guitarist stuck in a wheelchair after an ankle break. Continue Reading...

07.19.11House of Pain at Sonisphere 2011We just wanted to hear 'Jump Around' really. Continue Reading...

07.19.11Gallows at Sonisphere 2011One of the most memorable performances of Saturday in Knebworth. Gallows attract a gigantic crowd to witness what will be Frank Carter's final festival performance with the band. The circle pit literally takes up the whole field with an ice cream van stuck in the middle. Chaotic and amazing. Continue Reading...

07.19.11Black Tide @ Sonisphere 2011You can't fault the musician ship on display, but Black Tide don't really show the what they promised a couple of years back when they appeared on the scene. A set full of new material fails to get the crowd going as much as the few old favourites they played. Continue Reading...

07.18.11Richard Cheese at Sonisphere 2011Mr. Cheese's lounge takes on popular tracks can be amusing at times... you can't help but smile at a crooner singing "People=Shit" to you, but the cover of 'Down With The Sickness' is as good as it gets. The novelty can quickly wear off, but the set length is perfect for this years 'gimic'. Continue Reading...

07.18.11Pulled Apart By Horses at Sonisphere 2011Oh! So that's what all the fuss is about. This was my first encounter with PABH and hopefully not the last. Bridging the gab between indie ant metal, this 4 piece have a bright future ahead of them. Continue Reading...

07.17.11Weezer at Sonisphere 2011Armed with the best melodies and sing-a-long tunes you are likely to here at this festival, Weezers infectious set amplified how important they have been in the last 18 years. Can't help but wonder how many people were saying " I never knew this was by Weezer" after 'their rendition of 'Teenage Dirtbag' during which Rivers Cuomo walked the length of the front row high fiving everyone.
