Gig Review - Lost Society - Underworld, Camden - 11/3/26

On Wednesday the 11th of March 2026, the Underworld in Camden had the roof blown clean off by the totally outstanding music that was being performed, and I was there to witness it.

I was with my awesome friend Carmen and we got the best spot in the whole venue, the little balcony directly opposite the stage. Not only could we see the stage perfectly with no 6 foot person standing in front of me and the railing was the perfect height for me to put my phone on it to record my favourite songs.

Awake Again

I have never been so blown away but an unknown (to me) support band before. They were absolutely amazing and I loved every minute of their set. Their music was brilliant, they had the best dance moves, they made me laugh and I just had so much fun seeing them.

I met them at their merch stall after the show and had a quick chat with them, they all seem like really lovely people. I hope they come back to the UK soon so I can see them again.

Lost Society

The moment that Lost Society took to the stage, the crowd erupted with applause and the band went straight into the first song of the night, Afterlife.

The set was a perfect mix of their new album "Hell Is A State Of Mind" and older albums such as "No Absolution", "If The Sky Came Down", "Braindead" and "Fast Loud Death". My favourite songs f    rom the set are Blood Diamond, 112, Underneath, Dead People Scare Me, Riot, Nonbeliever and Awake. 

I have become accustomed to the fact that any Lost society gig will be full of energy, perfectly played music, a sore throat from screaming every word and the possibility of whiplash from all the headbanging. This gig had all of that and more.

I loved that during Into Eternity, the group of people that were keeping the mosh pit going, did a slow mosh pit in time to the music. It was so funny to watch and Samy found it hilarious commenting on it from the stage. 

My absolute favourite songs of the night are Blood Diamond, Dead People Scare Me, Riot, Nonbeliever and Awake. They were the songs that really got me going, hearing them live is a million times better than listening to them on Spotify. I love them for their energy and how they make me move.

EP Review - Table 4 Four - RiotWeekend

If you are after songs to add to your summer pop-punk, you need to listen to this awesome EP from RiotWeekend, because from the first song to the last, you won't be able to sit down.

The 4 piece band from Guildford, made up of Holly, Rab, Tomma and Salvatore, are releasing their 4 track EP, Table4Four on Friday the 27th of March.

It's very hard to pick a favourite song from the tracks but the one that stands out the most to me, and has been listened to the most on this EP, is Smile. It's the last track on the EP so it's like the band are closing the EP by giving everyone a big burst of energy. I love that there is some screaming in it, it's not in your face but it's there at the perfect moments in the song.

The music and vocals on every song is brilliant, you can really hear that the band have an amazing energy together. It's fun and bouncy to get you moving around, except Days Of December which is a bit like a little break before they launch into Smile to get you back on your feet.

I can see all of these songs being amazing played live by giving everyone in the venue a feel good atmosphere to dance to, and we have some great opportunities to see them in the coming months. When I spoke to the band a little while ago, they promised there is more to be announced so make sure they you are following them on socials and sign up to their newsletter to stay up-to-date.

We Are Chicken - Maidstone

One of my favourite things to do on cinema nights is to go to We Are Chicken for my dinner. The Odeon cinema and We Are Chicken are all in Lockmeadow in Maidstone so I don't even have to leave the building to get food before seeing a film and as it's in the food court part of Lockmeadow, there are loads of places to sit while you eat.

I usually don't like it that much when my chicken wings have a crust and are deep fried but the wings at We Are Chicken are amazing! I get the 10 wings for £10.95 because 5 of these awesome wings just isn't enough.

They are never dried out or falling apart, they stay together really nice and are still really moist so that they are more enjoyable.

I love the sauces, I have tried Frank's Buffalo Honey & Garlic and sticky BBQ, they are all amazing. I am trying to work my way through the sauces but the buffalo sauce keeps calling me back. As well as the sauce that goes on the chicken wings, you also get little pots of sauce for dipping. I love having the blue cheese sauce because it compliments the buffalo sauce perfectly.

You can have the chicken wings plain, without any sauce, there isn't an option on the screen but if you tell the lovely people working there that you want them plain, they will do that for you. I took my niece and nephew here before and they didn't like the sound of any of the sauces so the staff were kind enough to do them plain for me.

They do lots of other food too like wraps, fries and chicken tenders but I haven't tries those yet.

Single Review - Cracks - The Dead Collective

Today is a special day as it is release day for the new single "Cracks" from The Dead Collective. 

This song hits me in that quiet, unexpected way that a good late‑night song does. The Dead Collective lean into atmosphere, but what really grabbed me was the emotional weight tucked between the lines. The guitars feel like they’re drifting in from another room, and Oli's vocals have this worn, vulnerable edge that makes the whole track feel confessional.

There’s a kind of beautiful heaviness in the track, the sense of someone trying to make sense of the fractures in their life without pretending they can fix them.

For me, this track is one of those songs you don’t just sit and listen to; you get drawn into it with it's quieter music and harmonies in the verses and then a slightly more upbeat and louder chorus to bring it all to life.

Check out the song and if you like it, you have time to get tickets to the Metamorphosis tour that kicks off on the 16th of April in Milton Keynes with Anchor Lane as support until the last 2 shows of the tour where Jim Jennett will be the support doing an acoustic.
